On the Intertranslatability of Argumentation Semantics

The Power of Non-Ground Rules in Answer Set Programming

State-of-the-art answer set programming (ASP) solvers rely on a program called a grounder to convert non-ground programs containing variables into variable-free, propositional programs.

Counting Answer Sets via Dynamic Programming

no code implementations22 Dec 2016 Johannes Fichte, Markus Hecher, Michael Morak, Stefan Woltran

While the solution counting problem for propositional satisfiability (#SAT) has received renewed attention in recent years, this research trend has not affected other AI solving paradigms like answer set programming (ASP).

Powerful formalisms for abstract argumentation have been proposed, among them abstract dialectical frameworks (ADFs) that allow for a succinct and flexible specification of the relationship between arguments, and the GRAPPA framework which allows argumentation scenarios to be represented as arbitrary edge-labelled graphs.
