<div>**************************************************************************************<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The workshop will focus on the following questions: <br>
</div>
<div>How can we develop methods to facilitate dialogue between humans and agents?
<br>
</div>
<div>How can we derive arguments given such dialogues? <br>
</div>
<div>How can we explain the decisions made by intelligent systems; and<br>
</div>
<div>How can we support humans in interacting with such systems? <br>
</div>
<div>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.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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:<br>
</div>
<div>Explore the different approaches to dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;<br>
</div>
<div>Investigate methods or approaches to promoting explainability of agent-based decisions in interactive human-agent systems;<br>
</div>
<div>Explore the application of argumentation-based approaches to supporting dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;<br>
</div>
<div>Investigate how explainability can be evaluated in the human-agent context.<br>
</div>
