Interleaved Argumentation and Explanation in Dialogue

Abstract

Our goal is to provide computational models for natural arguments for the concepts of argument and explanation studied in the informal logic literature. Apart from distinguishing explanations from arguments we show our approach for modeling them. We describe the communicative acts of the agents by representing their different views on the topics of the dialog. By using description logics to define the differences, its reasoning is used to distinguish arguments from explanations.
