A Survey on Probabilistic Argumentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most formal approaches to argumentative reasoning focus on the analysis of qualitative aspects. An exeption is the framework of probabilistic argumentation systems. Its philosophy is to include both qualitative and quantitative aspects of argumentation through a simple way of combining logic and probability theory. Probabilities are used to weigh arguments for and against a particular conclusion. The aim of this paper is to help establishing probabilistic argumentation as a legitimate formal model and a powerful tool for argumentation.

Probabilistic abstract argumentation: an investigation with Boltzmann machines
Probabilistic argumentation and neuro-argumentative systems offer new computational perspectives for the theory and applications of argumentation, but their principled construction involve two entangled problems. On the one hand, probabilistic argumentation aims at combining the quantitative uncertainty addressed by probability theory with the qualitative uncertainty of argumentation, but proba...

This paper investigates the relations between Timmer et al.’s proposal for explaining Bayesian networks with structured argumentation and abstract models of probabilistic argumentation. First some challenges are identified for incorporating probabilistic notions of argument strength in structured models of argumentation. Then it is investigated to what extent Timmer et al’s approach meets these...
