Convince Me Description

Free and open source program for generating and analyzing arguments Convince Me is a free and open source Java application used for for generating and analyzing arguments. Convince Me uses a connectionist model, called ECHO, to provide feedback on the coherence of the arguments entered into the application.Convince Me guides people to cyclically (1) categorize their own propositions as either evidence or hypotheses, (2) indicate the reliability of their various evidence, (3) connect their propositions with both explanatory and contradictory/competitive links, and (4) rate each proposition's believability. After each (1-4) cycle, users can elicit feedback from a connectionist model, called ECHO, to help improve the coherence of their arguments. Studies suggest that although the distinguishing characteristics of data and theory are vague, even for experts who study scientific reasoning professionally.Convince Me lends a sophistication to novices' discriminative criteria across contexts, making their epistemic categorizations more expert-like both during, and after, its use. Requirements: · Java What's New in This Release: · Fixed XML import bug and added XML version of ice cubes argument.
