Rationality postulates: applying argumentation theory for non-monotonic reasoning
The current book chapter examines how to apply Dung’s
theory of abstract argumentation to define meaningful forms of nonmonotonic
inference. The idea is that arguments are constructed using
strict and defeasible inference rules, and that it is then examined
how these arguments attack (or defeat) each other. The thus defined
argumentation framework provides the basis for applying Dung-style semantics,
yielding a number of extensions of arguments. As each of the
constructed arguments has a conclusion, an extension of arguments has
an associated extension of conclusions. It are these extensions of conclusions
that we are interested in. In particular, we ask ourselves whether
each of these extensions is (1) consistent, (2) closed under the strict inference
rules and (3) free from undesired interference. We examine the
current generation of techniques to satisfy these properties, and identify
some research issues that are yet to be dealt with
