Dataset

Please check the ICNALE-AS2R page for downloading the corpus.

Data preparation

• data/ folder contains the file structure to prepare the dataset
• data/dataset/ folder contains the ICNALE dataset that has been annotated with argumentative structure and sentence reordering (see the download link above).
• data/dataset-SBERT/ shows the folder organisation when preprocessing the data, i.e., converting sentences into vector forms using SBERT encoder.

System

• Check the docker/ folder to replicate our environment.
• The parsing process is divided into two stages: (1) sentence linking and (2) relation labelling. sentence linking/ and rel labelling/ folders contain the corresponding scripts.
• Please refer to our paper for the experimental details.
