用于辩证分析的多方对话协议

Multilateral Dialogue Protocol for Dialectical Analysis

在基于辩论的多agent系统研究中,agent之间的对话博弈一般是双方的,然而现实中的辩论却常常涉及到多方参与者,如何实现多agent系统的多方对话博弈是当前的研究热点之一。用于多方论据博弈的辩证分析模型(DAM-MAG)是一种借鉴中国武术擂台比武思想,将多方对话博弈转化为若干个双方对话博弈的理论模型。DAM-MAG的难点在于多方对话博弈协议的设计和实现。为此,基于该理论模型提出了一种多方对话博弈协议。该协议提供了通过双方对话博弈来解决多方对话博弈问题的方法,为解决多agent系统的多方对话博弈提供了新的途径。

In the research of argumentation based multi-agent system（MAS）, to best knowledge, dialogue games are generally two-party protocol. However, argumentation in real world application usually involves more than two parties. The study on multilateral dialogue games in multi-agent system is one of current hotspots. Inspired by the idea of challenge on arena in Wushu（Chinese martial arts）, dialectic analysis model for multilateral argument game （DAM-MAG） provides a theoretical model by translating a multilateral argument games into several two-party dia- logue games. Based on this model, this paper carries out a study on multilateral dialogue games and proposes a formal multilateral dialogue system, called MiDiS. The main contributions of the paper are twofold： A novel multilateral dialogue protocol for multilateral dialectical analysis is proposed; meanwhile a new approach for multilateral dialogue games in MAS is also provided.
