Today we are launching a shared task for Critical Questions Generation. The validation data will be made public on the 21st of February, and participants will have until the 4th of April to send their solutions.

Are humans able to assess if an argument is valid? Can LLMs help them raise the appropriate critical questions to assess its validity?

🤖 Let's use AI to make us more critical!

It will be hosted at The 12th Workshop on Argument Mining, co-located in ACL 2025 in Vienna, Austria ✈️

“We’ve closed all the arts and humanities departments, but those depts are low cost and actually run operational surplus on tuition fee income alone. We now have to close other more expensive depts. The ones cross-subsidized by the arts, humanities and social science depts we’ve now closed”
