{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"Modelling the Persuadee in Asymmetric Argumentation Dialogues for Persuasion","authors":[{"name":"Anthony Hunter","slug":"anthony-hunter","given":"Anthony","family":"Hunter","affiliation":""}],"abstract":"Computational models of argument could play a valuable role in persuasion technologies for behaviour change (e.g. persuading a user to eat a more healthy diet, or to drink less, or to take more exercise, or to study more conscientiously, etc). For this, the system (the persuader) could present arguments to convince the user (the persuadee). In this paper, we consider asymmetric dialogues where only the system presents arguments, and the system maintains a model of the user to determine the best choice of arguments to present (including counterarguments to key arguments believed to be held by the user). The focus of the paper is on the user model, including how we update it as the dialogue progresses, and how we use it to make optimal choices for dialogue moves.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/431","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/0431.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/431.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/bibtex/431","volume":{"slug":"2015","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2015","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2015/","year":2015,"location":"Buenos Aires, Argentina","dates":"25–31 July 2015","editors":"Qiang Yang and Michael Wooldridge","isbn":"978-1-57735-738-4","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Special Track on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning","track":"Special Track on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning","number":431,"pages":{"first":3055,"last":3060},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
