Accessible Algorithms for Applied Argumentation

Abstract

Computational argumentation is a promising research area, yet there is a gap between theoretical contributions and practical applications. Bridging this gap could potentially raise interest in this topic even more. We argue that one part of the bridge could be an open-source package of implementations of argumentation algorithms, visualised in a web interface. Therefore we present a new release of PyArg, providing various new argumentation-based functionalities – including multiple generators, a learning environment, implementations of theoretical papers and a showcase of a practical application – in a new interface with improved accessibility.
