| Challenge: | In today's world most information is readily available. Consequently, the sole reproduction of information is losing attention. |
| Approach: | They propose an annotation approach to capture claims and premises of arguments and their relations in student-written peer reviews on business models in german language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotation scheme guides annotators to moderate agreement with the proposed scheme on 50 persuasive student-written peer reviews on business models. |
Learning Strategies for Robust Argument Mining: An Analysis of Variations in Language and Domain (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument mining is a complex process that requires a large amount of resources and time. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze arguments in three different languages and domains to understand their robustness to natural language variations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed systems are more robust to natural language variations than existing arguments mining systems. |
Unsupervised Argumentation Mining in Student Essays (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | State-of-the-art argumentation mining systems rely on annotated training data and are supervised, thus relying on an annotation of the components and relationships between them. |
| Approach: | They propose to bootstrap from a small set of argument components automatically identified using simple heuristics in combination with reliable contextual cues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms two supervised baselines and achieves 73.5-83.7% of the performance of a state-of-the-art neural approach. |
Cross-lingual Argumentation Mining: Machine Translation (and a bit of Projection) is All You Need! (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argumentation mining (AM) requires the identification of complex discourse structures . existing resources are not adequate for assessing cross-lingual AM due to their heterogeneity or lack of complexity. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to translate persuasive student essays into German, French, Spanish, and Chinese to compare arguments mining and annotation projection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods perform better when using expensive human or cheap machine translations and almost eliminate loss from cross-lingual transfer. |

Mining Complex Patterns of Argumentative Reasoning in Natural Language Dialogue (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argumentation scheme mining is the task of automatically identifying reasoning mechanisms behind argument inferences. |
| Approach: | They propose to create a corpus of 441 arguments annotated with 24 argumentation schemes and leverage the capabilities of LLMs and Transformer-based models to validate their applicability in real-world scenarios. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus of arguments is pre-trained on a large corpus containing textbook-like argumentation schemes and validates their applicability in real-world scenarios. |
