Generating Rebuttals for Anti-Science Arguments in Public Discourse
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
Anti-science arguments are a growing concern in today’s society. Vaccine hesitancy and climate change skepticism are some of the arguments that have promulgated rapidly. In this project, we aim to develop an efficient rebuttal mechanism to tackle these arguments. We would explore the idea of ‘attitude roots’ which have been studied by psychologists as the underlying worldview or opinions that help these anti-science arguments persist.
