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…

“And what you’re seeing here with the Democrats is, they have…

Why Trump welcomes this government shutdown fight
The president has already gotten everything he wants from the Republican Congress.

Some interesting ideas here. Though I'm still interested in the debate over the effectiveness on de-platforming. Seems like it does work some times but doesn't work others and seems like we need a deeper understanding of the nuance.
