Generating and Detecting Persuasive Rhetoric [via Argumentation Community Group]

The topic of persuasion in dialog systems and conversational user interfaces is
important. How can software detect persuasion in rhetoric and dialog?

In Opinion Polling Systems and Virtual Opinion Pollsters, I broached dialog
systems which interact with users to collect their opinions. Presented was that
virtual pollsters should adhere to the best practices of survey methodology and
questionnaire construction, cognizant of questionnaire construction issues,
question wording issues, question sequence issues and other similar issues with
dialogs.

A broader matter is one of detecting persuasion, persuasion occurring in
documents, dialogs and transcripts, persuasion from humans and from natural
language generation and dialog systems. For those interested, some publications
are indicated on the topics of persuasion, generating persuasive rhetoric, and
detecting persuasive rhetoric.
