Knowledge-based Argumentation Analysis – a new DFG-funded project

New project “Between the lines – Knowledge-based Analysis of Argumentation in a formal Argumentation Inference System”, funded by the DFG, starts in cooperation between the LiMo under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Anette Frank and the Artificial Intelligence Group at the University Mannheim under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Heiner Stuckenschmidt.
The project aims to uncover missing explanatory links in argumentative texts, to fill in automatically acquired knowledge that makes the structure of the argument explicit and to establish and verify the knowledge-enhanced argumentation structure with a combination of formal reasoning and machine learning.
