Abstract
United Nations and UNESCO resolutions encode complex collective reasoning through highly structured preambles and operative clauses. Reconstructing this implicit argumentative structure is a challenging natural language processing task. This paper describes our submission to the UZH Shared Task at the ArgMining Workshop 2026. Adhering to the strict constraint of using open-weight models with at most 8B parameters, we propose a highly efficient, modular pipeline built entirely upon the Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct architecture. To address Subtask 1, we decouple the problem, employing a 4-bit quantized LoRA adapter via the Unsloth framework for paragraph type classification and a type-informed chain-of-thought approach for thematic tagging and relation prediction.- Anthology ID:
