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.

Kernelization in Almost Linear Time for Clustering into Bounded Vertex Cover Components

Authors: Sriram Bhyravarapu, Pritesh Kumar, Madhumita Kundu, Shivesh K. Roy, Sahiba, and Saket Saurabh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)


Abstract
Motivated by the growing interest in graph clustering and the framework proposed during the Dagstuhl Seminar 23331, we consider a natural specialization of this general approach (as also suggested during the seminar). The seminar introduced a broad perspective on clustering, where the goal is to partition a graph into connected components (or "clusters") that satisfy simple structural integrity constraints - not necessarily limited to cliques. In our work, we focus on the case where each cluster is required to have bounded vertex cover number. Specifically, a connected component C satisfies this condition if there exists a set S ⊆ V(C) with |S| ≤ d such that C - S is an independent set. We study this within the framework of the {Vertex Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Vertex Deletion to d-VCC}) problem: given a graph G and an integer k, the task is to determine whether there exists a vertex set S ⊆ V(G) of size at most k such that every connected component of G - S has vertex cover number at most d. We also examine the edge-deletion variant, {Edge Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Edge Deletion to d-VCC}), where the goal is to delete at most k edges so that each connected component of the resulting graph has vertex cover number at most d. We obtain following results. 1) {Vertex Deletion to d-VCC} admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁶k³) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁹k⁴) edges. 2) {Edge Deletion to d-VCC}, admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁴k) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁵k) edges. Both of our kernelization algorithms run in time 𝒪(1.253^d ⋅ (kd)^{𝒪(1)} ⋅ n log n). It is important to note that, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails, the dependence on d cannot be improved to 2^{o(d)}, as the case k = 0 reduces to solving the classical Vertex Cover problem, which is known to require 2^{Ω(d)} time under ETH. A key ingredient in our kernelization algorithms is a structural result about the hereditary graph class 𝒢_d, consisting of graphs in which every connected component has vertex cover number at most d. We show that 𝒢_d admits a finite obstruction set (with respect to the induced subgraph relation) of size 2^{𝒪(d²)}, where each obstruction graph has at most 3d + 2 vertices. This combinatorial result may be of independent interest.

Convergence of iterative aggregation/disaggregation methods based on splittings with cyclic iteration matrices

Authors: Ivo Marek, Ivana Pultarová, and Petr Mayer

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7071, Web Information Retrieval and Linear Algebra Algorithms (2007)


Abstract
Iterative aggregation/disaggregation methods (IAD) belong to competitive tools for computation the characteristics of Markov chains as shown in some publications devoted to testing and comparing various methods designed to this purpose. According to Dayar T., Stewart W.J., ``Comparison of partitioning techniques for two-level iterative solvers on large, sparse Markov chains,'' SIAM J. Sci. Comput., Vol.21, No. 5, 1691-1705 (2000), the IAD methods are effective in particular when applied to large ill posed problems. One of the purposes of this paper is to contribute to a possible explanation of this fact. The novelty may consist of the fact that the IAD algorithms do converge independently of whether the iteration matrix of the corresponding process is primitive or not. Some numerical tests are presented and possible applications mentioned; e.g. computing the PageRank.
