DEXA HAI

The International Workshop on Dialogue, Explanation and Argumentation in Human-Agent Interaction (DEXA HAI) will focus on the approaches, concepts and applications relevant to supporting dialogue and explainability in the context of human interaction with agent-based systems.

The workshop will focus on the following questions:

• How to develop methods to facilitate dialogue between humans and agents?

• How to derive arguments given such dialogues?

• How to explain the decisions made by the intelligent systems and how humans interact with such systems?

This workshop will particularly cover the use of computational argumentation and argumentation-based dialogue approaches to answer these questions, but will also consider natural language processing work on dialogue which fits into the ``explainability'' theme.

The workshop will bring together researchers from different application domains with the common theme of dialogue and explanation in interactive agent-based systems, as well as computational argumentation in the same theme. We would like to:

• Explore the different approaches to dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;

• Investigate methods or approaches to promoting explainability of agent-based decisions in interactive human-agent systems;

• Explore the application of argumentation-based approaches to supporting dialogue in interactive human-agent systems;

• Investigate how explainability can be evaluated in the human-agent context.

Agenda

All times are CET and the workshop is hosted in a ZOOM room via the ECAI platform.
