From Argumentation to Deliberation: Perspectivized Stance Vectors for Fine-grained (Dis)agreement Analysis (2025.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to identify conflict resolution points require a deeper analysis of arguments and the perspectives they are grounded in. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for a deliberative analysis of arguments in a computational argumentation setup. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework allows us to identify actionable options for conflict resolution, as a first step towards deliberation. |

-Stance: A Large-Scale Real World Dataset of Stances in Legal Argumentation (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current tools for legal argument reasoning do not support this task. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a large-scale dataset to facilitate work on the legal argument stance classification task by evaluating whether a case summary strengthens or weakens a legal argument. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is used to facilitate work on the legal argument stance classification task, which involves assessing whether a case summary strengthens or weakens a legal argument (polarity) and to what extent (intensity). |
Determining Relative Argument Specificity and Stance for Complex Argumentative Structures (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on claim specificity and stance has been limited to shallow arguments . a system that can determine the stance of claims employed in argumentation is not sufficient . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset of manually curated argument trees to study claim specificity and stance in argumentation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset consists of manually curated argument trees for 741 controversial topics covering 95,312 unique claims. |
Modeling Deliberative Argumentation Strategies on Wikipedia (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for deliberative discussions have been built manually based on a small set of discussions, resulting in a level of abstraction that is not suitable for move recommendation. |
| Approach: | They propose to model argumentation strategies of deliberative discussions by annotating ongoing discussions with a label that can be used for move description. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can predict arguments of participants in deliberative discussions using metadata from Wikipedia talk pages. |

Towards a Perspectivist Turn in Argument Quality Assessment (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument quality is a key aspect of computational argumentation (CA), but it still exhibits a high degree of subjectivity in perception. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a multi-layered classification to target two aspects of argument quality in a systematic review of NLP datasets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the quality of annotators and their ability to be used in perspectivist research. |
