◆Research Interests
Argumentation
Argumentation is a form of non-monotonic reasoning which could be viewed as a dispute resolution of participants' arguments subject to certain propositions. A theoretical study of argumentation is about mechanisms for constructing arguments and the attack relation between them; argumentation semantics for deciding which arguments should be accepted or rejected; or proof procedures for computing the acceptability of arguments w.r.t. different semantics.
Argument Mining
Argument mining (a.k.a. argumentation mining) is an emerging area in computational linguistics. It involves automatic identification of argumentative structures in free text, such as the conclusions, premises, and inference schemes of arguments as well as their interrelations and counter-considerations. It requires interdisciplinary approaches, namely natural language processing techniques, knowledge of discourse in application domains, and argumentation theory.
Description Logic
Description logic is a family of knowledge representation languages. Most of description logic dialects are more expressive than propositional logic but less expressive than first-order logic. They are often used to describe and reason about the relevant concepts of an application domain (i.e. terminological knowledge) and are of importance in providing a logical formalism for ontologies and the Semantic Web.
