Visual representation tool for structured arguments
First Claim
1. A system for editing and displaying a structured argument, having a plurality of associated parameters, the system comprising:
- a user interface that graphically displays the plurality of parameters at a user accessible display and receives input from a user defining the value of a selected parameter; and
a computational engine that alters the selected parameter to the defined value, updates the plurality of parameters according to the defined value of the selected parameter, and provides the altered parameters to the user interface, such that the display is updated in real time to reflect the user input.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for editing and displaying a structured argument. An argument model comprises a plurality of parameters associated with a structured argument. A user interface graphically displays the plurality of parameters at a user accessible display and receives input from a user defining the value of a selected parameter. A computational engine alters the selected parameter to the defined value and updates the plurality of parameters according to the defined value of the selected parameter. The altered parameters are provided to the user interface, such that the display is updated in real time to reflect the user input.

16. A method for determining the sensitivity of a hypothesis of interest to a parameter within an argument model, comprising:
-
providing a continuous mechanism for a user to modify the parameter, such that the user can make multiple modifications to the parameter in rapid sequence;
updating a confidence value associated with the hypothesis of interest in response to the modification of the parameter; and
altering a display of the confidence value of the hypothesis of interest in real time to match the updated confidence value in response to each modification of the parameter. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system for editing and displaying a structured argument, comprising a plurality of parameters, comprising:
-
means for graphically displaying the plurality of parameters, each having an associated value;
means for receiving input from a user, the input comprising a request to modify respective values of at least one selected parameter from the plurality of parameters;
means for modifying the values of the at least one selected parameter and at least one other parameter from the plurality of parameters; and
means for updating the modified parameter values at the means for displaying in real time in response to the user input. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
