Encompassing Uncertainty in Argumentation Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In existing literature, little attention has been paid to the problems of how the uncertainty reflected by natural language text (e.g. verbal and linguistic uncertainty) can be explicitly formulated in argumentation schemes, and how argumentation schemes enriched with various types of uncertainty can be exploited to support argumentation mining and evaluation. In this paper, we focus on the first problem, and introduce some preliminary ideas about how to classify and encompass uncertainty in argumentation schemes.

A Labelling Framework for Probabilistic Argumentation
The combination of argumentation and probability paves the way to new accounts of qualitative and quantitative uncertainty, thereby offering new theoretical and applicative opportunities. Due to a variety of interests, probabilistic argumentation is approached in the literature with different frameworks, pertaining to structured and abstract argumentation, and with respect to diverse types of u...
متن کاملUncertainty and fuzziness: from natural language to argumentation models
Uncertainty and fuzziness pervade natural language both explicitly and implicitly. The explicit presence of uncertainty and fuzziness is exemplified by statements like "I believe that tomorrow will probably be a bit colder than today", while the presence of implicit uncertainty and/or fuzziness can be referred to background domain knowledge, e.g. in the statement "Tomorrow will be rainy because...
متن کاملIdentifying Argumentation Schemes in Genetics Research Articles
This paper presents preliminary work on identification of argumentation schemes, i.e., identifying premises, conclusion and name of argumentation scheme, in arguments for scientific claims in genetics research articles. The goal is to develop annotation guidelines for creating corpora for argumentation mining research. This paper gives the specification of ten semantically distinct argumentatio...
متن کاملArgument Schemes for Reasoning about Trust
Trust is a natural mechanism by which an autonomous party can deal with the inherent uncertainty regarding the behaviors of other parties and the uncertainty in the information it shares with those parties. Trust is thus crucial in any decentralized system. We build on recent efforts to use argumentation to reason about trust. Specifically, we provide a set of schemes, abstract patterns of reas...
متن کاملFrom Discourse Analysis to Argumentation Schemes and Back: Relations and Differences
In argumentation theory, argumentation schemes are abstract argument forms expressed in natural language, commonly used in everyday conversational argumentation. In computational linguistics, discourse analysis have been conducted to identify the discourse structure of connected text, i.e. the nature of the discourse relationships between sentences. In this paper, we propose to couple these two...
