Argument Harvesting Using Chatbots
Much research in computational argumentation assumes that arguments and counterarguments can be obtained in some way. Yet, to improve and apply models of argument, we need methods for acquiring them. Current approaches include argument mining from text, hand coding of arguments by researchers, or generating arguments from knowledge bases. In this paper, we propose a new approach, which we call argument harvesting, that uses a chatbot to enter into a dialogue with a participant to get arguments and counterarguments from him or her. Because it is automated, the chatbot can be used repeatedly in many dialogues, and thereby it can generate a large corpus. We describe the architecture of the chatbot, provide methods for managing a corpus of arguments and counterarguments, and an evaluation of our approach in a case study concerning attitudes of women to participation in sport.

Customer service chatbots are increasingly expected to serve not merely as reactive support tools for users, but as strategic interfaces for harvesting high-value information and business intelligence. In response, we ma…
Some hypotheses on how chatbots work in problem-solving-driven conversations. Large Language Models as confirmation of the Innovation Illusion
We discuss the nature of chatbots as conversation partners in problem-solving. What can chatbots do and what can't they do? We develop hypotheses on how this can this be explained. Our argument draws on insights from Agg…
