AF-XRAY: Visual Explanation and Resolution of Ambiguity in Legal Argumentation Frameworks
Argumentation frameworks (AFs) provide formal approaches for legal reasoning, but identifying sources of ambiguity and explaining argument acceptance remains challenging for non-experts. We present AF-XRAY, an open-source toolkit for exploring, analyzing, and visualizing abstract AFs in legal reasoning. AF-XRAY introduces: (i) layered visualizations based on game-theoretic argument length revealing well-founded derivation structures; (ii) classification of attack edges by semantic roles (primar…

Contestability in Quantitative Argumentation
Contestable AI requires that AI-driven decisions align with human preferences. While various forms of argumentation have been shown to support contestability, Edge-Weighted Quantitative Bipolar Argumentation Frameworks (EW-QBAFs) have received little attention. In this work, we show how EW-QBAFs can be deployed for this purpose. Specifically, we introduce the contestability problem for EW-QBAFs, which asks how to modify edge weights (e.g., preferences) to achieve a desired strength for a specif…

Yup, the hard part isn’t writing code.
I’m always a bit cautious of the argument that the barriers are a good thing. That easily slips into harmful gatekeeping if we aren’t careful. It’s not good when programming is inaccessible or unwelcoming.
What •is• good is that writing code slows you down and (if you’re good) makes you •think• about what the heck you’re doing — the work @… is talking about — with a depth and detail that no amount of chin-stroking and up-front design work can match. Skipping that work, however you skip it, is a false gain.
