 abstract = {Research on computational argumentation faces the problem of how to
automatically assess the quality of an argument or argumentation. While
different quality dimensions have been approached in natural language
processing, a common understanding of argumentation quality is still missing.
This paper presents the first holistic work on computational argumentation
quality in natural language. We comprehensively survey the diverse existing
theories and approaches to assess logical, rhetorical, and dialectical quality
dimensions, and we derive a systematic taxonomy from these. In addition, we
provide a corpus with 320 arguments, annotated for all 15 dimensions in the
taxonomy. Our results establish a common ground for research on computational
argumentation quality assessment.},
