We kindly invite contributions to the:

2nd Workshop on Argumentation for eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (ArgXAI) to be held on 16 September 2024, at the International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA 2024) in Hagen, Germany.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the fields of computational argumentation and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).

Important Dates

• Paper submission deadline: 8 July 2024 (AoE)
• Notification of acceptance: 12 August 2024
• Camera-ready version: 2 September 2024
• Workshop: 16 September 2024

Submission Guidelines

We will welcome:

• Original contributions in the form of mature papers or work in progress;
• Incremental developments (of at least 30% new material) of already published work.

Submissions must be up to 12 pages in PDF format, including abstracts, figures and references, and according to the CEUR-WS template. The reviewing will be single-blind. All submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair conference system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=argxai24. 

Accepted papers will be included in CEUR-WS proceedings after a careful review process, likely before the workshop date. At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the COMMA conference to present the paper in order for it to be included in the workshop proceedings.

List of Topics

We specifically seek contributions that present formal work on argumentative explainability, as well as argumentative approaches that explain the behaviour of intelligent systems (argumentation for XAI). Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Argumentative Explainability
  • Formal definitions of explanations
  • Defeasible reasoning and explanations
  • Computational properties of explanations
  • Neuro-symbolic explainable argumentation
  • Explanation as a form of argumentation or defeasible reasoning
  • Human intelligibility of formal argumentation
  • Dialectical, dialogical and conversational explanations
  • AI methods to support argumentative explainability
  • Analogous topics for other defeasible reasoning approaches
• Argumentation for XAI
  • Applications of argumentation for explainability in the fields of AI (e.g. machine learning, machine reasoning, multi-agent systems, natural language processing) and overlapping fields of research (e.g. optimisation, human-computer interaction, philosophy and social sciences)
  • User-acceptance and evaluation of argumentation-based explanations
  • Software systems that provide argumentation-based explanations
  • Applications of other defeasible reasoning approaches to XAI
