Challenge: Existing research explores different text features of reply comments on word level and ignores interactions between participants.
Approach: They propose a co-attention mechanism based neural network to capture interactions between participants on argument level to better model dialogical argumentation.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods on a publicly available dataset showing that it extracts interactive argument pairs from the original post and the reply.

AMPERSAND: Argument Mining for PERSuAsive oNline Discussions (D19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Argument mining is a field of corpus-based discourse analysis that involves the automatic identification of argumentative structures in text.
Approach: They propose a computational model for argument mining in online persuasive discussion forums that brings together the micro-level (argument as product) and macro-level models of argumentation.
Outcome: The proposed model improves on existing models using pointer networks and a pre-trained language model.
Exploring the Role of Argument Structure in Online Debate Persuasion (2020.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work in NLP has shown that linguistic features extracted from debate text and features encoding the characteristics of the audience are both critical in persuasion studies.
Approach: They propose to incorporate argument structure features into an LSTM-based model to assess the persuasiveness of debates.
Outcome: The proposed model incorporates argument structure features to predict debaters that make the most convincing arguments on online debate forums.
Give Me More Feedback: Annotating Argument Persuasiveness and Related Attributes in Student Essays (P18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing work on automated essay scoring has focused on holistic scoring, which summarizes the quality of an essay with a single score.
Approach: They present a corpus of essays simultaneously annotated with argument components, argument persuasiveness scores, and attributes of argument components that impact an argument’s persuasiveness.
Outcome: The proposed corpus could trigger the development of novel computational models that provide useful feedback to students on why their arguments are (un)persuasive .

Challenge: Existing studies on user interest in dialogue systems depend on explicit user feedback.
Approach: They propose a model to implicitly estimate user interest during argumentative dialogues based on semantically clustered data.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves a classification accuracy of 74.9% and tested with different Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which new argument would fit the user interest best.
