Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Snaith is a Senior Lecturer and MSc Artificial Intelligence Course Leader at Robert Gordon University with over a decade of research and teaching experience in computational models of argument and dialogue. His PhD work developed an AGM-inspired model of argument revision that uniquely balances minimal change with practical dialogue move selection, a foundation he has extended into tools and systems for argumentation. He investigates dialogue dynamics, extraction and analysis of dialogue structures, and pragmatic dialogue strategies, often targeting real-world applications in health, law, and education. Mark combines rigorous theoretical work with applied implementations, guiding students to translate formal models into usable systems. Based in Dundee, Scotland, he bridges academic research and curricular leadership while maintaining an active interest in interdisciplinary deployments of argumentation technology.
