Goals

What are we here for?

  • To understand better the specific kinds of

tasks that NLP can carry out in argumentation.

20

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Goals

Interdisciplinarity

  • To build more connections between the

research communities in NLP who work on argumentation and those in AI and formal argumentation theory.

21

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Goals

Domain-specificity

  • To understand better how computational

argumentation tasks are tied, or not, to their specific domains …

… such as scientific papers, legal argumentation, political discussions, and mathematical proofs (qua arguments) …

… looking for new cross-domain generalizat- ions.

22

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Goals

Domain-specificity

  • To establish a set of domain-specific and

cross-domain use-cases that will guide the direction of research in the field.

23

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Goals

Understand the challenges

  • To understand better the technical challenges

to success in each of these tasks, and to discuss how the challenges can be addressed.

  • To develop and explicate specific challenge

problems for the integration of argumentation theory and NLP …

… that are beyond the state of the art (but not too much so), and in which success would have the greatest effect on the field.

24

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Goals

Start to solve the problems

  • To propose preliminary solutions to open

challenges in textual argumentation …

… including: argument retrieval in text, argument summarization, identification of semantic relations among arguments, …

… and to outline follow-on development.
