*Call for Papers: *The First Workshop on Natural Language Argument-Based
Explanations (ArgNLE - https://argnle.github.io/ECAI-ArgNLE/), October
20th, 2024. Co-located with ECAI 2024 (https://www.ecai2024.eu/).
Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain. *

*Workshop description*
Providing high quality explanations for AI predictions based on machine
learning is a challenging and complex task. Explainability and
Computational Argumentation have usually been approached as separate,
independent research topics, which neglects many aspects arising from
considering the interdependencies between them. To be effective for
human users, explanations are required to be formulated in natural
language, possibly in an argumentative fashion. A workshop on exploring
*Natural language Argument-based Explanations* is proposed to
investigate this challenging topic, at the crossroad of these different
research fields.
The workshop welcomes contributions showing an integrated vision of
Explainable AI (XAI), where low level characteristics of the deep
learning process are combined with higher level schemas proper of the
human argumentation capacity. More precisely, the workshop is intended
to discuss research challenges that will allow to advance the state of
the art in explainable AI.
*Topics of interest*
Natural language argument-based explanations
Dialectical, dialogical and conversational explanations
AI methods to support argumentative explainability
User-acceptance and evaluation of argumentation-based explanations
Tools that provide argumentation-based explanations
Use of argument-based explanations for research from the social
sciences, digital humanities, and related fields
Real-world applications
*Submissions*
The workshop solicits the submission of three types of contributions
relevant to the workshop topics and suitable to generate discussion:
- Original, unpublished contributions
- Dataset related submissions (presenting a dataset or a corpus related
to the workshop topics, that has been or is currently under development.
These papers may have already been published in another venue).
- Projects related submissions (presenting funded projects or lines of
work within the topics of the workshop, both academic and industrial).
*Invited speaker*
Professor Francesca Toni, Faculty of Engineering, Department of
Computing, Imperial College London, UK.
