Decompositional Argument Mining: A General Purpose Approach for Argument Graph Construction (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument mining is the process of identifying argumentative structure contained within a text. |
| Approach: | They propose to decompose propositions into four functional components and identify the patterns linking those components to determine argument structure. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is generic in that it is not tuned for a specific corpus and achieved an F score of 0.79, 0.77 and 0.64 respectively. |
