Preference Reasoning for Argumentation: Non-monotonicity and Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we are interested in the role of preferences in argumentation theory. To promote a higher impact of preference reasoning in argumentation, we introduce a novel preference-based argumentation theory. Using non-monotonic preference reasoning we derive a Dung-style attack relation from a preference specification together with a defeat relation. In particular, our theory uses efficient algorithms computing acceptable arguments via a unique preference relation among arguments from a preference relation among sets of argu-

Redefining Knowledge in a Way Suitable for Argumentation Theory
Knowledge plays an important role in argumentation. Yet, recent work shows that standard conceptions of knowledge in epistemology may not be entirely suitable for argumentation. This paper explores the role of knowledge in argumentation, and proposes a notion of knowledge that promises to be more suitable for argumentation by taking account of: its dynamic nature, the defeasibility of our commi...
متن کاملPreferential model and argumentation semantics
Although the preferential model semantics is the standard semantics for non-monotonic reasoning systems, it is not used for argumentation frameworks. For argumentation frameworks, instead, argumentation semantics are used. This paper studies the relation between the two types of semantics. Several argumentation semantics are related to additional constraints on the preference relation over stat...
متن کاملArgumentation with Abduction
This paper presents a general approach to combining argumentation and abduction where the different uses of argumentation for preference reasoning and abduction for reasoning under incomplete information are synthesized together in an enhancing way. This integrated approach of argumentation and abduction can form the basis for encoding adaptable preference policies in the face of incomplete inf...
متن کاملArgumentation for Answer Set Programming and other Non-monotonic Reasoning Systems
During my PhD I will compare various non-monotonic reasoning systems and analyse their advantages as well as their shortcomings. This will lead to the combination of different approaches in order to overcome their individual deficiencies and create more powerful reasoning tools. A special focus will be on preference-handling strategies in these non-monotonic reasoning systems. My current work i...
متن کاملPreference-based argumentation: Arguments supporting multiple values
In preference-based argumentation theory, an argument may be preferred to another one when, for example, it is more specific, its beliefs have a higher probability or certainty, or it promotes a higher value. In this paper we generalize Bench-Capon’s value-based argumentation theory such that arguments can promote multiple values, and preferences among values or arguments can be specified in va...
