\"SICSA\"Submissions of position statement are invited for the SICSA <\/strong>Workshop on Argument Mining: Perspectives from Information Extraction, Information Retrieval and Computational Linguistics<\/strong>,<\/em> to be held in Dundee, Scotland, 9-10 July 2014.<\/p>\n

Argument mining<\/strong> exploits the techniques and methods of natural language processing, or more specifically \u2013 text and opinion mining, for semi-automatic and automatic recognition and extraction of structured argument data from unstructured natural language texts. Lying at the intersection of sentiment analysis and computational models of argument, it is attracting increasing attention with an ACL workshop on the topic in Baltimore (ArgMining2014<\/a>) and a meeting dedicated to the topic in Warsaw (ArgDiaP2014<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The workshop aims to bridge the gap between argument mining and well-established areas of information extraction (IE), information retrieval (IR) and computational linguistics (CS). The workshop will be opened by the talk given by Prof. Marie-Francine Moens<\/a><\/strong>, Katholieke Universiteit (KU), Leuven, Belgium (SICSA Distinguished Visiting Fellow).<\/p>\n

The first day of the workshop will be arranged around the short presentations from each contributor on argument mining from their own research perspective. The second day will be divided into working sessions during which participants will draft a joint paper<\/strong> on argument mining and its connections to IE, IR and CS. Our aim will be to use the draft as a basis for a submission to a journal.<\/p>\n

In order to participate, attendees are asked to submit an abstract with a short position statement no later than 15 June 2014<\/strong><\/del> 30 June 2014<\/strong> (extended). The event is hosted by the Centre for Argument Technology<\/a>, and is supported by the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
