CS PhD Students Mohamed Elaraby, Zheixong Liu, and Yang Zhong, and CS Professor Diane Litman are organizing ImageArg Shared Task in the 10th ArgMining Workshop, co-located with the 2023 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP2023).
The ImageArg Shared Task is the first shared task in multimodal argument mining, which is a significant step towards advancing multimodal persuasiveness analysis and opens up avenues for exploring the persuasive impact of images in social media. This shared task addresses two research questions: 1) Argument Stance: does the tweet have an argumentative stance? 2) Image Persuasiveness: does the tweet image make the tweet text more persuasive?
Participants are encouraged to submit system description papers for the shared task. Accepted papers will be published in the proceeding of the 10th ArgMining Workshop.
