TWOLAR: A TWO-Step LLM-Augmented Distillation Method for Passage Reranking
In this paper, we present TWOLAR: a two-stage pipeline for passage reranking based on the distillation of knowledge from Large Language Models (LLM). TWOLAR introduces a new scoring strategy and a distillation...

Open AccessDetecting and explaining unfairness in consumer contracts through memory networks
Recent work has demonstrated how data-driven AI methods can leverage consumer protection by supporting the automated analysis of legal documents. However, a shortcoming of data-driven approaches is poor explai...

An Argumentative Dialogue System for COVID-19 Vaccine Information
Dialogue systems are widely used in AI to support timely and interactive communication with users. We propose a general-purpose dialogue system architecture that leverages computational argumentation to perfor...

AI reflections in 2019
There is no shortage of opinions on the impact of artificial intelligence and deep learning. We invited authors of Comment and Perspective articles that we published in roughly the first half of 2019 to look b...

CLAUDETTE: an automated detector of potentially unfair clauses in online terms of service
Terms of service of on-line platforms too often contain clauses that are potentially unfair to the consumer. We present an experimental study where machine learning is employed to automatically detect such pot...

Consumer protection requires artificial intelligence
Technology companies have quickly become powerful with their access to large amounts of data and machine learning technologies, but consumers could be empowered too with automated tools to protect their rights.

A New Framework for ABMs Based on Argumentative Reasoning
We present an argumentative approach to agent-based modeling where agents are socially embedded and exchange information by means of simulated dialogues. We argue that this approach can be beneficial in social...

Representing and monitoring social commitments using the event calculus
Multiagent social commitments provide a principled basis for agent interactions, and serve as a natural tool to resolve design ambiguities. Indeed, they have been the subject of considerable research for more ...

Bottom-Up Argumentation
Online social platforms, e-commerce sites and technical fora support the unfolding of informal exchanges, e.g. debates or discussions, that may be topic-driven or serendipitous. We outline a methodology for an...

Exception diagnosis in multiagent contract executions
We propose a diagnosis procedure that agents can use to explain exceptions to contract executions. Contracts are expressed by social commitments associated with temporal constraints. The procedure reasons from...

Reactive Event Calculus for Monitoring Global Computing Applications
In 1986 Kowalski and Sergot proposed a logic-based formalism named Event Calculus (EC), for specifying in a declarative manner how the happening of events affects some representation (the state) of the world. Sin...
