Meeting Description:

Argument mining (also known as ''argumentation mining'') is a growing research
area within computational linguistics. At its heart, argument mining involves
the automatic identification of argumentative structures in free text, such as
the conclusions, premises, and inference schemes of arguments, as well as
their pro- and con-relations. To date, researchers have investigated argument
mining on many genres, such as legal documents, product reviews, news
articles, online debates, Wikipedia articles, essays, academic literature,
tweets, and dialogues. In addition, argument quality assessment and generation
are also important problems. Argument mining gives rise to various practical
applications of great importance. In particular, it provides methods that can
find and visualize the main pro and con arguments in written text and dialogue
and that enable argument search on the web for a topic of interest. In
educational contexts, argument mining can be applied to written and diagrammed
arguments for instructing and assessing students' critical thinking. In
information retrieval, argument mining is expected to play a salient role in
the emerging field of conversational search.

2nd Call for Papers:

IMPORTANT DATES
- Submission due: July 11, 2022
- Notification of acceptance: August 22, 2021
- Camera-ready papers due: September 5, 2022
- Workshop: TBD: COLING 2022 October 12-17, 2022
All deadlines are 11.59 pm UTC -12h (“anywhere on Earth”).

ArgMining 2022 invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial,
original, and unpublished research in all aspects of argument mining. The
workshop solicits LONG and SHORT papers for oral and poster presentations, as
well as DEMOS of argument/argumentation mining systems and tools.

The topics for submissions include but are not limited to:

- Automatic identification of argument components (premises and conclusions or
more fine-grained), and relations between arguments and counterarguments
(support and attack or more fine-grained) within/across documents
- Automatic assessment of properties of arguments and argumentation, such as
argumentation schemes, stance, quality, and persuasiveness
- Automatic synthesis of arguments and their components, including the
consideration of discourse goals (e.g., stages of a critical discussion or
rhetorical strategies) and the possibly needed preceding analyses
- Creation and evaluation of argument annotation schemes, relationships to
linguistic and discourse annotations, (semi-) automatic argument annotation
methods and tools, and creation of argumentation corpora
- Management of spoken and transcribed dialogue, argument mining from such
data, including additional challenges posed by real-time processing
- Combination of NLP methods and AI models developed for argumentation, such
as abstract and structured argumentation frameworks
- Combination of information retrieval methods with argument mining, e.g. in
order to build the next generation of argumentative (web) search engines
- Use of argument mining for studying research questions from the social
sciences, digital humanities, and related fields
- Reflection on the ethical aspects and societal impact of argument mining
methods
Special theme: Argument Mining in Real-World Applications
Commonly explored real-world applications include argument web search, opinion
analysis in customer reviews, argument analysis in meetings, scientific
writing. In addition to such well known applications, we are particularly
interested in cross-disciplinary use-cases targeting domains such education,
political and social science, and the legal domain.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Three types of papers can be submitted: Long papers (8 pages + references),
short papers (4 pages + references), and demo papers (4 pages + references).
Demo papers must include a URL to a running demo. Accepted papers will be
given an additional page to account for the reviewers' comments. All papers
will be treated equally in the workshop proceedings. The workshop follows
ACL’s policies for submission, review, and citation. Moreover, authors are
expected to adhere to the ethical code set out in the ACL Code of Ethics.
Submissions that violate any of the policies will be rejected without review.
Please use the COLING 2022 style sheets for formatting your paper:
https://coling2022.org/

Submission URL (softconf): https://www.softconf.com/coling2022/AM_2022

The workshop is running a double-blind review process. In preparing your
manuscript, do not include any information which could reveal your identity,
or that of your co-authors. The title section of your manuscript should not
contain any author names, email addresses, or affiliation status. If you do
include any author names on the title page, your submission will be
automatically rejected. In the body of your submission, you should eliminate
all direct references to your own previous work. That is, avoid phrases such
as ''this contribution generalizes our results for XYZ''. Double Submission
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues should indicate
this at submission time. Upon acceptance at either event, the submission must
be withdrawn from the other. To save reviewers' efforts, avoid submitting (or
withdraw early) papers that are on track to be accepted elsewhere.
