Back from the 5th European Conference on Argumentation with lots of interesting talks and insightful discussions. John, Zlata, and I presented our recent work on the analysis of argumentation schemes in dialogue, extending the results from our recent ACL paper. aclanthology.org/2025.acl-lon...

I think all the late reviewers made OpenReview so sad, so it decided to better crash completely 😢

I am very happy to share that the paper I have been working on with Haorui and Qiufeng about the use of multimodal LLMs to help us interpret art from different cultural perspectives has been accepted at the findings of the EMNLP 2025 🎉 🎊

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past. Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

Vienna 👋🏽

It's a wrap. Thanks to all participants, speakers, panelists, presenters, shared task organizers, reviewers, our sponsors and all who contributed to the 12th argument mining workshop. See you in the next version of the workshop. #argmining2025

The panel on "Broadening the scope of argument mining" is taking place at #argmining2025

Still at #ACL2025? Come to hall B for the Argument Mining workshop! @argminingorg.bsky.social One invited talk, one panel with four great interdisciplinary speakers, two shared tasks, tons of talks and posters, just in one day!

❗ 📣 Only one week to go until ACL 2025 in Vienna, where I will be presenting four different papers together with my colleagues from ARG-tech. Feel free to come by to chat or ask any questions, we will be very happy to present our latest work and exchange ideas with you!

❗💬 Our paper "Mining Complex Patterns of Argumentative Reasoning in Natural Language Dialogue" will be presented in Session 9 at ACL 2025. We address an important gap in the argument mining literature: extracting complex structures of reasoning beyond support/attack relations.

We are looking forward to presenting our new open tool for argument mining at the ACL this summer!

Very happy to share that our paper accepted at the @aclmeeting.bsky.social 2025 "Mining Complex Patterns of Argumentative Reasoning in Natural Language Dialogue" has been selected for an oral session 🎉. More details about the date and time soon!

We were delighted to host the @snsf.ch meeting in Dundee this week! Chris, Somaye, and @raruidol.bsky.social‬ welcomed colleagues from @usi.ch‬ in Lugano — Andrea Rocci, @jooleahd.bsky.social‬, and Costanza Lucchini — as well as Rudi Palmieri from @liverpooluni.bsky.social‬.

🎉 More good news to share! We’ll be presenting the Open Argument Mining Framework (oAMF) at the ACL 2025 demo session.

Very nice and refreshing to meet again with my colleagues at the UPV back in Valencia

📢 Very happy to share that two papers I've been working on recently have been accepted to the ACL 2025 conference. I'm looking forward to meeting you this summer in Vienna! #ACL2025 #ArgumentMining #NLP #Reasoning

This month EDGE’s cover is amazing 😍

Yep, Yann ridiculed me and then copied me without attribution. Total jerk.

📢 We are very happy to share that the Centre for Argument Technology has 6 papers and 1 poster accepted to the 5th European Conference on Argumentation (ECA) ecargument.org Looking forward to meeting you in Warsaw 🇵🇱

It's been a long time since I've done an annual thread of completed video games. So here goes 2025! 🎮

On my way to the USI Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano to give a talk tomorrow about natural language reasoning and LLMs and meet with my colleague Fabio Crestani after a long time. Looking forward to it! www.inf.usi.ch/it/feeds/110...

In our recent work we explore a new approach to automatic misinformation identification based on argumentation theory. Killing two birds wirh one stone, our framework makes the system explainable as well as helpful for developing users’ critical thinking skills. arxiv.org/abs/2503.14626

📢 New Paper Announcement I’m very happy to share that my work has been published in the AAMAS Journal. In this paper we provide an accessible overview of computational argumentation research by drawing similarities with the human argumentation process. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Happy to announce that the 12th Argument mining workshop will host two shared tasks: 1- Critical Questions Generation Shared Task 2- MM-ArgFallacy2025: Multimodal Argumentative Fallacy Detection and Classification on Political Debates For more details see: argmining-org.github.io/2025/index.h...
