On the Limitations of Abstract Argumentation

چکیده
In the current paper we re-examine the three-step procedure with respect to argumentation for inference. It is observed that when viewing the argumentation process in a holistic way, one encounters several problems that tend to be overlooked when restricting oneself to pure abstract argumentation. We describe three such problems, which have to do with the interaction between abstract argumentation and instantiated (structured) arguments. We argue that these problems are related to fundamental limitations in the approach of abstract argumentation.

On Relating Abstract and Structured Probabilistic Argumentation: a Case Study (corrected version)
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...

متن کاملSome Reflections on Two Current Trends in Formal Argumentation
This paper discusses two recent developments in the formal study of argumentation-based inference: work on preference-based abstract argumentation and on classical (deductive) argumentation. It is first argued that general models of the use of preferences in argumentation cannot leave the structure of arguments and the nature of attack and defeat unspecified. Then it is claimed that classical a...
متن کاملRelating Concrete Argumentation Formalisms and Abstract Argumentation
There are a wide variety of formalisms for defeasible reasoning that can be seen as implementing concrete argumentation on defeasible rules. However there has been little work on the relationship between such languages and Dung’s abstract argumentation. In this paper we identify two small fragments on which many concrete defeasible formalisms agree. The two fragments are closely related, as we ...
متن کاملOn the Difference between Assumption-based Argumentation and Abstract Argumentation
In the current paper, we re-examine the connection between abstract argumentation and assumption-based argumentation. These two formalisms are often claimed to be equivalent in the sense that (a) evaluating an assumption based argumentation framework directly with the dedicated semantics, and (b) first constructing the corresponding abstract argumentation framework and then applying the corresp...
