[Sassoon, Isabel]

ECAI has been rescheduled, so we now have updated dates for the DEXA workshop, please see below.


**************************************************************************************
2nd International Workshop on Dialogue, Explanation and Argumentation in Human Agent Interaction DEXA-HAI-2020
Held in conjunction with ECAI 2020
29th of August 2020
Santiago de Compostela

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

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 to develop methods to facilitate dialogue between humans and agents? 
How to derive arguments given such dialogues? 
How to explain the decisions made by the intelligent systems and how humans interact 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 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.
