| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Argumentation is a computing mechanism internalizing both inference and communication from scratch. It is a fundamental mechanism for realizing social intelligence on a computer. So far, Dung’s abstract argumentation framework (AF) and its argumentation semantics have been considered as a most promising approach to computational argumentation. Many people have contributed many results towards its improvement, extension, reinterpretation and so on. We, however, observed some defects and weakness of his approach in the point that it only deals with a limited aspect of argumentation. That is, he presented a notion of argument acceptability based on argument attack only. Another important notion, argument support, is missing in his framework. In this work, we take an innovative approach to overcome this defect, which is inspired by the socio-psychological balance theory. We theorize a new argumentation semantics named the balanced semantics for argumentation, and its implementation.
