Generating Abstract Arguments: A Natural Language Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many argumentation tools have been proposed nowadays to support the users in on-line social discussions. However, the main drawback of these tools is that they do not cope with the automatic generation of the arguments from the natural language discussions of the users. In this paper, we propose to use a technique from computational linguistics, namely textual entailment, to generate in an automatic way the abstract arguments from the dialogues. The abstract arguments as well as their relationships are then structured in an argumentation graph to evaluate the dialogue as a whole. The success criteria of the proposed approach is that it is able to represent the dynamics of the dialogues among users allowing to find the use of argumentation natural enough to be really adopted.

The Role of Saliency in Generating Natural Language Arguments
Generating expressions which communicate information already known to the hearer, building enthymematic arguments, and characterising refutations all pose significant problems to traditional natural language generation techniques. After exploring these problems, an approach is proposed which through its employment of a notion of saliency handles them cleanly, and offers support for further feat...
متن کاملGenerating the Structure of Argument
This paper demonstrates that generating arguments in natural language requires planning at an abstract level, and that the appropriate abstraction cannot be captured by approaches based solely upon coherence relations. An abstraction based planning system is presented which employs operators motivated by empirical study and rhetorical maxims. These operators include a subset of traditional dedu...
متن کاملGEA: A Complete, Modular System for Generating Evaluative Arguments
This paper presents a system for generating user tailored evaluative arguments, known as the Generator of Evaluative Arguments (GEA). GEA design is based on a pipelined architecture commonly used in natural language generation. After an overview description of GEA main components, we focus on how GEA performs the microplanning tasks. Details are provided by examining the generation of a sample ...
متن کاملTowards a Benchmark of Natural Language Arguments
The connections among natural language processing and argumentation theory are becoming stronger in the latest years, with a growing amount of works going in this direction, in different scenarios and applying heterogeneous techniques. In this paper, we present two datasets we built to cope with the combination of the Textual Entailment framework and bipolar abstract argumentation. In our appro...
متن کاملGenerating and evaluating evaluative arguments
Evaluative arguments are pervasive in natural human communication. In countless situations people attempt to advise or persuade their interlocutors that something is desirable (vs. undesirable) or right (vs. wrong). With the proliferation of on-line systems serving as personal advisors and assistants, there is a pressing need to develop general and testable computational models for generating a...
