Abstract
Dialogical argumentation allows agents to interact by constructing
and evaluating arguments through a dialogue. Numerous proposals
have been made for protocols for dialogical argumentation, and
recently there is interest in developing better strategies for agents to
improve their own outcomes from the interaction by using an opponent
model to guide their strategic choices. However, there is a lack of clear
formal reasons for why or how such a model might be useful, or how it
can be maintained. In this paper, we consider a simple type of persuasion
dialogue, investigate options for using and updating an opponent model,
and identify conditions under which such use of a model is beneficial.
