Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The concept of explanation has received attention from different areas in Computer Science, particularly in the knowledge-based systems and expert systems communities. At the same time, argumentation has evolved as a new paradigm for conceptualizing commonsense reasoning, resulting in the formalization of different argumentation frameworks and the development of several real-world argument-based applications. Although the notions of explanation and argument for a claim share many common elements in knowledge-based systems their interrelationships have not yet been formally studied in the context of the current argumentation research in Artificial Intelligence. This article explores these ideas by providing a new perspective on how to formalize dialectical explanation support for argument-based reasoning. To do this, we propose a formalization of explanations for abstract argumentation frameworks with dialectical constraints where different emerging properties are studied and analyzed. As a concrete example of the formalism introduced we show how it can be fleshed out in an implemented rule-based argumentation system. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
