• Title: Towards an Argument Mining Pipeline Transforming Texts to Argument Graphs
• Abstract summary: We present an argument mining pipeline as a universally applicable approach for transforming German and English language texts to graph-based argument representations. Our results show that the generated argument graphs can be beneficial to detect new connections between different statements of an argumentative text.

• Abstract: This paper targets the automated extraction of components of argumentative information and their relations from natural language text. Moreover, we address a current lack of systems to provide complete argumentative structure from arbitrary natural language text for general usage. We present an argument mining pipeline as a universally applicable approach for transforming German and English language texts to graph-based argument representations. We also introduce new methods for evaluating the results based on existing benchmark argument structures. Our results show that the generated argument graphs can be beneficial to detect new connections between different statements of an argumentative text. Our pipeline implementation is publicly available on GitHub.

  We present an end-to-end large language model (LLM)-based system for reconstructing arguments from natural language text into abstract argument graphs.<n>The system follows a multi-stage pipeline that progressively identifies argumentative components, selects relevant elements, and uncovers their logical relations.<n>Results show that the system can adequately recover argumentative structures and, when adapted to different annotation schemes, achieve reasonable performance across benchmark datasets.

• Understanding Enthymemes in Argument Maps: Bridging Argument Mining and Logic-based Argumentation [11.633929083694388]
  In this paper, we assume that an argument map contains the premises and claims of arguments, and support and attack relationships between them. To understand and to automatically analyse that argument map, it would be desirable to instantiate that argument map with logical arguments. We address this need by using classical logic for representing the explicit information in the text, and using default logic for representing the implicit information in the text.

  We train a language model for argument generation that can be controlled on a fine-grained level to generate sentence-level arguments for a given topic, stance, and aspect. Our evaluation shows that our generation model is able to generate high-quality, aspect-specific arguments. These arguments can be used to improve the performance of stance detection models via data augmentation and to generate counter-arguments.
