Discourse-Aware Policy Analysis with Argumentation: A Hybrid LLM-Symbolic Framework for Disaster Governance

arXiv cs.AI · 18 hours ago

Researchers developed Apaf, a hybrid system combining large language models with symbolic reasoning to analyze policy documents by extracting arguments and mapping their relationships. The dataset includes 100 policy sub-documents from four countries, with argument extraction achieving accuracy levels that domain experts could verify and contest. The system enables computational analysis of how policy arguments interact through frame-mediated relations rather than simple agreement or rejection.
