Determining Relative Argument Specificity and Stance for Complex Argumentative Structures

no code implementations ACL 2019 Esin Durmus, Faisal Ladhak, Claire Cardie

Systems for automatic argument generation and debate require the ability to (1) determine the stance of any claims employed in the argument and (2) assess the specificity of each claim relative to the argument context.

Specificity

The Role of Pragmatic and Discourse Context in Determining Argument Impact

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Esin Durmus, Faisal Ladhak, Claire Cardie

Research in the social sciences and psychology has shown that the persuasiveness of an argument depends not only the language employed, but also on attributes of the source/communicator, the audience, and the appropriateness and strength of the argument's claims given the pragmatic and discourse context of the argument.
