Many of these have<br \/>\na mathematical nature that is remote from how people actually perceive<br \/>\ntheir everyday commonsense reasoning, which makes it difficult to<br \/>\nunderstand and trust the behavior of an intelligent system. The<br \/>\nargumentation approach bridges this gap by providing logical formalisms<br \/>\nthat are rigid enough to be formally studied and implemented, while at the<br \/>\nsame time being close enough to informal reasoning to be understood by<br \/>\ndesigners and users. In the current course the fundamental concepts and<br \/>\nstructure of argumentation logics will be discussed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our SICSA Distinguished Visitor, Henry Prakken, is delivering a masterclass today aimed at PhD students on the topic of Logics for Argumentation.
