Arguments from Experience: The PADUA Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe PADUA, a protocol designed to enable agents to debate an issue drawing arguments not from a knowledge base of facts, rules and priorities but directly from a dataset of records of instances in the domain. This is particularly suited to applications which have large, possibly noisy, datasets, for which knowledge engineering would be difficult. Direct use of data requires a different style of argument, which has many affinities to case based reasoning. Following motivation and a discussion of the requirement of this form of reasoning, we present the protocol and illustrate its use with a case study. We conclude with a discussion of some significant issues highlighted by our approach.

Padua: a Protocol for Argumentation Dialogue Using Association Rules
We describe PADUA, a protocol designed to support two agents debating a classification by offering arguments based on association rules mined from individual datasets. We motivate the style of argumentation supported by PADUA, and describe the protocol. We discuss the strategies and tactics that can be employed by agents participating in a PADUA dialogue. PADUA is applied to a typical problem i...
متن کاملDynamic Rule Mining for Argumentation Based Systems
Argumentation has proved to be a very influential reasoning mechanism particularly in the context of multi agent systems. In this paper we introduce PADUA (Protocol for Argumentation Dialogue Using Association Rules), a novel argumentation formalism that dynamically mines Association Rules (ARs) from the case background as a means to: (i) generate the arguments exchanged among dialogue particip...

Background Since the success rate in older poor-responder (POR) infertile women is expected to be extremely low irrespective of the treatment protocol, clinicians continue the search for biomarkers which may predict cases in which proceeding with follicle aspiration may be appropriate. Experimental studies on murine model suggest that SCF(Stem- Cell-Factor) produced by ovarian cumulus granulosa...
متن کاملArgument Based Moderation of Benefit Assessment
Error rates in the assessment of routine claims for welfare benefits have been found to very high in Netherlands, USA and UK. This is a significant problem both in terms of quality of service and financial loss through over payments. These errors also present challenges for machine learning programs using the data. In this paper we propose a way of addressing this problem by using a process of ...

Background Current strategies based on random selection of MII-oocytes to fertilize appear unsatisfactory in selecting the best number and the most vital oocytes to fertilize especially in poor responder women in which “chronological age” does not mismatch with “biological age”. The metabolomics- profiling approach, evaluating the final products of cell regulatory process (genome/transcriptome/...
