21-24 May 2014, Warsaw, Poland
Submissions are invited for the 12th ArgDiaP conference “From Real Data to Argument Mining” to be held in Warsaw, Poland.
The 12th ArgDiaP conference is dedicated to argument mining. We will discuss techniques and methods for analyzing real data in natural arguments which will ultimately help us to automatically recognize and extract argumentative structures. The confirmed invited speakers are:
- Prof. Fabio Paglieri (Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie della Cognizione — CNR, Rome, Italy)
- Prof. Andrea Rocci (Istituto di Argumentazione, Linguistica e Semiotica, Universita della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Switzerland)
- Prof. Patrick Saint-Dizier (Institut de Recherches en Informatique de Toulouse — CNRS, France).
Associated with the conference is the 2nd edition of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School on Argumentation and Rhetoric, IGSAR. Students will participate in two days of introductory tutorials (21-22 May) and in the ArgDiaP conference (23-24 May). Thanks to the financial support offered by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, students may apply for grants to cover a registration fee to participate in four days of IGSAR (accommodation and travel have to be covered by a participant).
Abstracts of papers should be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair no later than 7 April 2014 (see below for more details). Notification of acceptance will be sent by 28 April 2014.
Both events take place in Warsaw at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and are supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
