Working on the argument pipeline: Through flow issues between natural language argument, instantiated arguments, and argumentation frameworks

Abstract: In many domains of public discourse such as arguments about public policy, there is an abundance of knowledge to store, query, and reason with. To use this knowledge, we must address two key general problems: first, the problem of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck between forms in which the knowledge is usually expressed, e.g., natural language, and forms which can be automatically processed; second, reasoning with the uncertainties and inconsistencies of the knowledge. Given such complexities, it is labour… Show more

“…It has been claimed that for reconstructing and evaluating natural language arguments, one has to fully 'roll out' their implicit premises (van Eemeren et al, 2014, Chap. 3.2) and leverage knowledge bases (Wyner et al, 2016). We believe that a system that can distinguish between the wrong and the right warrant given its context will be helpful in filtering out good candidates in argument reconstruction.…”

“…Summarizing, in this work, which develops from [32,96,103,107], we motivate and present a novel argumentation inspired semantics of theories consisting of defeasible rules which avoids some of the semantic limitations and computational pitfalls of alternative argumentation based accounts. Moreover, we report on initial progress to tie our formal model of argumentation to a controlled natural language allowing for expression of potentially incomplete and/or inconsistent information.…”

“…It is worth noticing that in the case of social networks where discussions tend to have more lengthy texts (like for example Reddit), we could consider the use of argumentation frameworks that use more structured arguments, like DeLP [29] or its more recent extension: the weighted argumentation framework RP-DeLP [1], that adds several defeasibility levels in the propositional logic knowledge base and it is based on a recursive ideal semantics. To transform the natural language texts to structured propositional logic knowledge bases, we could consider for example the recent approach followed in [52] to transform English natural language sentences to propositional logic sentences. However, with respect to Twitter, as we have commented above, the usually short length of tweets makes the extraction of more complex structures from single tweets unfeasible, so in the particular case of Twitter the approach of considering tweets as atomic arguments seems the most natural.…”
