We develop models to classify desirable reasoning revisions in argumentative writing. We explore two approaches – multi-task learning and transfer learning – to take advantage of auxiliary sources of revision data for similar tasks. Results of intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations show that both approaches can indeed improve classifier performance over baselines. While multi-task learning shows that training on different sources of data at the same time may improve performance, transfer-learning better represents the relationship between the data.
