In this paper we introduce a notion of limited blameworthiness, with a constraint on the amount of sacrifice required to prevent the outcome. The main technical contribution is a sound and complete logical system for reasoning about limited blameworthiness in the strategic game setting.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2022/355","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/355","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/0355.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/355.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/bibtex/355","volume":{"slug":"2022","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2022","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/","year":2022,"location":"Vienna","dates":"23-29 July 2022","editors":"Luc De Raedt","isbn":"978-1-956792-00-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2022"},"section":"Knowledge Representation and Reasoning","track":"Main Track","number":355,"pages":{"first":2561,"last":2567},"keywords":["Knowledge Representation and Reasoning: Reasoning about actions"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Alechina et al., 2011] Natasha Alechina, Brian Logan, Hoang Nga Nguyen, and Abdur Rakib.
