Challenge: Existing studies identify argument pairs indirectly by predicting sentence-level relations between two documents, neglecting the holistic argument-level interactions.
Approach: They propose to use machine reading comprehension to extract argument pairs from two documents . they propose to employ an AM query to identify all arguments in two documents, then an APE query to extract its paired arguments from another document.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 7.11% in F1 score.
