Mining Inter-Document Argument Structures in Scientific Papers for an Argument Web

Authors: Florian Ruosch, Cristina Sarasua, and Abraham Bernstein

Abstract
In Argument Mining, predicting argumentative relations between texts (or spans) remains one of the most challenging aspects, even more so in the cross-document setting. This paper makes three key contributions to advance research in this domain. We first extend an existing dataset, the Sci-Arg corpus, by annotating it with explicit inter-document argumentative relations, thereby allowing arguments to be distributed over several documents forming an Argument Web; these new annotations are published using Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL). Second, we explore and evaluate three automated approaches for predicting these inter-document argumentative relations, establishing critical baselines on the new dataset. We find that a simple classifier based on discourse indicators with access to context outperforms neural methods. Third, we conduct a comparative analysis of these approaches for both intra- and inter-document settings, identifying statistically significant differences in results that indicate the necessity of distinguishing between these two scenarios. Our findings highlight significant challenges in this complex domain and open crucial avenues for future research on the Argument Web of Science, particularly for those interested in leveraging Semantic Web technologies and knowledge graphs to understand scholarly discourse. With this, we provide the first stepping stones in the form of a benchmark dataset, three baseline methods, and an initial analysis for a systematic exploration of this field relevant to the Web of Data and Science.

List Decoding Quotient Reed-Muller Codes

Authors: Omri Gotlib, Tali Kaufman, and Shachar Lovett

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 339, 40th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2025)


Abstract
Reed-Muller codes consist of evaluations of n-variate polynomials over a finite field 𝔽 with degree at most d. Much like every linear code, Reed-Muller codes can be characterized by constraints, where a codeword is valid if and only if it satisfies all degree-d constraints. For a subset X̃ ⊆ 𝔽ⁿ, we introduce the notion of X̃-quotient Reed-Muller code. A function F:X̃ → 𝔽 is a valid codeword in the quotient code if it satisfies all the constraints of degree-d polynomials lying in X̃. This gives rise to a novel phenomenon: a quotient codeword may have many extensions to original codewords. This weakens the connection between original codewords and quotient codewords which introduces a richer range of behaviors along with substantial new challenges. Our goal is to answer the following question: what properties of X̃ will imply that the quotient code inherits its distance and list-decoding radius from the original code? We address this question using techniques developed by Bhowmick and Lovett [Abhishek Bhowmick and Shachar Lovett, 2014], identifying key properties of 𝔽ⁿ used in their proof and extending them to general subsets X̃ ⊆ 𝔽ⁿ. By introducing a new tool, we overcome the novel challenge in analyzing the quotient code that arises from the weak connection between original and quotient codewords. This enables us to apply known results from additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry [David Kazhdan and Tamar Ziegler, 2018; David Kazhdan and Tamar Ziegler, 2019; Amichai Lampert and Tamar Ziegler, 2021] to show that when X̃ is a high rank variety, X̃-quotient Reed-Muller codes inherit the distance and list-decoding parameters from the original Reed-Muller codes.

Polynomials, Divided Differences, and Codes

Authors: S. Venkitesh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)


Abstract
Multiplicity codes (Kopparty et al., J. ACM 2014) are multivariate polynomial codes where the codewords are described by evaluations of polynomials (with a degree bound) and their derivatives up to some order (the multiplicity parameter), on a suitably chosen affine set of points. While efficient decoding algorithms were known in some special cases of point sets, by a reduction to univariate multiplicity codes, a general algorithm for list decoding up to the distance of the code when the point set is an arbitrary finite grid, was obtained only recently (Bhandari et al., IEEE TIT 2023). This required the characteristic of the field to be zero or larger than the degree bound, which is somewhat necessary since list decoding up to distance with small output list size is not possible when the characteristic is significantly smaller than the degree. In this work, we present an alternative construction based on divided differences of polynomials, that conceptually resembles the classical multiplicity codes but has good list decodability "insensitive to the field characteristic". We obtain a simple algorithm that list decodes this code up to distance for arbitrary finite grids over all finite fields. Our construction can also be interpreted as a folded Reed-Muller code, which may be of independent interest.

Toward Semantic Foundations for Program Editors

Authors: Cyrus Omar, Ian Voysey, Michael Hilton, Joshua Sunshine, Claire Le Goues, Jonathan Aldrich, and Matthew A. Hammer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 71, 2nd Summit on Advances in Programming Languages (SNAPL 2017)


Abstract
Programming language definitions assign formal meaning to complete programs. Programmers, however, spend a substantial amount of time interacting with incomplete programs - programs with holes, type inconsistencies and binding inconsistencies - using tools like program editors and live programming environments (which interleave editing and evaluation). Semanticists have done comparatively little to formally characterize (1) the static and dynamic semantics of incomplete programs; (2) the actions available to programmers as they edit and inspect incomplete programs; and (3) the behavior of editor services that suggest likely edit actions to the programmer based on semantic information extracted from the incomplete program being edited, and from programs that the system has encountered in the past. This paper serves as a vision statement for a research program that seeks to develop these "missing" semantic foundations. Our hope is that these contributions, which will take the form of a series of simple formal calculi equipped with a tractable metatheory, will guide the design of a variety of current and future interactive programming tools, much as various lambda calculi have guided modern language designs. Our own research will apply these principles in the design of Hazel, an experimental live lab notebook programming environment designed for data science tasks. We plan to co-design the Hazel language with the editor so that we can explore concepts such as edit-time semantic conflict resolution mechanisms and mechanisms that allow library providers to install library-specific editor services.
