\section{Introduction}

Coffee is considered tasty \citep{Aristotle.1991} and increases productivity \citep{Bowman.et.al.2015,Hamblin.1970}. Recently, \citet{Habernal.Gurevych.2016.ACL} discovered its miraculous effects.

\section{Research questions}

Citing passively, just at the end of the sentence \citep{Habernal.Gurevych.2017.COLI,Habernal.Gurevych.2016.ACL}. But sometimes you want say something, as suggested by \citet{Habernal.Gurevych.2016.EMNLP}.

\midrule
1--2 & Explore related work on ethical argumentation from (a) NLP perspective, (b) historical research perspective, (c) ethics of technology perpective & Some input can be provided by Prof.\ Dr.\ John Doe (Anthropic) \\
3--4 & Setting up the thesis document and writing up the related work & \\
\midrule & \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Milestone 1} Full overview of related work} \\ \midrule
5--6 & Manual compilation of lorem ipsum & Consulting the selection with ABC \\
7--8 & Develop methods to lorem ipsum & This will inevitably narrow down the topics due to limited full-text coverage\\ \midrule
& \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Milestone 2} Baseline experiments and evaluation} \\ \midrule
9--11 & Develop XYZ and WYZ & \\
12--13 & Conduct a pilot study and evaluate annotation agreement & \\
13 & Mid-term presentation & \\
14--15 & Scale-up the annotation study on a larger collection of documents across several topics & Same as above \\ \midrule
& \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Milestone 3} Annotated gold-standard corpus} \\ \midrule
16--18 & Develop and evaluate NLP models capable of automatically extracting and/or classifying ethical arguments in research papers & See \citet{Habernal.et.al.2017.EMNLP} \\
\midrule & \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Milestone 4} Trained models for ethical argument mining} \\ \midrule
19--20 & Provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of selected topics to gain insights into shift of ethical argumentation over time. & \\
