Supporting Argumentation Schemes in Argumentative Dialogue Games [PDF]
This paper reports preliminary work into the exploitation of argumentation schemes within dialogue games. We identify a property of dialogue games that we call “scheme awareness” that captures the relationship between dialogue game systems and ...

On Argumentation Schemes and the Natural Classification of Arguments [PDF]
We develop conceptions of arguments and of argument types that will, by serving as the basis for developing a natural classification of arguments, benefit work in artificial intelligence. Focusing only on arguments construed as the semantic entities that are the outcome of processes of reasoning, we outline and clarify our view that an argument is a ...

Argumentation schemes in AI and Law [PDF]
In this paper we describe the impact that Walton’s conception of argumentation schemes had on AI and Law research. We will discuss developments in argumentation in AI and Law before Walton’s schemes became known in that community, and the issues that were current in that work. We will then show how Walton’s schemes provided a means of addressing all of

Identifying Argumentation Schemes [PDF]
Argumentation is always a defense of a point of view: (a) Mother: “I don’t think five pounds pocket money is at all necessary; your sister always got two pounds a week.” Daughter: “That was years ago, and Betty, Monica, and all my other girlfriends get five or six pounds.” (b) History teacher: “Funny that you don’t want ...

Arguments of Statutory Interpretation and Argumentation Schemes [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper it is shown how certain defeasible argumentation schemes can be used to represent the logical structure of the most common types of argument used for statutory interpretation both in civil and common law. The method is based on an argumentation structure in which the conclusion, namely, the meaning attributed to a legal source, is

Dialectical Argumentation with Argumentation Schemes: An Approach to Legal Logic [PDF]
This paper describes an approach to legal logic based on the formal analysis of argumentation schemes. Argumentation schemes - a notion borrowed from the field of argumentation theory - are a kind of generalized rules of inference, in the sense that they express that given certain premises a particular conclusion can be drawn.

Argumentation schemes for clinical decision support [PDF]
This paper demonstrates how argumentation schemes can be used in decision support systems that help clinicians in making treatment decisions. The work builds on the use of computational argumentation, a rigorous approach to reasoning with complex data that places strong emphasis on being able to justify and explain the decisions that are recommended ...

An Epistemological Appraisal of Walton’s Argument Schemes
The article critically discusses Walton’s (and co-authors’) argument scheme approach to good argumentation. Four characteristics of Walton’s approach are presented: 1. Argument schemes provide normative requirements. 2.

Argument Schemes for Factor Ascription [PDF]
Reasoning with legal cases by balancing factors (reasons to decide for and against the disputing parties) is a two stage process: first the factors must be ascribed and then these reasons for and against weighed to reach a decision. While the task of determining which set of reasons is stronger has received much attention, the task of factor ascription
