Recent prior studies with argumentation systems have shown that, unfortunately, with larger learner groups using argumentation software over longer periods of time, argument maps inevitably increase greatly in size and complexity, often leading to learner confusion. To help users understand and navigate within large and complex argument maps, we implemented an initial version of mini maps withi...

The rise in university bilingual science courses is explained by a certain phenomenon, the internationalization of higher education. Bilingual Argument Mapping (BAM) – ability to construct argument maps using two languages key aspect scientific literacy. An map visual representation structure. problem that little known about how foster BAM this type course. goal study was explore possibility fo...

Reasoning with hypothetical cases helps decision-makers evaluate alternate hypotheses for deciding a case. The hypotheticals demonstrate the sensitivity of a hypothesis to apparently small factual differences that may require different results because they shift the tradeoffs among conflicting underlying principles. By anticipating variations, the decision-maker seeks to formulate as general an...

Argument & Computation (A&C) enters its seventh year, renewed in two respects: • A new access policy with a new publisher: the journal adopts a full open access policy with no fees for authors who submit a paper during coming two years at least. We are indebted to the new publisher IOS Press for its enthusiastic support in enabling and promoting this important transition; • A renewed editorial ...

Rapid growth in the area of argument mining has resulted in an ever increasing volume of analysed argument data. Being able to store information about arguments people make in favour or against different opinions, decisions and actions is a highly valuable resource, yet extremely challenging for sense-making. How, for example, can an analyst quickly check whether in a corpus of citizen dialogue...

This paper presents our efforts to create argument structures from meeting transcripts automatically. We show that unit labels of argument diagrams can be learnt and predicted by a computer with an accuracy of 78,52% and 51,43% on an unbalanced and balanced set respectively. We used a corpus of over 250 argument diagrams that was manually created by applying the Twente Argument Schema. In this ...

cosmological argument has been one of the most significant philosophical and theological arguments in religious traditions of different religions. in the western theo-philosophical tradition, there have been both different interpretations and numerous criticisms presented about this argument. in this article, the most important of those arguments and their criticisms are both taken into conside...

I make a case to abandon the use of term “ground truth.” After brief history that indicates its military origins, two main arguments are presented against term. The first is from measurement theory. second by way presenting three examples: in crop mapping, which truth” may have some validity. This as exception prove rule. example looks at albedo, measurand same for local and remote measurements...
