Argumentation, which can be abstractly defined as the interaction of different arguments for
and against some conclusion, is an important skill to learn for everyday life, law, science …

This paper presents a theory of reasoning with evidence in order to determine the facts in a
criminal case. The focus is on the process of proof, in which the facts of the case are …

One of the main challenges for computational legal research is drawing up innovative
heuristics to derive actionable knowledge from legal documents. While a large part of the …

This chapter explains the role of proof burdens and standards in argumentation, illustrates
them using legal procedures, and surveys the history of research on computational models …

We describe a system for constructing, evaluating and visualising arguments based on a
theory of a legal domain, developed using the Angelic methodology and the Carneades …

As governments seek to consult their citizens over matters of policy, it becomes increasingly
important for citizens to receive relevant information in a medium that they can use, and will …

The Carneades software system provides support for constructing, evaluating and
visualizing arguments, using formal representations of facts, concepts, defeasible rules and …

The paper presents three experimental platforms for legal analytics, online environments
integrating heterogeneous computational heuristics, information processing, and …

As knowledge representation tools become more sophisticated, and computer systems
increase in power and ubiquity, the prospects of building practical applications based on the …

In this thesis the author seeks to establish the most appropriate mechanism for conducting
sentiment analysis with respect to political debates; firstly so as to predict their outcome and …
