Abstract
Computational Argumentation is a logical model of reasoning that has its origins in philosophy and provides a means for organising evidence for (or against) particular claims (or decisions). Argumentation-based Dialogue is a related methodology that is used for structuring interactions between two (or more) agents and has been explored within the Multi-Agent Systems community as an extended form of negotiation where agents can not only exchange claims, but also their reasons for believing (or disbelieving) those claims. Recently, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community has become intrigued by the notion of “Explainable AI”, in which intelligent systems are able to explain predictions or decisions to (human) users. There is a natural pairing between Explainable AI and Argumentation: the first requires the need to clarify and defend decisions and the second provides a method for linking any decision to the evidence supporting it. In this paper, we describe how the two are connected and illustrate the utility of argumentation-based dialogue as a technique for implementing Explainable AI in a human-robot system.
