2nd International Workshop on Dialogue, Explanation and Argumentation in Human Agent Interaction DEXA-HAI-2020

Held in conjunction with ECAI 2020

**************************************************************************************


The International Workshop on Dialogue, Explanation and Argumentation in Human-Agent Interaction (DEXA HAI 2020) will focus on the approaches, concepts and applications relevant to supporting dialogue and explainability in the context of human interaction with agent-based systems.


The workshop will focus on the following questions:

How can we develop methods to facilitate dialogue between humans and agents?

How can we derive arguments given such dialogues?

How can we explain the decisions made by intelligent systems; and

How can we support humans in interacting with such systems?

This workshop will particularly cover the use of computational argumentation and argumentation-based dialogue approaches to answer these questions, but will also consider natural language processing work on dialogue, and any work which fits into the ``explainability'' theme.


The workshop will bring together researchers from different application domains with the common theme of dialogue and explanation in interactive agent-based systems, as well as computational argumentation in the same theme. We would like to:

Explore the different approaches to dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;

Investigate methods or approaches to promoting explainability of agent-based decisions in interactive human-agent systems;

Explore the application of argumentation-based approaches to supporting dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;

Investigate how explainability can be evaluated in the human-agent context.
