Ruis, Andrew R.; Lee, Seung B. (Ed.)While quantitative ethnographers have used epistemic network analysis (ENA) to model trajectories that show change in network structure over time, visualizing trajectory models in a way that facilitates accurate interpretation has been a significant challenge. As a result, ENA has predominantly been used to construct aggregate models, which can obscure key differences in how network structures change over time. This study reports on the development and testing of a new approach to visualizing ENA trajectories. It documents the challenges associated with visualizing ENA trajectory models, the features constructed to address those challenges, and the design decisions that aid in the interpretation of trajectory models. To test this approach, we compare ENA trajectory models with aggregate models using a dataset with previously published results and known temporal features. This comparison focuses on interpretability and consistency with prior qualitative analysis, and we show that ENA trajectories are able to represent information unavailable in aggregate models and facilitate interpretations consistent with qualitative findings. This suggests that this approach to ENA trajectories is an effective tool for representing change in network structure over time.more » « less

The paper introduces the notion of an epistemic argumentation framework (EAF) as a means to integrate the beliefs of a reasoner with argumentation. Intuitively, an EAF encodes the beliefs of an agent who reasons about arguments. Formally, an EAF is a pair of an argumentation framework and an epistemic constraint. The semantics of the EAF is defined by the notion of an -epistemic labelling set, where is complete, stable, grounded, or preferred, which is a set of -labellings that collectively satisfies the epistemic constraint of the EAF. The paper shows how EAF can represent different views of reasoners on the same argumentation framework. It also includes representing preferences in EAF and multi-agent argumentation. Finally, the paper discusses the complexity of the problem of determining whether or not an -epistemic labelling set exists.more » « less
