Argumentatin is one of the major fields in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The concept of abstract Argumentation Frameworks (AFs) has been introduced by Phan Minh Dung in 1995. There arguments together with a binary relation called attacks are the only components one needs to represent and reason over conficting knowledge. In this couse the students should get an oververview over the actual research topics in the field of (abstract) argumentation. After an introduction on the basic concepts the student will review recent topics (selected papers from the latest conferences and journals) and present them in a 30 min talk at the end of the semester.
List of possible topics:
- Instantiations of Argumentation Frameworks,
- Loops in argumentation frameworks,
- Evaluation criteria for argumentation semantics,
- Realizability,
- Translations,
- Equivalences in AFs,
- Argumentation and Answer-Set Programming (ASP),
- SAT-Procedures for AFs,
- Argumentation Systems,
- Practical Applications of Argumentation Theory,
- Abstract Dialectical Frameworks (ADFs)
Organization
After some introductory lectures on the basics of abstract argumentation the students will select their topics. The seminar is scheduled for Friday, 09:20-10:50 (DS 2) in room APB E005.
On Friday 28th November at 15:00 there will be a guest talk by Claudia Schulz (see Explaining_Answer_Sets_using_Argumentation_Theory).
