Generating and Reasoning with Argumentation Graphs

All members of the department are welcome: undergraduates, postgraduates, postdocs, teaching staff, technical staff - anyone who would like to attend and learn a little bit about what our speakers do in their research career. Members from other disciplines within the School, and the wider University community, are also welcome to attend.

All PhD students in Chemistry are expected to attend as part of their PhD training.

Generating and Reasoning with Argumentation Graphs
-

This is a past event

In argumentation theory, we study how to model reasoning through the construction and evaluation of arguments using, so called, argumentation semantics. However, this two steps process (generation and evaluation) have been shown to be limiting due to the large number of arguments generated from real-life knowledge bases. Moreover, although it is assumed that argumentation semantics are intuitive to users, it is still mostly unknown how human reasoning relates to the underlying principles of argumentation. 

In this talk, I will discuss my research in argumentation theory, focusing on:

  • Techniques for generating argumentation graphs from knowledge bases
  • Reasoning methods and how they relate to human reasoning
  • Possible argumentation applications
