Our review of the literature identi􀀂ed two broad themes representing the purpose of the interaction between these two areas: argumentation for machine learning and machine learning for argumentation. Across these two themes, we systematically evaluate the spectrum of works across various dimensions, including the type of learning and the form of argumentation framework used. Further, we identify three types of interaction between these two areas: synergistic approaches, where the Argumentation and Machine Learning components are tightly integrated; segmented approaches, where the two are interleaved such that the outputs of one are the inputs of the other; and approximated approaches, where one component shadows the other at  \n*Equal contribution.  \n􀀐  \nRAGO , CYRAS, MUMFORD & COCARASCU   \na chosen level of detail. We draw conclusions about the suitability of certain forms of Argumentation for supporting certain types of Machine Learning, and vice versa, with clear patterns emerging from the review.  \nWhilst the reviewed works provide inspiration for successfully combining the two 􀀂elds of research, we also identify and discuss limitations and challenges that ought to be addressed in order to ensure that they remain a fruitful pairing as AI advances.  \n1 Introduction  \nIn this chapter, we overview research works that combine Computational Argumentation (henceforth simply argumentation) and Machine Learning (ML) . In this section, we start with a general outlook of the themes and trends prevalent among the individual works overviewed in the chapter, including a loose categorisation of three types of interactions between ML an argumentation models, before brie􀀃y covering related work and papers we chose to omit. We then move on to our literature overview in §2 which we split by broad themes of the purposes of the interactions between ML and argumentation, brie􀀃y discussing promising research avenues. Finally, we conclude in §3 .  \nWe assume the reader to be familiar with forms and frameworks of argumentation, e.g. as discussed in the 1st Volume of the Handbook of Formal Argumentation (Baroni et al., 2018), and fundamentals of and common methods in ML, as easily accessible e.g. on Wikipedia.  \n1.1 Outlook  \nStudies that consider interactions of argumentation and ML exhibit the following trends. Starting with ML characteristics, the type of learning employed is largely supervised, though there are instances of works that consider unsupervised as well as both un/supervised types of learning, and a reasonable amount of works that focus on Reinforcement Learning (RL) . In terms of ML models and algorithms employed, it is typical, but not exclusively so, to make use of simpler techniques and architectures, such as rule learning (including both rule induction and rule extraction), tree-based models (such as decision trees (DTs) and random forests (RFs)), naive Bayesian classi􀀂ers (NBCs), support vector machines (SVMs), (usually shallow and/or feed-forward) neural networks (NNs) and model-based RL. Some recent works though opt for modern com-  \nARGUMENTATION AND MACHINE LEARNING  \nplex models, in particular graph neural networks (GNNs), typically available off-the-shelf.
