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.

The paper presents a neuro‑symbolic approach for selecting the correct omitted component in enthymemes, extending prior work from missing‑premise to missing‑claim selection. It replaces binary entailment with logical‑resistance scores and introduces the Possible‑World Atom‑Link Formalization (PWAL), which marginalizes over alternative semantic‑link configurations while keeping translated formulae fixed. Experiments on five tasks show that PWAL improves strict accuracy by up to 30.86 percentage points and reduces tie rates significantly, while also providing a transparent trace of each comparison.
