Center for Argument Technology

The Centre for Argument Technology works in philosophical and linguistic theory of argument, in computational models of argument and their implementation in artificial intelligence systems, and in deploying argument technology solutions to large audiences.

Laboratory of the New Ethos

In the Laboratory of The New Ethos, we are studying persuasion strategies of referring to ethos, i.e. people’s character. Since antiquity, these strategies have been recognised as a powerful tool of influencing others in public communication.

New technologies enable us to look at ethos from a perspective which complements the traditional approaches by delivering resources, theories and technologies of ethos.

Maastricht University

The group's research examines the links between the processes of governance broadly conceived and wider public debate and meaning-making. More recently, and within the DeLab project, cultural scripts are studied and will be added to the project.

Computational Rhetoric und Natural Language Processing

The CoRNLP groups works on the computational linguistic modeling of discourse, rhetorical strategies and argumentation in naturally occurring communication.

Depending on the application area and task, we use a variety of methods from Natural Language Processing, from rule-based to stochastic and neural approaches for modeling semantic and pragmatic information in dialogical settings.

Institute for Methods and methodological Principles in the Social Sciences

The research group uses computational social science methods to study social phenomena. Also, we rely on experimental procedures to disentangle causal relations.
