Furthermore, each argument has a weight reflecting its basic or intrinsic strength. For the sake of generality, the internal structure of arguments and the origin of arguments and their weights are unspecified. The paper tackles for the first time the question of evaluating the overall strengths of arguments in such graphs, thus of defining semantics for support graphs. It introduces a set of axioms that any semantics should satisfy. Then, it defines three semantics and evaluates them against the axioms.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/132","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/0132.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/132.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/bibtex/132","volume":{"slug":"2016","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2016","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/","year":2016,"location":"New York, NY, USA","dates":"9–15 July 2016","editors":"Subbarao Kambhampati","isbn":"978-1-57735-770-4; 978-1-57735-771-1","publisher":"AAAI Press / International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":132,"pages":{"first":900,"last":905},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Amgoud and Ben-Naim, 2013] Leila Amgoud and Jonathan Ben-Naim.
