On the Role of Dialogue and Argumentation In Collaborative Problem Solving

A systematic review of argumentation techniques for multi-agent systems research

“…Table 6 shows the included studies classified by the goal of the proposed approach. Some generic studies with a non-specific dialogue type, (Tannai et al 2011;Gaertner and Toni 2007;Wang and Luo 2010;Caiquan et al 2010;Hsairi et al 2006;Hsairi et al 2010;Obeid and Moubaiddin 2009;Xiong et al 2012;Gaertner and Toni 2008;Vreeswijk 2005;Amgoud et al 2000) are not in the table.…”

“…Based on the included studies in the review, the most commonly used technique is rulebased inference (Hsairi et al 2006;Gaertner and Toni 2007;Moraitis and Spanoudakis 2007;Yuan et al 2009;Obeid and Moubaiddin 2009;Caiquan et al 2010;Tannai et al 2011;Xiong et al 2012;Harvey et al 2007;Huang and Lin 2010;Janjua and Hussain 2012;Wardeh et al 2012;Rowe et al 2012;van der Weide et al 2011). However, there are other techniques that must not be ignored because they offer other alternatives to reason under uncertainty, such as fuzzy logic Hsairi et al 2010;Chow et al 2013;Wang and Luo 2010;Tao et al 2014;Bedi and Vashisth 2014) Vicari et al 2003), to reason based on similarity, such as CBR Aulinas et al 2012;), or to measure the benefit of a specific action using utility functions (Ge et al 2010).…”

“…For example, in collaborative problem solving, PAF could be applied if a solution is better (i.e. preferred) than other (Obeid and Moubaiddin 2009). If those preferences can be expressed as a numeric value to measure their strengths, VAF presents an interesting solution, as those values can be learnt dynamically from data (d'Avila Garcez et al 2014) or from agents experience .…”

“…Thus, the argumentation framework must be compatible with that reasoning process of the agent.
