Research on intelligent systems that can explain their inferences and decisions to (human
and machine) users has emerged as an important subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this
context, the interest in symbolic and hybrid approaches to AI and their ability to facilitate ex-
plainable and trustworthy reasoning and decision-making – often in combination with machine
learning algorithms – is increasing. Computational argumentation is considered a particularly
promising paradigm for facilitating explainable AI (XAI). This trend is reflected by the fact that
many researchers who study argumentation have started to i) apply argumentation as a method
of explainable reasoning; ii) combine argumentation with other subfields of AI, such as knowl-
edge representation and reasoning (KR) and machine learning (ML), to facilitate the latter’s
explainability; iii) study explainability properties of argumentation; iv) move from explainable
AI to contestable AI, by facilitating not only explainability but also human intervention. Given
the substantial interest in these different facets of argumentative XAI, this workshop aims at
providing a forum for focused discussions of the recent developments on the topic.
These workshop proceedings feature five papers (out of eight submitted), covering diverse
perspectives on argumentative explainability. The works’ topics range from formal argumen-
tation dialogues, via applications of argumentative explainability to e.g. image classification,
to human factors. We thank all the authors of the submitted papers, our keynote speaker
AnneMarie Borg, as well as the reviewers of the submitted papers (listed below) for making the
2𝑛𝑑 edition of the workshop a success.
