大模型重塑论点挖掘,从分类器到推理式智能系统。
Large Language Models in Argument Mining: A Survey
- 用提示工程与思维链让任务边界模糊化
- 构建多层语料库并引入大模型标注新范式
- 适合研究大模型在文本推理与论证分析的应用
大语言模型(LLMs)从根本上改变了论点挖掘(AM)的研究范式,将传统依赖监督学习、任务专用分类器的流水线方法,转变为以提示驱动、检索增强和推理导向为主的多样化路径。现有综述大多在这一转变之前完成,未能厘清大模型如何改变任务设定、数据集设计、评估方法及计算论证的理论基础。本文首次系统梳理了大模型时代的论点挖掘研究,重新审视了典型子任务:主张与证据识别、关系预测、立场分类、论点质量评估和论证摘要生成,揭示提示、思维链推理与上下文学习如何模糊传统任务界限。我们整理了资源的快速演进,包括集成多层语料库和大模型辅助标注流程,带来新机遇也伴随偏见与评估循环风险。基于此,我们归纳出大模型驱动的论点挖掘系统的新兴架构模式,并整合了从组件准确率、软标签质量评估到大模型裁判可靠性等多元评估实践。最后,我们指出长期挑战,如长上下文推理、多模态与多语言鲁棒性、可解释性及低成本部署,并提出面向未来的大模型驱动计算论证研究议程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models (LLMs) have fundamentally reshaped Argument Mining (AM), shifting it from a pipeline of supervised, task-specific classifiers to a spectrum of prompt-driven, retrieval-augmented, and reasoning-oriented paradigms. Yet existing surveys largely predate this transition, leaving unclear how LLMs alter task formulations, dataset design, evaluation methodology, and the theoretical foundations of computational argumentation. In this survey, we synthesise research and provide the first unified account of AM in the LLM era. We revisit canonical AM subtasks, i.e., claim and evidence detection, relation prediction, stance classification, argument quality assessment, and argumentative summarisation, and show how prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, and in-context learning blur traditional task boundaries. We catalogue the rapid evolution of resources, including integrated multi-layer corpora and LLM-assisted annotation pipelines that introduce new opportunities as well as risks of bias and evaluation circularity. Building on this mapping, we identify emerging architectural patterns across LLM-based AM systems and consolidate evaluation practices spanning component-level accuracy, soft-label quality assessment, and LLM-judge reliability. Finally, we outline persistent challenges, including long-context reasoning, multimodal and multilingual robustness, interpretability, and cost-efficient deployment, and propose a forward-looking research agenda for LLM-driven computational argumentation.
