| Challenge: | Existing research for argument representation learning treats tokens in sentences equally and ignores the implied structure information of argumentative context. |
| Approach: | They propose to separate tokens into two groups to capture structural information of arguments and to incorporate paragraph-level position information into the model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model captures structural information of arguments and is able to identify arguments automatically. |

Towards Structure-aware Paraphrase Identification with Phrase Alignment Using Sentence Encoders (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing paraphrase identification datasets exhibit high correlation between positive pairs and the degree of their lexical overlap. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine sentence encoders with an alignment component by representing each sentence as a list of predicate-argument spans and decomposing the sentence-level meaning comparison into the alignment between their spans. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves performance and interpretability for various sentence encoders. |
Implicit Knowledge in Argumentative Texts: An Annotated Corpus (2020.lrec-1)

| Challenge: | Especially in argumentative texts, people omit information that seems clear and evident . a computational system typically does not possess commonsense or domain-specific knowledge to reconstruct implied information. |
| Approach: | They build a corpus of human annotations of missing and implied information in argumentative texts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset can help to assist automated argument analysis and guide the process of revealing implicit information in argumentative texts automatically. |

Structural Supervision for Word Alignment and Machine Translation (2022.findings-acl)

| Challenge: | Existing knowledge on syntactic structure neglects the rich structural information from target tokens and the structural similarity between the source and target sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose to incorporate syntactic structure of both source and target tokens into the encoder-decoder framework, tightly correlating the internal logic of word alignment and machine translation for multi-task learning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines on four publicly available language pairs and consistently outperformed baselines in alignment accuracy and translation quality. |
Unleashing the Power of Discourse-Enhanced Transformers for Propaganda Detection (2024.eacl-long)

| Challenge: | Existing systems focused on the surface words, ignoring the linguistic structure of the texts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use discourse analysis to analyze paragraph-level and token-level classifications and propose a Transformer architecture that can be used to detect propaganda. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system improves on English and Russian texts and shows strong correlations between propaganda instances and discourse spans. |
