Anchored Narratives in Reasoning about Evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns the reasoning with stories, evidence and generalisations in a legal context. We will make some notions from the existing Anchored Narratives theory more clear by making use of two formal techniques from AI, namely causal-abductive reasoning and default-style argumentation. We will propose a combination of these two formalisms which solves some of the problems of the causal-abductive approach.

Sense-making software for crime investigation: how to combine stories and arguments?
Sense-making software for crime investigation should be based on a model of reasoning about evidence that is both natural and rationally well-founded. A formal model is proposed that combines AI formalisms for abductive inference to the best explanation and for defeasible argumentation.

متن کاملSolving a Murder Case by Asking Critical Questions: An Approach to Fact-Finding in Terms of Argumentation and Story Schemes
In this paper, we look at reasoning with evidence and facts in criminal cases. We show how this reasoning may be analysed in a dialectical way by means of critical questions that point to typical sources of doubt. We discuss critical questions about the evidential arguments adduced, about the narrative accounts of the facts considered, and about the way in which the arguments and narratives are...
متن کاملSense-making software for crime investigation: how to combine stories and arguments?1
Crime investigation is a difficult and laborious process, especially in large cases that involve a mass of unstructured evidence of which crime investigators have to make sense.

Current professional state-of-the-art software for managing and ...
