Machine Learning for Argument-Based Computational Persuasion

This repo contains the source code and a benchmark for predicting user's utilities with Machine Learning techniques for Computational Persuasion

Requirements

The following packages are required:

• numpy, tested with version 1.19.5
• matplotlib, tested with version 3.3.4
• sklearn, tested with version 0.24.1
• pandas, tested with version 1.1.5

Usage

Type:

 $ python3 experiments_util_prediction_parallel.py -p ${parallelism_flag}

where ${parallelism_flag} can be True or False whether you want to run the experiments using all the available CPUs in your machine.

To run the simulations. Type:

 $ python3 meat_example_experiments.py

to run the experiment with the red meat case study.
