Synopsis :

In the late 1990s, AI witnessed an increasing use of the term 'argumentation' within its bounds: in natural language processing, in user interface design, in logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning, in Al's interface with the legal community, and in the newly emerging field of multi-agent systems. It seemed to me that many of these uses of argumentation were inspired by (of- ten inspired) guesswork, and that a great majority of the AI community were unaware that there was a maturing, rich field of research in Argumentation Theory (and Critical Thinking and Informal Logic) that had been steadily re- building a scholarly approach to the area over the previous twenty years or so. Argumentation Theory, on its side; was developing theories and approaches that many in the field felt could have a role more widely in research and soci- ety, but were for the most part unaware that AI was one of the best candidates for such application.

Présentation de l'éditeur:

This book represents the first coherent published work in bringing together various branches of artificial intelligence with argumentation and rhetoric, and, as such, aims to play a key role in the establishment of a new field of scholarly research. The volume not only offers in-depth assessments of existing research, but also represents a substantial advance in the state of the art, and lays out a roadmap for future work in this newly emerging cross-disciplinary field.

Audience: This book is of interest to academics, researchers, PhD and graduate students in philosophy of argument, logic, informal logic, critical thinking, rhetoric, artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, computational linguistics, natural language processing, law, cognitive science and the interdisciplinary areas between these fields.
