CALL FOR SHARED TASK PROPOSALS
We cordially invite submissions of shared tasks as part of ArgMining
2024, the “11th Workshop on Argument Mining”. The workshop will be
co-located with ACL 2024 (to be held in Bangkok, Thailand).
Argument mining (also known as “argumentation mining”) is a gradually
maturing research area within computational linguistics. It involves the
automatic identification of argumentative structures in free text, as
well as argument quality assessment, argument persuasiveness, and the
synthesis of argumentative texts.
To advance research on specific aspects of argument mining, previous
editions of the ArgMining workshop series have promoted shared tasks,
including key point analysis for quantitative summarization of arguments
(see https://2021.argmining.org/), the validity and novelty of arguments
(see https://argmining-org.github.io/2022/), multimodal argument mining
and pragmatic tagging of peer reviews (see
https://argmining-org.github.io/2023).
Following the success of previous workshops, ArgMining 2024 plans to
share one or more unsolved problems to be investigated by the community.
Proposals for shared tasks should include:
* a title and a brief description of the task
* a description of the datasets that will be used in the task and their
readiness, and a proposed plan for data collection and annotation
* previous work on the datasets, including publications (if any)
* a few lines regarding evaluation of the submitted systems
* a brief introduction of the task organizers
Shared task organizers will have the opportunity to publish a task
overview paper in the workshop proceedings.
Please submit your shared task proposal via email to argmining.org [at]
gmail.com. The submission deadline is January 5, 2024, and task
organizers will be notified of proposal acceptance on January 19, 2024.
While exact dates are not yet available, we assume the following
tentative schedule:
* End of February - Training data release
* Mid of April - Test data release, evaluation start
* End of April - Evaluation end
* Mid of May - Results announcement
* End of May - Paper submission due
* End of June - Camera-ready version due
* Mid of August - ArgMining 2024 workshop (ACL)
The timeline will be finalized with the shared task organizers.
