A Note on Argumentative Topology: Circularity and Syllogisms as Unsolved Problems
In the last couple of years there were a few attempts to apply topological data analysis to text, and in particular to natural language inference. A recent work by Tymochko et al. suggests the possibility of capturing the notion of logical shape in text,' using topological delay embeddings,' a technique derived from dynamical systems, applied to word embeddings. In this note we reconstruct their argument and show, using several old and new examples, that the problem of connecting logic, topology and text is still very much unsolved. We conclude that there is no clear answer to the question: ``Can we find a circle in a circular argument?'' We point out some possible avenues of exploration. The code used in our experiment is also shown.

Categorical Syllogisms Revisited: A Review of the Logical Reasoning Abilities of LLMs for Analyzing Categorical Syllogism
There have been a huge number of benchmarks proposed to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) behave for logic inference tasks. However, it remains an open question how to properly evaluate this ability. In this pape…
Logical ReasoningA Computational-Hermeneutic Approach for Conceptual Explicitation
We present a computer-supported approach for the logical analysis and conceptual explicitation of argumentative discourse. Computational hermeneutics harnesses recent progresses in automated reasoning for higher-order lo…
Explainable Topic-Enhanced Argument Mining from Heterogeneous Sources
Given a controversial target such as ``nuclear energy'', argument mining aims to identify the argumentative text from heterogeneous sources. Current approaches focus on exploring better ways of integrating the target-ass…

Exploring Reasoning Biases in Large Language Models Through Syllogism: Insights from the NeuBAROCO Dataset
This paper explores the question of how accurately current large language models can perform logical reasoning in natural language, with an emphasis on whether these models exhibit reasoning biases similar to humans. Spe…
