چکیده
Our research is on developing artificial intelligence-based approaches to help lay audiences to understand medical and other scientific arguments.

In this position paper, we focus on two forms of internal representation to be used by the system: a qualitative causal probabilistic model for domain reasoning, and the representation of normative arguments, based upon the Toulmin model, in document planning.
