What do you mean? Eliciting enthymemes in text-based dialogue

Abstract:

We report a proof of concept text-based chat study which inserts spoof questions in a real time conversation in order to elicit participants reasoning. The results show that different questions are more or less effective at eliciting explicit enthymematic reasons, which is a technique that could be employed to augment conversational artificial intelligence systems to improve their reasoning abilities.
