Can LLMs Judge Debates? Evaluating Non-Linear Reasoning via Argumentation Theory Semantics
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at linear reasoning tasks but remain underexplored on non-linear structures such as those found in natural debates, which are best expressed as argument graphs. We evaluate whether LLMs can approximate structured reasoning from Computational Argumentation Theory (CAT). Specifically, we use Quantitative Argumentation Debate (QuAD) semantics, which assigns acceptability scores to arguments based on their attack and support relations. Given only dialogue-formatte…

So I've gotten the call from my doctor. Apparently, they can't prescribe more glucometer strips to me because I'm using too many. And how many am I using? Well, approximately 10 a day, which is the bare minimum according to my diabetologist. And most of them are actually used for meals (small meals are better, right?), not "just in case". Well, they are going to see if they can do anything.
I should probably add that a pack of strips costs 6.40 PLN when refunded, but normally capitalists charge 74.05 PLN. It suffices for 10 days.

this is my favorite thing I've ever overheard of all time btw
