COMMA 2022 will host the first workshop on Argumentation and Machine Learning (ArgML), with the aim of providing researchers and practitioners with a dedicated forum for the discussion of new ideas and research results at the intersection of these two fields. The workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to make meaningful connections and develop their understanding of the challenges involved in developing innovative AI solutions that combine methods from ML and argumentation.
A key contribution of this workshop will involve the hosting of specific panels dedicated to the discussion of the benefits of combining argumentation and ML, under the topics:
Panel 1: What can argumentation do for ML?
Panel 2: What can ML do for argumentation?
