Embedding Models for Stance-Aware Argument Retrieval

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.

Do General NLP Embeddings Capture Ontological Reasoning?

The paper introduces AVA, a framework that tests whether general NLP embeddings can differentiate logic-sensitive relational semantics in ontologies and knowledge graphs. AVA uses 171,007 contrastive triplets from 163 ontologies, each containing an ontology statement, a paraphrase, and a hard negative with contradictory meaning. Evaluation of over 25 embedding models shows significant limitations, with the best model achieving only 0.739 triplet accuracy and 0.135 for hard negatives; fine‑tuning helps but does not transfer well to downstream Semantic Web tasks.
