COST Action CA17132 - APPLY
European Network for Argumentation and Public Policy Analysis
It is generally agreed upon that epistemic use of the appeal to popular opinion is fallacious. In contrast, its use in political deliberation is often judged as potentially acceptable. Theme to be discussed in this session.
This model generalizes beyond argumentation, and sheds new light on a number of phenomena that have attracted the interest of social epistemologists such as epistemic bubbles and epistemic injustice, among others.
A discussion of current argument mining techniques applied political debates, social network content and clinical trials, to move forward to the generation of natural langauge arguments to build explanations. The ANTIDOTE project will be also introduced.
