Abstract
This work aims to respond to the profound lack of dialogue between citizenship and policy making institutions by proposing a novel solution that enables the transition to inclusive, transparent, accountable and trustworthy deliberation practices. The proposed solution builds on cutting-edge AI tools and technologies to develop a sustainable digital platform, and bridges theories from the fields of argumentation and digital democracy. It may transform scattered islands of emerging knowledge and practices, as well as fragmented discussion threads, into an integrated and coherent dialogue, and provides mechanisms for expanding this dialogue and converting it into tangible actions. Much attention is paid to issues related to knowledge extraction, knowledge graph-based representation of large-scale deliberation, argument mining, aggregation and visualization, as well as to explanation and awareness services about the evolution and outcome of a deliberation.
