NLP and argumentation

NLP and argumentation

Quell is meant to let players practise real philosophical debate. That needs two kinds of groundwork. One is a model of argument structure, detailed enough for the game to understand what a player has built. The other is a way to tell what a player’s notes are about.

Start with Debate, the intended mechanic and what is still undecided. Argument maps describes the reviewed graphs of each text that debates would be built from, and Reading notes covers how a player’s highlights and notes would be interpreted.

The other articles explain the argumentation theory and language-processing techniques this work draws on, grouped by topic below.
