Using Distances for Aggregation in Abstract Argumentation
نویسنده
چکیده
We continue recent work on the problem of aggregating labellings of an argumentation framework by adapting the distance-based framework of Miller and Osherson from binary judgment aggregation to the argumentation setting. To instantiate the framework we employ some notions of labellingdistance recently introduced by Booth et al., in the process generalising and extending some of the latters’ results. We introduce some new postulates for distance methods based on the concept of qualitative distance, and check their validity.

Judgment Aggregation in Abstract Dialectical Frameworks
Abstract dialectical frameworks (ADFs) are a knowledge representation formalism introduced as a generalisation of Dung’s abstract argumentation frameworks (AFs) by Gerhard Brewka and coauthors. We look at a judgment aggregation problem in ADFs, namely the problem of aggregating a profile of complete interpretations. We generalise the family of interval aggregation methods, studied in the AF cas...
متن کاملPreservation of Semantic Properties during the Aggregation of Abstract Argumentation Frameworks
An abstract argumentation framework can be used to model the argumentative stance of an agent at a high level of abstraction, by indicating for every pair of arguments that is being considered in a debate whether the first attacks the second. When modelling a group of agents engaged in a debate, we may wish to aggregate their individual argumentation frameworks to obtain a single such framework...
متن کاملOn the Aggregation of Argumentation Frameworks
We study the problem of aggregation of Dung’s abstract argumentation frameworks. Some operators for this aggregation have been proposed, as well as some rationality properties for this process. In this work we study the existing operators and new ones that we propose in light of the proposed properties, highlighting the fact that existing operators do not satisfy a lot of these properties. The ...
متن کاملArgument Aggregation: Basic Axioms and Complexity Results
Argument aggregation is the problem of combining argumentation frameworks. An argument aggregation procedure takes as input an argument framework for each agent in a system, intuitively representing the beliefs of that agent with respect to a disputed domain of discourse; the output is an argumentation framework that represents the social position on the domain of discourse. There are clear ana...
متن کاملA Liberal Impossibility of Abstract Argumentation
In abstract argumentation, where arguments are viewed as abstract entities with a binary defeat relation among them, a set of agents may assign individual members the right to determine the collective defeat relation on some pairs of arguments. I prove that even under a minimal condition of rationality, the assignment of rights to two or more agents is inconsistent with the unanimity principle,...
