Argumentation mining, a relatively new area of discourse analysis, involves automatically identifying and structuring arguments. Following a basic introduction to argumentation, we describe a new possible domain for argumentation mining: debates in open online collaboration communities. Based on our experience with manual annotation of arguments in debates, we envision argumentation mining as t...

The present paper applies well-investigated modal logics to provide formal foundations to specific fragments of argumentation theory. This logic-driven analysis of argumentation allows: first, to systematize several results of argumentation theory reformulating them within suitable formal languages; second, to import several techniques (calculi, model-checking, evaluation games, bisimulation ga...

There already exist some links between argumentation and game theory. For instance, dynamic games can be used for simulating interactions between agents in an argumentation process. In this paper, we establish a new link between these domains in a static framework: we show how an argumentation framework can be translated into a CP-Boolean game and how this translation can be used for computing ...

Legal argumentation can be modeled using logic, but in this chapter it is claimed that logic alone does not suffice. A model should also take the rhetoric nature of legal argumentation into account. DiaLaw is such a model: a formal, procedural model in which the logical and rhetorical aspects of argumentation are combined. The core of this chapter consists of a description of the basic concepts...

Existing approaches using argumentation to aid or improve machine learning differ in the type of machine learning technique they consider, in their use of argumentation and in their choice of argumentation framework and semantics. This paper presents a survey of this relatively young field highlighting, in particular, its achievements to date, the applications it has been used for as well as th...
