Computational Argumentation is an emerging area of research in the domain of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Computational Argumentation provides a mechanism to reason with uncertain and at times incomplete information, and a way of explaining the resulting outcome of the reasoning process. Computational Argumentation can be used to enhance the interaction between humans and AI systems.

The main aim of this tutorial is to provide an initial foundation in the concepts underlying computational argumentation and its relevance and potential applications in the context of Human-agent interaction (HAI).

Attendees will gain exposure to the field of computational argumentation with an emphasis on those aspects of the domain that are more readily applicable to Human-Centric AI.
