  3. Proposi*on Extrac*on Argumenta*ve Discourse Unit (ADU) Segmenta*on • Original text is segmented into ADUs • Argumentative structure as relations between the ADUs Prior Work • Definitions of ADU boundaries 
 Stab and Gurevych, 2014; Stede et al., 2016; Peldszus and Stede, 2015; Al-Khatib et al., 2016 • Methods for auto-segmentation

  4. Limita*ons of Segmenta*on-based ADUs • ADUs may lack important semantic information ▶ Referents of anaphors (A) She (Alice) complained to me (Bob) . (B) Bob is upset. ▶ Subject of a phrase (A) Alice knows Bob well but (B) kept the secret. (C) Bob should appreciate that.

  5. Limita*ons of Segmenta*on-based ADUs • ADUs may completely miss implicit propositions ▶ Reported speech (A) The doctor said we need more magnesium. ▶ Questions (A) Why would you spend your valuable money on tax? (B) Tax is a waste for nothing. ▶ Imperatives (A) Don't spend your valuable money on tax. (B) Tax is a waste for nothing.

  6. • What NLP challenges are there to obtain complete propositions ? • Can we get semantically improved propositions using standard NLP techniques? A Cascade Model for Proposition Extraction in Argumentation Yohan Jo (yohanj@cs.cmu.edu) ! 6

  7. Data • 2016 U.S. presidential debates (Visser et al., 2019) ▶ Inference Anchoring Theory (Reed and Budzynska, 2011 ) ▶ 8,008 locutions (278 reported speech, 565 questions) ▶ Cohen's kappa: 0.610 (1) Segment utterance (3) Annotate propositions into locutions (ADUs) (2) Identify illocutionary acts instantiated by the locutions A Cascade Model for Proposition Extraction in Argumentation Yohan Jo (yohanj@cs.cmu.edu) ! 7
