In this paper we answer empirically the following research question: “Are dialectical explanation methods more effective than one-shot explanation methods for Intersection of Closed Repairs inconsistency tolerant semantics in existential rules knowledge bases?” We ran two experiments with 84 and respectively 38 participants and showed that under certain conditions dialectical approaches are sig...

patients with limbic encephalitis usually present with new onset mesial temporal lobe seizures, progressive memory disturbance, and a variety of other behavioral, emotional, and cognitive changes. autoimmune inflammation of the limbic gray matter structures of the human brain has recently been identified as major cause of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with interictal temporal epileptiform activ...

Defeasible argumentation is one of the approaches that addresses the challenges arising when we reason defeasibly, with several formalisms in the literature reaching a mature state. Considering that most of these theories eventually shifted their semantics towards dialectical characterizations, we believe that a sufficiently generic model of the process of reasoning in dialectical terms could a...

We propose a dialogue game for mediation and its formalization in DGDL. This dialectical system is available as software through Arvina for automatic execution. This work expands the literature in dialectical systems, in particular those for more than two players, and shows the practical impact on mediation activity through the opportunity offered to mediators once implemented.
