The article presents an agent-based model (ABM) of scientific interaction aimed at
examining how different degrees of connectedness of scientists impact their efficiency in …

In this paper we examine the epistemic value of highly idealized agent-based models
(ABMs) of social aspects of scientific inquiry. On the one hand, we argue that taking the …

In this paper we present an agent-based model (ABM) of scientific inquiry aimed at
investigating how different social networks impact the efficiency of scientists in acquiring …

This paper develops a natural-language agent-based model of argumentation (ABMA). Its
artificial deliberative agents (ADAs) are constructed with the help of so-called neural …

In this paper I examine the epistemic function of agent-based models (ABMs) of scientific
inquiry, proposed in the recent philosophical literature. In view of Boero and Squazzoni's …

This paper examines lessons obtained by means of simulations in the form of agent-based
models (ABMs) about the norms that are to guide disagreeing scientists. I focus on two types …

In this paper, we present an agent-based model for studying the impact of'myside bias' on
the argumentative dynamics in scientific communities. Recent insights in cognitive science …

We argue that inductive analysis (based on formal learning theory and the use of suitable
machine learning reconstructions) and operational (citation metrics-based) assessment of …

Social Epistemology is a branch of philosophy which explores the impact of social life and
organisation on the pursuit of truth [1]. Agent-based simulation is a compelling tool for …

Abstract Abstract Argumentation Frameworks are a useful tool for modelling argumentative
dynamics in agent-based models, and the recent introduction of gradual argumentation …
