Weighted Assumption Based Argumentation to reason about ethical principles and actions

Artificial Intelligence 2025-06-24 v1

Abstract

We augment Assumption Based Argumentation (ABA for short) with weighted argumentation. In a nutshell, we assign weights to arguments and then derive the weight of attacks between ABA arguments. We illustrate our proposal through running examples in the field of ethical reasoning, and present an implementation based on Answer Set Programming.
