arXiv:2606. 15646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but their lack of interpretable reasoning and tendency to hallucinate pose significant challenges for legal applications.
The paper investigates how dense embedding models can be used for stance-aware argument retrieval, a task that requires both topic relevance and correct stance (support or attack) toward a claim. Experiments reveal that current models favor topical overlap and ignore stance, and that contrastive training to fix this bias leads to over-correction, where models focus too much on polarity keywords at the expense of topic relevance. To address this, the authors propose diagnostic word-ablation metrics and a data‑centric solution involving a balanced argument curriculum and LLM‑augmented stance‑inverted arguments, which helps powerful models learn deeper directional logic and improves stance‑aware retrieval performance.

The paper tackles the challenge of reconstructing argument graphs from natural language by addressing enthymemes—arguments with implicit premises. It proposes a neuro‑symbolic pipeline that employs large language models to generate intermediate implicit premises, translates them into logical formulas, and combines them with explicit premises and claims to determine entailment, contradiction, or neutrality. The method is evaluated on the Microtext Argumentative Corpus.
