A Weighted Bipolar Argumentation Framework and its ASP-based Implementation

Watch this 23-minute conference talk from the 27th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL'25) that introduces a novel Weighted Bipolar Argumentation Framework (WBAF). Explore how this framework handles attack and support relations equally while considering the weight of arguments and relations, representing a more general extension of classical Argumentation Frameworks. Learn about the semantics of WBAF through minimum-penalty preferred extensions, which identify maximal acceptable argument sets. Discover the ASP-based WBAF reasoning tool (ASPWBART) developed by researchers from Southeast University in Nanjing, which supports weighted arguments and relations while generating minimum-penalty preferred extensions. This presentation is part of the ACM SIGPLAN-sponsored PADL 2025 conference held in January 2025.
