Active Learning for Argument Strength Estimation
High-quality arguments are an essential part of decision-making. Automatically predicting the quality of an argument is a complex task that recently got much attention in argument mining. However, the annotation effort for this task is exceptionally high. Therefore, we test uncertainty-based active learning (AL) methods on two popular argument-strength data sets to estimate whether sample-efficient learning can be enabled. Our extensive empirical evaluation shows that uncertainty-based acquisition functions can not surpass the accuracy reached with the random acquisition on these data sets.

Towards a Holistic View on Argument Quality Prediction
Argumentation is one of society's foundational pillars, and, sparked by advances in NLP and the vast availability of text data, automated mining of arguments receives increasing attention. A decisive property of argument…
Argument MiningPredictionIntrinsic Argument Strength in Structured Argumentation: a Principled Approach
Abstract argumentation provides us with methods such as gradual and Dung semantics with which to evaluate arguments after potential attacks by other arguments. Some of these methods can take intrinsic strengths of argume…
Abstract ArgumentationSAD: A Large-Scale Strategic Argumentative Dialogue Dataset
Argumentation generation has attracted substantial research interest due to its central role in human reasoning and decision-making. However, most existing argumentative corpora focus on non-interactive, single-turn sett…
Change in Quantitative Bipolar Argumentation: Sufficient, Necessary, and Counterfactual Explanations
This paper presents a formal approach to explaining change of inference in Quantitative Bipolar Argumentation Frameworks (QBAFs). When drawing conclusions from a QBAF and updating the QBAF to then again draw conclusions …
A Tutorial for Weighted Bipolar Argumentation with Continuous Dynamical Systems and the Java Library Attractor
Weighted bipolar argumentation frameworks allow modeling decision problems and online discussions by defining arguments and their relationships. The strength of arguments can be computed based on an initial weight and th…
