Applications of argumentation-based dialogues

Andreas Xydis, Federico Castagna, Elizabeth Sklar, Simon Parsons

Abstract: This chapter reviews work on applications of argumentation-based dialogue. It takes both a broad view of dialogue and a broad view of what constitutes an application. It considers the full range of software tools that would be needed in constructing a software system that is capable of engaging in argumentation-based dialogue, along with complete applications, and includes both work that builds on formal models of dialogue, and that is more inspired by recent work on chatbots from natural language processing.
