Recommender system based on argumentation by analogy

Argumentation has contributed to the formalization of a reasoning model, similar to the human reasoning. In general, argumentation can be associated with the interaction of reasons in favour and against certain conclusions, so as to determine what conclusions are acceptable. A way of arguing in which the way in which the arguments are constructed, is Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP); this is a formalism that combines logic programming and defeasible argumentation. This work focuses on the strengthening of the reasoning process, identifying partial connections or determinations between knowledge pieces. Through these relations, it is possible to increase the justi cations and foundations that support a particular recommendation, by an analogy process.XV Workshop de Agentes y Sistemas InteligentesRed de Universidades con Carreras de Informática (RedUNCI

Introducing a Context-Aware Scheme in an intelligent reasoning process

Several investigations have been developed around analogies based reasoning in different domains, however the analogy between arguments has not been deeply explored. A semiformal way to express these patterns of reasoning were proposed by Walton, through argument schemes from analogy. From this, it is possible to propose computable approximations for comparing arguments. In this paper we introduce a formalism based on the comparison of arguments through descriptors or labels which describes an aspect that the argument refers to. This formalism allows us classifying similar arguments considering the natural descriptors of them, in a specific context.XVII Workshop Agentes y Sistemas Inteligentes (WASI).Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Dealing with Qualitative and Quantitative Features in Legal Domains

In this work, we enrich a formalism for argumentation by including a formal characterization of features related to the knowledge, in order to capture proper reasoning in legal domains. We add meta-data information to the arguments in the form of labels representing quantitative and qualitative data about them. These labels are propagated through an argumentative graph according to the relations of support, conflict, and aggregation between arguments.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1903.0186

A preliminary study of argumentation frameworks and argumentation schemes that appeal to expert opinion

The research in argumentation has produce systems with a human-like mechanism for commonsense reasoning. One form of repre- senting arguments is called Argumentation Schemes, in which are argu- ment forms that represent inferential structures of arguments used in everyday discourse, and in special contexts like legal argumentation, sci- enti c argumentation, and especially in AI. One type of argumentation scheme corresponds to appeal to Expert Opinion or Position-to-Know argumentation. Position-to-know reasoning is typically used in an infor- mation seeking type of dialogue where one has to depend on a source. Most of such argumentation frameworks are based on Dung's seminal work characterizing Abstract Argumentation Frameworks. In this work we introduce a novel framework, called Expert Argumentation Framework (EAF), extending AF with the capability of modeling the quality of expert associated with the arguments that proposed.Eje: Workshop Agentes y sistemas inteligentes (WASI)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Modelo inicial para integrar el pensamiento crítico a los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje: perspectiva sistémica

En este trabajo se presentan los avances en el proyecto de investigación denominado “Propuesta de un modelo para incorporar el Pensamiento Crítico a los Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje (EVA), desde una perspectiva Sistémica”. El modelo inicial es construido a partir de las siguientes aportaciones de la Sistémica: el mapa neutral de un sistema de información, y la definición de metáforas o verbos sustantivados.Eje: Innovación en Educación en InformáticaRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

A framework for arguing from analogy: preliminary results

Human reasoning applies argumentation patterns to draw conclusions about a particular subject. These patterns represent the structure of the arguments in the form of argumentation schemes which are useful in AI to emulate human reasoning. A type of argument schema is that what allow to analyze the similarities and diferences between two arguments, to find a solution to a new problem from an already known one. Researchers in the heavily studied field of analogies in discourse have recognized that there is not a full and complete definition to indicate when two arguments are considered analogous. Our proposal presents an initial attempt to formalize argumentation schemes based on analogies, considering a relationship of analogy between arguments. This will contribute to the area increasing such schemes usefulness in Artifícial Intelligence (AI), since it can be implemented later in Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP).Workshop agentes y sistemas inteligentes.Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

El Pensamiento Crítico y los Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje : Perspectiva Sistémica

Un entorno virtual de aprendizaje es una herramienta tecnológica que constituye un entorno dinámico, con determinadas condiciones físicas y temporales, que posibilitan y favorecen el aprendizaje. El pensamiento crítico desde un punto de vista práctico, es un proceso mediante el cual se usa el conocimiento y la inteligencia para llegar, de forma efectiva, a la posición más razonable y justificada sobre un tema. Se basa en valores intelectuales que tratan de ir más allá de las impresiones y opiniones particulares, por lo que requiere claridad, exactitud, precisión, evidencia y equidad. Tiene por tanto una vertiente analítica y otra evaluativa. Sin embargo, se trata de un enfoque que por ser analítico, es simplificador. De manera de desarrollar un modelo abarcador de la complejidad, que tenga en cuenta las características, el ambiente y los componentes del entorno virtual de aprendizaje, as como muchos otros aspectos relevantes para conformar el modelo, tales como pueden ser las emociones del aprendiz, es que se propone un desarrollo basado en una perspectiva sistémica.Eje: Innovación en Educación en InformáticaRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
