Title: Connecting Claims, Images, and Facts

Abstract: Is the trust in science eroding? Given a question whose answers are controversial, the task of argument retrieval is to find arguments that reflect the associated points of view. Next to “classical” argument retrieval, that presents textual arguments, I have been working in the last years on retrieving images that convey arguments. In my talk I will give a brief primer on argument retrieval, an overview of the shared task on image retrieval for arguments I have been organizing for some years [1],  and my thoughts on a new variant of this task that focuses on the retrieval of charts as conveyors of data. I will end my talk with a brief overview of my new tasks at GESIS.
