Preliminary notions of arguments from commonsense knowledge

The field of Computational Argumentation is well-tailored to approach commonsense reasoning, due to its ability to model contradictory information. In this paper, we present preliminary work on how an argumentation framework can explicitly model commonsense knowledge, both at a logically structured and at an abstract level. We discuss the correlation with current research and present interesting future directions

Abstract Argumentation Frameworks with Domain Assignments

Argumentative discourse rarely consists of opinions whose claims apply universally. As with logical statements, an argument applies to specific objects in the universe or relations among them, and may have exceptions. In this paper, we propose an argumentation formalism that allows associating arguments with a domain of application. Appropriate semantics are given, which formalise the notion of partial argument acceptance, i.e., the set of objects or relations that an argument can be applied to. We show that our proposal is in fact equivalent to the standard Argumentation Frameworks of Dung, but allows a more intuitive and compact expression of some core concepts of commonsense and non-monotonic reasoning, such as the scope of an argument, exceptions, relevance and others

A Multi Attack Argumentation Framework

This paper presents a novel abstract argumentation framework, called Multi-Attack Argumentation Framework (MAAF), which supports different types of attacks. The introduction of types gives rise to a new family of non-standard semantics which can support applications that classical approaches cannot, while also allowing classical semantics as a special case. The main novelty of the proposed semantics is the discrimination among two different roles that attacks play, namely an attack as a generator of conflicts, and an attack as a means to defend an argument. These two roles have traditionally been considered together in the argumentation literature. Allowing some attack types to serve one of those roles only, gives rise to the different semantics presented here

Paphos and Western Cyprus : 1191 to 1571

This thesis grew out of an increasing interest in the medieval finds that were being discovered on the Theatre site at Paphos and in general for the eastern Mediterranean at the time of the Crusades

Sur un cas de tétramérose hépatique du singe

Un cas de tétramérose hépatique est décrit chez une guenon Mandrillus sp., dans le Puy-de-Dôme (France). L’espèce responsable Tetrameres fissispina (Diesing, 1861), Travassos, 1914, peut être considérée comme un « parasite transfuge »

Position -specific Physical Performance of Professional Players during Full-Season Matches in a Greek Superleague Elite Team

The aim of the present study was to examine how various playing positions and opponent team ranking affect the covered distances and the acceleration and decelerations profile of a team during 2018-2019 Greek SuperLeague. StatSport GPS system recorded in match-play real-time both the players' covered distances (m) and the number of acceleration/ deceleration runs (n) in zones from 3 m/s2to 10 m/s2. The descriptive statistics showed that the players' mean covered distances were 10,289 m per match. The MANOVA revealed significant differences of the players' covered distances in all intensity zones in relation to their playing positions (F(12, 513.567)= 41.862; p = 0.000) and the opponent team ranking ( F(3,189)= 3.687; p = 0.013). Furthermore, no significant interactions were observed between the playing positions and the opponent team ranking (F(12, 500.339)= 1.149; p = 0.318). Moreover, no significant differences were recorded regarding the opponent team ranking with the amount of accelerations (F(1,189)= 0.501; p = 0.480) and decelerations (F(1,189)= 1.342; p = 0.248). Summarizing, the current study showed the high-demanding competitive performance of midfielders, full backs and forwards regardless the standing of the opponent teams. Hence, the team's training must include special stimuli of aerobic and high-intensity workouts according to the players' playing positions in the match. © 2022 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
