Dispute Mediation Workshop
9-10 March 2015, Queen Mother Building, School of Computing Dundee.
ARG-tech will be hosting a 2-day workshop on practical applications and uses of technology in mediation practice. The main aim of the workshop is to bring together academics and practicing mediators to identify key challenges and avenues to solutions, in order to build a roadmap for worldwide research and development in this crucial area.
Olena Yaskorska is visiting ARG-tech from the beginning of February until the end of June 2015. Olena is currently a PhD student at the Polish National Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Katarzyna Budzynska, though she comes to ARG-tech almost directly from our colleagues at USI Lugano, where she has been based for the past year.
Olena is working on models of argument in dialogue and particularly on their automatic recognition.
We are delighted that Barbara (Basia) Konat today joins ARG-tech, employed on the TSB-funded Argument Analytics project.
She will be working closely with the PI, Katarzyna Budzynska and the company partner, J & L Technology Ltd.
