A Principle-based Analysis of Abstract Agent Argumentation Semantics

Liuwen Yu, Dongheng Chen, Lisha Qiao, Yiqi Shen, Leendert van der Torre · 2021

Abstract agent argumentation frameworks extend Dung’s theory with agents, and in this paper we study four types of semantics for them. First, agent defense semantics replaces Dung’s notion of defense by some kind of agent defense. Second, social agent semantics prefers arguments that belong to more agents. Third, agent reduction semantics considers the perspective of individual agents. Fourth, agent filtering semantics are inspired by a lack of knowledge. We study five existing principles and we introduce twelve new ones. In total, we provide a full analysis of fifty-two agent semantics and the seventeen principles.
