So, so I think you can think of argumentation as a, as an implementation of a form of uncertain reasoning.

Examples

    Academic text (2017)

  • Even more sophisticated roles for artificial argumentation tools are sought in the medium term and are the subject of recent research initiatives.

    Academic text (2017)

  • We give an example of an argumentation framework, based on textual arguments, in figure 2.

    Academic text (2017)

  • Using artificial argumentation to build automated persuaders provides several interesting research challenges that the community is starting to tackle.

    Academic text (2017)

    Academic text (2017)

  • For a tutorial introduction to formalisms for structured argumentation, see Besnard et al. (2014).

    Academic text (2017)

  • In his paper, he explored various methods of argumentation that can enhance machine learning algorithms.

Surface Forms

argumentation singular
argumentations plural

Morphology

argumentation = argument (semi-transparent) = argument + ation

The form still clearly contains 'argument' and '-ation', but the specialized academic and computational meaning is not fully predictable from the parts alone.

Etymology

Argumentation comes from the same root as argue and argument, from the Latin arguere 'to make clear' or 'to prove'. That's why in computer science argumentation means making arguments in a clear, rule-based way that a computer or program can follow.
