ACL2019 tutorial on Advances in Argument Mining

Posted by chris on May 17, 2019

Following our work delivering tutorials at IJCAI2016, ACL2016 and ESSLLI2017, Chris Reed and Katarzyna Budzynska are this year delivering a tutorial at ACL2019 in Florence on Sunday, 28 July.

We will be focusing on argument mining, and given that it is such a fast moving area, the way in which the field has been shaped by advances over the past three years.

The tutorial has its own dedicated website at arg.tech/acl2019tut

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the tutors — and we hope to see you in Florence in August.
