“…Approaches to argument generation have included traditional NLG architectures (Zukerman et al, 1998;Carenini and Moore, 2006); assembling arguments from given, smaller argumentative units (Walton and Gordon, 2012;Reisert et al, 2015;Wachsmuth et al, 2018;El Baff et al, 2019); welding the topic of the debate to appropriate predicates (Bilu and Slonim, 2016); and using predefined argument templates . Of particular interest is the generation of counter arguments, for which solutions include an encoderdecoder architecture (Hidey and McKeown, 2019), which may be augmented by a retrieval system (Hua et al, 2019;Hua and Wang, 2018), or alternatively offering "general purpose" rebuttal based on similarity to predefined claims (Orbach et al, 2019).…”
