Testing Computational Dialectic
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational dialectics are a powerful way to structure the communicative acts that are expressed during the process of argumentation. Many such systems have been proposed but there has been no consensus over what constitutes a good system, or on what basis such a consensus could be built. This paper introduces a testbed for computational dialectics that enables disparate systems to be easily implemented and investigated, and for further comparisons between those systems to be made.

Testing Formal Dialectic
Systems of argumentation or ’computational dialectic’ are emerging as a powerful means of structuring inter-agent communication in multi-agent systems. Individual systems of computational dialectic have been suggested and implemented to tackle specific problems but no comprehensive and comparative assessment has been made of such systems. This paper introduces ScenarioGC0, a framework for the i...

متن کاملDialectic Approach for Using Viewpoint Discrepancies in Learning
The paper proposes a dialectic approach to exploit discrepancies of viewpoints for learning. The approach is illustrated with an elaborated example. A computational framework of a pedagogical agent capable of interacting with a learner for discussing different viewpoints in the same domain is outlined. The framework employs AI technologies, such as argumentation for defeasible reasoning, situat...
متن کاملGesture and Thought
Both a synopsis and extension of Gesture and Thought (the book), the present essay explores how gestures and language work together in a dialectic. In this analysis the ‘purpose’ of gesture is to fuel and propel thought and speech. A case study illustrates the dependence of verbal thought on context and how it functions. Problems for computational modeling, the presence and absence of gesture ‘...
متن کاملFormal Dialectic Specification
Formal dialectic systems have been suggested as a means to model inter-agent communication in multi-agent systems. The formal dialectic systems of Hamblin are practical models for the computational implementation of such a system of argumentative dialogue. This paper introduces a formal framework for the specification of Hamblintype systems that has a range of benefits for theoretical work in t...
