*** Call for Abstracts: Third Workshop on Argument Strength ***
When: October 12-14, 2020
Where: Universität Koblenz-Landau, Koblenz, Germany
Website: http://argstrength2020.argumentationcompetition.org/
Arguments vary in strength. The strength of an argument is affected by
e.g. the plausibility of its premises, the nature of the link between
its premises and conclusion, and the prior acceptability of the conclusion.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from the fields of
artificial intelligence, philosophy, logic, and argumentation theory to
discuss questions related to the strength of arguments. Such questions
include:
-Which factors influence the strength of an argument?
-What are the pros and cons of different formal representations of
argument strength?
-How to formally model qualifiers on the conclusions of arguments?
-How does argument strength propagate when inferences are chained?
-How do arguments accrue?
-Can weaker arguments defeat and/or defend stronger arguments?
-When do more specific arguments defeat more general arguments and vice
versa?
-How do formal and informal approaches to argument strength relate?
-How do preferences assigned to premises influence the evaluation of
arguments?
