A functional perspective on argumentation schemes

What is it about?

Argumentation schemes, usually expressed in natural language, are patterns of reasoning that are useful in many domains. Formal abstract argumentation is important to reason with inconsistent knowledge. The paper systematically bridges between argumentation schemes and abstract argumentation, which is an important contribution in realising 'argumentation machines'.

Why is it important?

To make machines that can argue using knowledge stored in natural language text, it is important to develop bridges between human and machine-readable forms of argument. The paper makes an important contribution to this bridge and to realising 'argumentation machines'
