Automatic Argument Quality Assessment - New Datasets and Methods (D19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: 6.3k arguments were collected from contributors of various levels, and are released as part of this work.
Approach: They propose to use a language model to annotate arguments for argument ranking and argument-pair classification.
Outcome: The proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art methods in the argument ranking task and argument-pair classification task.
