Improve online public discourse by connecting opinions across blogs, editorials, and social media.
The Argument Web is maturing as both a platform built upon synthesis of many contemporary theories argumentation in philosophy and also an ecosystem which various applications application components are contributed by different research groups around the world. It already hosts largest publicly accessible corpora has number interoperable cross compatible tools for analysis, navigation evaluation arguments across broad range domains, languages activity types. Such interoperability key...
In this paper, we present a software tool for 'ArguBlogging', which allows users to construct debate and discussions across blogs, linking existing new online resources form distributed, structured conversations. Arguments counterarguments can be posed by giving opinions on one's own blog replying other bloggers' posts. The resulting argument structure is connected the Argument Web, in argumentative structures are made semantically explicit machine-processable. We discuss ArguBlogging...
Debating technologies, a newly emerging strand of research into computational technologies to support human debating, offer powerful way providing naturalistic, dialogue-based interaction with complex information spaces. The full potential debating for dialogical argument can, however, only be realized once key technical and engineering challenges are overcome, namely data structure, availability, interoperability between components. Our aim in this article is show that the Argument Web,...
The development of applications with intelligent virtual agents (IVA) often comes integration multiple complex components. In this article we present the Agents United Platform: an open source platform that researchers and developers can use as a starting point to setup their own multi-IVA applications.
Abstract Language resources for studying doctor–patient interaction are rare, primarily due to the ethical issues related recording real medical consultations. Rarer still that involve more than one healthcare professional in consultation with a patient, despite many chronic conditions requiring multiple areas of expertise effective treatment. In this paper, we present design, construction and output Patient Consultation Corpus , multimodal corpus simulated consultations between patient...
As the average age of population increases, so too do number people living with chronic illnesses. With limited resources available, development dialogue-based e-health systems that provide justified general health advice offers a cost-effective solution to management conditions. It is however imperative such are responsible in their approach. We present this paper two main challenges for deployment systems, have particular relevance dialogue and argumentation: collecting handling data,...

This paper presents progress and challenges in developing a platform for multi-character, argumentation based, interaction with group of virtual coaches healthcare advice promotion healthy behaviours. Several arise the development such platform, e.g., choosing most effective way utilising between multiple perspectives, handling presentation these perspectives finally, personalisation adaptation to user types. In this paper, we present three main recognized, show how aim address these.
Understanding the dynamics of argumentation systems is a crucial component in development computational models argument that are used as representations belief. To end, this article, we introduce model Argument Revision, presented terms contraction and revision system structured argumentation. Revision influenced by AGM belief revision, but with certain key differences. First, involves modifying underlying (system argumentation) from which beliefs derived, allowing for finer-grained approach...
