The AI So-Go-Chi Center (Center for Convergence Knowledge Informatics) has welcomed three internship students from KMITL, Thailand, to participate in research activities on Assumption-based Argumentation Mining under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Teeradaj Racharak.

During their internship, the students will take part in research exchange activities related to argument mining, with a particular focus on assumption-based argumentation and contrary mining in hotel reviews. Through this opportunity, they will engage in research discussions and collaborative activities that contribute to the development of structured argumentation analysis in natural language processing.

This research direction has been introduced in the following papers:

• Teeradaj Racharak, Watanee Jearanaiwongkul, Jiraporn Pooksook, and Kazuki Takashima, “Towards Assumption-based Argumentation Mining in Hotel Reviews,” in Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR), Taiyuan, China, June 14–16, 2025.
• Watanee Jearanaiwongkul, Teeradaj Racharak, and Jiraporn Pooksook, “Find a Contrary in Hotel Reviews Booking.com: A Corpus Creation for Contrary Mining Task of Assumption-based Argument Mining,” in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (DS&AI 2025), Sri Lanka, November 19–21, 2025.

Their participation is expected to further promote international academic collaboration and research exchange between Japan and Thailand.
