AVERs: an argument visualization tool for representing stories about evidence

This paper proposes an architecture for a sense-making system for crime investigation named AVERs (Argument Visualization for Evidential Reasoning based on stories). It is targeted at crime investigators who may use it to explain initially observed facts by drawing links between these facts and hypothesized events, and to connect the thus created stories to evidence through argumentation. AVERs draws on a combination of ideas from visualizing argumentation and anchored narratives theory.
