TOWARDS AVERAGE-CASE ALGORITHMS FOR ABSTRACT ARGUMENTATION

Abstract

Algorithms for abstract argumentation are created without extensive consideration of average-case analysis. Likewise, thorough empirical studies have been rarely implemented to analyze these algorithms. This paper presents average-case methods in the context of value-based argumentation frameworks. These methods solve decision problems related to arguments’ acceptability. Experiments have shown indications of an improved average-case behavior in comparison to the naive ones.
