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)

Copied to clipboard

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)

Copied to clipboard

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.

Outcome: The proposed model outperforms models that rely on features or encode limited contexts on five domains and on peer reviews on five different domains.
