To encourage computational argumentation through critical question generation (CQs-Gen),we propose an ACL 2025 CQs-Gen shared task system to generate critical questions (CQs) with the best effort to counter argumentative text by discovering logical fallacies, unjustified assertions, and implicit assumptions.Our system integrates a quantized language model, semantic similarity analysis, and a meta-evaluation feedback mechanism including the key stages such as data preprocessing, rationale-augmented prompting to induce specificity, diversity filtering for redundancy elimination, enriched meta-evaluation for relevance, and a feedback-reflect-refine loop for iterative refinement. Multi-metric scoring guarantees high-quality CQs. With robust error handling, our pipeline ranked 7th among 15 teams, outperforming baseline fact-checking approaches by enabling critical engagement and successfully detecting argumentative fallacies. This study presents an adaptive, scalable method that advances argument mining and critical discourse analysis.
