• Abstract summary: LESA aims at advancing headfirst into expunging the former issue by assembling a source-independent generalized model. We resolve the latter issue by annotating a Twitter dataset which aims at providing a testing ground on a large unstructured dataset. Experimental results show that LESA improves upon the state-of-the-art performance across six benchmark claim datasets.

• Abstract: The conceptualization of a claim lies at the core of argument mining. The segregation of claims is complex, owing to the divergence in textual syntax and context across different distributions. Another pressing issue is the unavailability of labeled unstructured text for experimentation. In this paper, we propose LESA, a framework which aims at advancing headfirst into expunging the former issue by assembling a source-independent generalized model that captures syntactic features through part-of-speech and dependency embeddings, as well as contextual features through a fine-tuned language model. We resolve the latter issue by annotating a Twitter dataset which aims at providing a testing ground on a large unstructured dataset. Experimental results show that LESA improves upon the state-of-the-art performance across six benchmark claim datasets by an average of 3 claim-F1 points for in-domain experiments and by 2 claim-F1 points for general-domain experiments. On our dataset too, LESA outperforms existing baselines by 1 claim-F1 point on the in-domain experiments and 2 claim-F1 points on the general-domain experiments. We also release comprehensive data annotation guidelines compiled during the annotation phase (which was missing in the current literature).

  Large language models (LLMs) excel in abstractive summarization tasks, delivering fluent and pertinent summaries. Recent advancements have extended their capabilities to handle long-input contexts, exceeding 100k tokens. We conduct the first comprehensive study on context utilization and position bias in summarization.

  We introduce a Structural Causal Model (SCM) to induce the underlying causal structure of the summarization data. We propose a Causality Inspired Sequence-to-Sequence model (CI-Seq2Seq) to learn the causal representations that can mimic the causal factors. Experimental results on two widely used text summarization datasets demonstrate the advantages of our approach.

  We propose WiCE, a new fine-grained textual entailment dataset built on natural claim and evidence pairs extracted from Wikipedia. In addition to standard claim-level entailment, WiCE provides entailment judgments over sub-sentence units of the claim. We show that real claims in our dataset involve challenging verification and retrieval problems that existing models fail to address.

  Document-level natural language inference (DOCNLI) is a new challenging task in natural language processing. We establish a general solution, named Retrieval, Reading and Fusion (R2F) framework, and a new setting. Our experimental results show that R2F framework can obtain state-of-the-art performance and is robust for diverse evidence retrieval methods.

  A UNMT model is trained on the pseudo parallel data with translated source, and natural source sentences in inference. The source discrepancy between training and inference hinders the translation performance of UNMT models. We propose an online self-training approach, which simultaneously uses the pseudo parallel data natural source, translated target to mimic the inference scenario.

Results highlight key challenges that existing summarization models face in this setting, such as proper pronoun handling of quoted sources and consistent explanation of time-sensitive events.

  Contextualized embeddings use unsupervised language model pretraining to compute word representations depending on their context.

We show that they are particularly beneficial for unseen mentions detection, especially out-of-domain.
