Arguing Agents |
| Leerdoelen |
Acquiring knowledge of argumentation as studied in artificial intelligence. |
| Omschrijving |
Having an opinion is easy, while defending it can be hard. The history of reflecting about how to best argue for a position and attack another's is rich and goes (at least) back to Greek antiquity. Today the study of argumentation is highly interdisciplinary, including theoretical, computational and application perspectives, and combines insights from logic, computer science and application domains, such as evidential reasoning and law. This course focuses on argumentation as studied in artificial intelligence. Attention is paid to the logic of argument attack, the combination of support and attack, the coherence of positions and uncertainty. It is discussed how developments in computational argumentation can help close the gap between knowledge-based and data-driven artificial intelligence. Special attention is paid to reasoning with evidence and legal decision making. The course consists of a theoretical part discussed in lectures, supported with practical exercises discussed in lab sessions. |
