Abstract: Decision makers and analysts often use informal, linguistic concepts when they talk about a case: they tell the story that explains the evidence, or argue against a particular interpretation of the evidence. On the other hand, mathematicians and logicians present formal frameworks to precisely capture and support reasoning about evidence.

In this talk, I will show how different Artificial Intelligence techniques can be used to close the gap between these two extremes - messy, informal natural language and specific, well-defined formalisms such as Bayesian Networks.
