However, relations existing between the fore-mentioned arguments are typically not available. This study investigates the utilisation of acceptability semantics to statistically estimate an attack relation between arguments wherein the acceptability statuses of arguments are provided. A Bayesian network model of argument-based reasoning is defined in which Dung's theory of abstract argumentation gives the substance of Bayesian inference. The model correctness is demonstrated by analysing properties of estimated attack relations and illustrating its applicability to online forums.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/36","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/36","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0036.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/36.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/36","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems","track":"Main track","number":36,"pages":{"first":249,"last":255},"keywords":["Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Logic: Computational models of Argument","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Agreement Technologies: Argumentation","Machine Learning: Machine Learning"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Bex and Renooij, 2016] Floris Bex and Silja Renooij.
