Educational Human-computer Debate: a Computational Dialectics Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theories of learning suggest that dialogue is important in shaping conceptual development. However, there is widespread debate as to the forms of dialogue and which are effective in an educational context. In addressing these issues, we have analysed current knowledge concerning dialectics in philosophy and education. We propose to adopt a computational dialectical approach to study the issues related to the development of an intelligent debating system, which is argued to have potential educational benefit. This approach focuses on using models of dialogue developed in the area of informal logic, which prescribe rules to regulate the evolving dialogue. Our proposed research concerns three main issues in the area of computational dialectics: dialogue model, debating heuristic theory and dialectical relevance.

A Human-Computer Dialogue System for Educational Debate: A Computational Dialectics Approach
This paper reports research concerning issues involved in adopting a computational dialectics approach to develop a human-computer dialogue system for educational debate. In particular, we propose a dialogue model and a set of computationally usable strategic heuristics to enable the computer to engage its users in debate on a controversial issue. The system operationalising the proposed dialog...

متن کاملTesting Computational Dialectic
Computational dialectics are a powerful way to structure the communicative acts that are expressed during the process of argumentation. Many such systems have been proposed but there has been no consensus over what constitutes a good system, or on what basis such a consensus could be built. This paper introduces a testbed for computational dialectics that enables disparate systems to be easily ...
