Assisted Debate Builder with Large Language Models

Abstract: We introduce ADBL2, an assisted debate builder tool. It is based on the capability of LLMs to generalise and perform relation-based argument mining in a wide-variety of domains. It is the first open-source tool that leverages relation-based mining for (1) the verification of pre-established relations in a debate and (2) the assisted creation of new arguments by means of LLMs. ADBL2 is highly modular and can work with any open-source LLMs that are used as plugins. As a by-product, we also provide the first fine-tuned Mistral-7B LLM for relation-based argument mining, usable by ADBL2, which outperforms existing approaches for this task with an overall F1-score of 90.59% across all domains.
