Prof. Chris Reed

Co-Investigator

I am interested in the fields of both Artificial Intelligence and the philosophy of argument. Within the BESiDE project we are working to apply this to facilitating communication. Much of BESIDE revolves around carefully structured conversation; my interest lies in the way such conversations are structured and the ways in which the information they contain can be extracted, manipulated, updated and extended, and what philosophers refer to as intertextuality -- in this case, how different conversations refer to information that is interconnected. The controlled creation of these datasets and tools that can be used to interrogate and extend them represent tasks that require a demanding interdisciplinary mix of skills.
