Formalising argumentative story-based analysis of evidence
In the present paper, we provide a formalised version of a merged argumentative and story-based approach towards the analysis of evidence. As an application, we are able to show how our approach sheds new light on inference to the best explanation with case evidence. More specifically, it will be clarified how the events in a case story that are considered to be proven abductively explain the otherwise unproven events of the case story. We compare our approach with existing AI work on modelling legal reasoning with evidence
Representing and Evaluating Legal Narratives with Subscenarios in a Bayesian network
In legal cases, stories or scenarios can serve as the context for a
crime when reasoning with evidence. In order to develop a
scientifically founded technique for evidential reasoning, a method is
required for the representation and evaluation of various scenarios in
a case. In this paper the probabilistic technique of Bayesian networks
is proposed as a method for modeling narrative, and it is shown how
this can be used to capture a number of narrative properties.
Bayesian networks quantify how the variables in a case interact.
Recent research on Bayesian networks applied to legal cases includes
the development of a list of legal idioms: recurring substructures in
legal Bayesian networks. Scenarios are coherent presentations of a
collection of states and events, and qualitative in nature. A method
combining the quantitative, probabilistic approach with the narrative
approach would strengthen the tools to represent and evaluate
scenarios.
In a previous paper, the development of a design method for modeling
multiple scenarios in a Bayesian network was initiated. The design
method includes two narrative idioms: the scenario idiom and the
merged scenarios idiom. In this current paper, the method of Vlek, et
al. (2013) is extended with a subscenario idiom and it is shown how
the method can be used to represent characteristic features of
narrative
