Argumentative Zoning
Orchestration Pattern
- Fetch the paper; stop on
not_found.
- Segment the requested scope with sentence granularity and preserve
{line, start, end} offsets. Write 01-unit-segmentation.json.
- Classify every unit with
label_set: argumentative-zoning,
hierarchy_toggle: false, and output_type: single_label. Write
02-unit-classification.json.
Use exactly AIM, BACKGROUND, OWN, CONTRAST, BASIS, TEXTUAL, and OTHER. Every
sentence receives one label; use OTHER rather than skipping an uncertain
unit. Narrow scopes are valid but not distributionally comparable to a
full-text run.
Report scope, sentence count, zone counts, empty zones, and both paths.
