An argument-based approach to reasoning with specificity

An argument-based approach to reasoning with specificity

We present a new priority-based approach to reasoning with specificity which subsumes inheritance reasoning. The new approach differs from other priority-based approaches in the literature in the way priority between defaults is handled. Here, it is conditional rather than unconditional as in other approaches. We show that any unconditional handling of priorities between defaults as advocated i...

An argument-based approach to reasoning with clinical knowledge

Better use of biomedical knowledge is an increasingly pressing concern for tackling challenging diseases and for generally improving the quality of healthcare. The quantity of biomedical knowledge is enormous and it is rapidly increasing. Furthermore, in many areas it is incomplete and inconsistent. The development of techniques for representing and reasoning with biomedical knowledge is theref...

An Argument - Based Approa h to Reasoning with Spe

An Argumentation-theoretic Approach to Reasoning with Specificity

We present a new argumentation-theoretic approach to default reasoning with speci-city. The new approach diiers from other approaches in the way priority between defaults is handled. Here, it is context sensitive rather than context independent as in other approaches. We start by showing that any context independent handling of priorities between defaults as advocated in the literature until no...

A Bayesian Approach to Argument-Based Reasoning for Attack Estimation

The web is a source of a large amount of arguments and their acceptability statuses (e.g., votes for and against the arguments). However, relations existing between the fore-mentioned arguments are typically not available. This study investigates the utilisation of acceptability semantics to statistically estimate an attack relation between arguments wherein the acceptability statuses of argume...
