More on Presumptions and Burdens of Proof
2008
Social Science Research Network
In the jurisprudential literature different accounts of this issue have been given: some have argued that a presumption is nullified by counterarguments while others have maintained that this gives presumptions ...
This paper extends our previous logical analysis of presumptions and burden of proof by studying the force of a presumption once counterevidence has been offered. ...
The strength of the proof standard is implicit in the reasons for moving or not moving the exclusion attack. ...

Informalizing Formal Logic
2019
Informal Logic
This paper presents a way in which formal logic can be understood and reformulated in terms of argumentation that can help us unify formal and informal reasoning. ...
Classical deductive reasoning will be expressed entirely in terms of notions and concepts from argumentation so that formal logical entailment is equivalently captured via the arguments that win between ...
Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Francesca Toni, Paolo Mancarella and Loizos Michael for their continued collaboration on argumentation on which much of this paper rests. ...

Explaining Argumentation over Alignment Agreements
2013
2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conferences on Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technologies (IAT)
This is an author-deposited version published in : http://oatao.univ-toulouse.fr/ Eprints ID : 12954 To link to this article : Abstract-Argumentation frameworks have been used as tools for reconciliating ...
This paper presents a mechanism for providing explanations on the way agreed alignments are established. Our mechanism is based on tracing each step of the argumentation process. ...
They proposed a dialectical proof based explanation, based on Dung's framework, for explaining the acceptability of arguments. ...

A taxonomy of argumentation models used for knowledge representation
2010
Artificial Intelligence Review
In this paper, we propose such a conceptual framework, based on taxonomy of the most important argumentation models, approaches and systems found in the literature. ...
Such a framework would be very useful 2 especially for researchers and practitioners who want to select appropriate argumentation models or techniques to be incorporated in new software systems with argumentation ...
Acknowledgements This work has been carried out with the partial support of the Canadian National Defence ...

Considering Carneades as a Framework for Informal Logic: A Reply to Walton and Gordon
2016
Informal Logic
Since their proposal is based on employing the Carneades Argumentation System (CAS), this paper aims at answering two questions: what are main benefits of applying CAS as means for formalizing informal ...

Quantitative Argumentation Debates with Votes for Opinion Polling
[chapter]
2017
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Our method relies upon Quantitative Argumentation Debate for Voting (QuAD-V) frameworks, which extend QuAD frameworks (a form of bipolar argumentation frameworks in which arguments have an intrinsic strength ...
Argumentation, as understood in AI, can be used to evaluate opinions in dialectical exchanges, transparently articulating the reasoning behind the opinions. ...
To the best of our knowledge, no existing opinion polling system/method takes into account evaluation of the dialectical strength of the opinions given voters' responses. ...

A formal model of adjudication dialogues
2008
Artificial Intelligence and Law
The model allows for explicit decisions on admissibility of evidence and burden of proof by the adjudicator in the argumentation phase. ...
Existing AI & law models of legal dialogues and argumentation-theoretic models of persuasion are extended with a neutral third party, to give a more realistic account of the adjudicator's role in legal ...
I thank Tom Gordon, Chris Reed, Giovanni Sartor, Burkhard Schäfer and Doug Walton for useful discussions on the various aspects of burden of proof. ...

On Degrees of Justification
2011
Erkenntnis: An International Journal of Scientific Philosophy
This paper gives an explication of our intuitive notion of strength of justification in a controversial debate. ...
It defines a thesis' degree of justification within the bipolar argumentation framework of the theory of dialectical structures as the ratio of coherently adoptable positions according to which that thesis ...

Argumentation structures that integrate dialectical and non-dialectical reasoning
2001
Knowledge engineering review (Print)
For example, a variety of logics have been developed to represent argumentation in the context of a dialectical situation such as a dialogue. ...
Systems based on our approach have been developed in family law, refugee law, determining eligibility for government legal aid, copyright law and e-tourism. ...
Their main objective was to develop a system that could model the burden of proof concept in legal reasoning. ...

The Carneades model of argument and burden of proof
2007
Artificial Intelligence
Our approach allows the burden of proof for a premise to be assigned to a different party than the one who has the burden of proving the conclusion of the argument, and also to change the burden of proof ...
Useful for modeling legal dialogues, the burden of production and burden of persuasion can be handled separately, with a different responsible party and applicable proof standard for each. ...

Dynamics of Knowledge in DeLP through Argument Theory Change
[article]
2011
arXiv
pre-print
Argument Theory Change (ATC) studies certain aspects of belief revision in order to make them suitable for abstract argumentation systems. ...
The objective of our proposal is to define prioritized argument revision operators \'a la ATC for de.l.p.s, in such a way that the newly inserted argument ends up undefeated after the revision, thus warranting ...
A strong restriction is posed: the newly added argument must have at most one interaction (via attack) with an argument in the system. ...

An informant-based approach to argument strength in Defeasible Logic Programming
2020
Argument & Computation
In other words, the strength of an argument may vary from one context to another, as it will be determined by comparison to its attacking arguments (respectively, the arguments it attacks). ...
Moreover, we consider that the strength of an argument is not absolute, but it is relative to the resolution of the conflicts the argument is involved in. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank the reviewers for their helpful and insightful comments on the previous versions of this paper. ...

Collective Decision-Making Process to Compose Divergent Interests and Perspectives
2005
Artificial Intelligence and Law
This framework bounds a dialectics system in which argumentative agents play and arbitrate to reach an agreement. ...
For this purpose, we propose an argumentation-based reasoning to manage the conflicts between arguments having different strengths for different agents. ...
Since the agents individually evaluate the strength of arguments, an agent can ignore the attack of an argument over another argument. ...

Formalisation and logical properties of the maximal ideal recursive semantics for weighted defeasible logic programming
2015
Journal of experimental and theoretical artificial intelligence (Print)
Recently in [2], we have proposed a new semantics for P-DeLP based on a general notion of collective (non-binary) conflict among arguments and on the claim that the acceptance of an argument should imply ...
A relevant example of this last kind of tools is Parmenides [14] , that follows an structured approach to propose arguments in a debate and uses valued abstract argumentation frameworks [15] for analyzing ...
In P-DeLP warranted conclusions are justifiable conclusions which remain undefeated after an exhaustive dialectical analysis of all possible arguments for an against and only binary attacks or defeat relations ...
