Join us at the Informatics Forum, The University of Edinburgh for a day filled with talks and discussions. Learn about how philosophy, linguistics and AI combine to build computational systems of reasoning. With speakers studying argumentation theory to robotics, this workshop will bring together vastly different worlds through the lens of argumentation.
What to expect
Tutorial on Argumentative Dialogue: Participants can learn about approaches to reasoning out of conflict by drawing on a variety of theories of argumenation. Keynote and talks: The workshop aims to bridge the gap between two closely related but distinct fields: argument mining and computational argumentation. Lightning Talks: Early career researchers are encouraged to share their findings whether previously published or as work-in-progress in a round of three-minute lightning talks!
