• Title: AQE: Argument Quadruplet Extraction via a Quad-Tagging Augmented Generative Approach
• Authors: Jia Guo, Liying Cheng, Wenxuan Zhang, Stanley Kok, Xin Li, Lidong Bing
• Abstract summary: We propose a challenging argument quadruplet extraction task (AQE) AQE can provide an all-in-one extraction of four argumentative components, i.e., claims, evidence, evidence types, and stances. We propose a novel quad-tagging augmented generative approach, which leverages a quadruplet tagging module to augment the training of the generative framework.

• Abstract: Argument mining involves multiple sub-tasks that automatically identify argumentative elements, such as claim detection, evidence extraction, stance classification, etc. However, each subtask alone is insufficient for a thorough understanding of the argumentative structure and reasoning process. To learn a complete view of an argument essay and capture the interdependence among argumentative components, we need to know what opinions people hold (i.e., claims), why those opinions are valid (i.e., supporting evidence), which source the evidence comes from (i.e., evidence type), and how those claims react to the debating topic (i.e., stance). In this work, we for the first time propose a challenging argument quadruplet extraction task (AQE), which can provide an all-in-one extraction of four argumentative components, i.e., claims, evidence, evidence types, and stances. To support this task, we construct a large-scale and challenging dataset. However, there is no existing method that can solve the argument quadruplet extraction. To fill this gap, we propose a novel quad-tagging augmented generative approach, which leverages a quadruplet tagging module to augment the training of the generative framework. The experimental results on our dataset demonstrate the empirical superiority of our proposed approach over several strong baselines.

  Multi-choice Machine Reading (MRC) is a major and challenging task for machines to answer questions according to provided options. We propose a novel general-purpose model enhancement which integrates multi-grained evidence comprehensively, named Multi-grained evidence inferencer (Mugen) Mugen extracts three different granularities of evidence, and integrates evidence with the original passages, achieving significant and consistent performance improvement on four multi-choice MRC benchmarks.

Near 70k sentences in the dataset are fully annotated based on their argument properties. We propose two new integrated argument mining tasks associated with the debate preparation process: (1) claim extraction with stance classification (CESC) and (2) claim-evidence pair extraction (CEPE)

  We introduce the Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction (ASQP) task, aiming to jointly detect all sentiment elements in quads for a given opinionated sentence. We propose a novel textscParaphrase modeling paradigm to cast the ASQP task to a paraphrase generation process. On the other hand, the semantics of the sentiment elements can be fully exploited by learning to generate them in the natural language form.

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.
