“…More recent work has considered different combinations of inputs and outputs to the problem. For example, [34] seeks to identify a set of initial weights for arguments based on the final argument preference ordering and argumentation semantics, while [27] determines the preferences between arguments given argument justification status, semantics and argumentation framework. In this paper, and as illustrated in the bottom portion of Fig.…”

A gradual semantics takes a weighted argumentation framework as input and outputs a final acceptability degree for each argument, with different semantics performing the computation in different manners. In this work, we consider the problem of attack inference. That is, given a gradual semantics, a set of arguments with associated initial weights, and the final desirable acceptability degrees associated with each argument, we seek to determine whether there is a set of attacks on those arguments such that we can obtain these acceptability degrees. The main contribution of our work is to demonstrate that the associated decision problem, i.e., whether a set of attacks can exist which allows the final acceptability degrees to occur for given initial weights, is NP-complete for the weighted h-categoriser and card-based semantics, and is polynomial for the weighted max-based semantics, even for the complete version of the problem (where all initial weights and final acceptability degrees are known). We then briefly discuss how this decision problem can be modified to find the attacks themselves and conclude by examining the partial problem where not all initial weights or final acceptability degrees may be known.

“…The Multi-Agent Programming Contest (MAPC) 5 is an annual competition aimed at advancing the state-of-the-art in terms of tools, programming languages, and methodologies for the engineering of MAS, in particular to try to bring forward the advantages of agent programming languages. Teams of agents compete against each other in a synchronous simulation, with every step lasting only a few seconds in which agents have to submit their actions for the next step.…”

“…One strand of active research involves investigating how closely complex argumentation systems (e.g., those that incorporate weights or structured arguments) mimic human reasoning [164,165], and how such systems can be made to comply with desirable properties. Such work can allow an agent to infer a human's preferences [5], or identify how strong information needs to be to convince a user of some conclusion [115]. At a more applied level, we intend to investigate argument-based reasoning in the context of socio-technical concepts such as trust, responsibility and accountability [166].…”

“…Our group envisions addressing these kinds of challenges using a mixture of classic AI models (for robustness and explainability), as well as machine learning models to deal with inherently noisy environmental data. Recent work in this direction includes eliciting (human) preferences from the arguments they advance [5], and identifying what strength an argument requires to be acceptable to a human reasoner [115].…”

“…Agents research at Aberdeen has a long history, with work ranging from fundamental theoretical research on topics such as trust [1,2], norms [3,4] and argumentation [5], to applications of such technologies [6,7,8]. The Agents at Aberdeen group 1 (A 3 ) has changed over time, with several members joining the group in the last two years.…”

Multi-agent systems is an evolving discipline that encompasses many different branches of research. The long-standing Agents at Aberdeen ( A 3 ) group undertakes research across several areas of multi-agent systems, focusing in particular on aspects related to resilience, reliability, and coordination. In this article we introduce the group and highlight past research successes in those themes, building a picture of the strengths within the group. We close the paper outlining the future direction of the group and identify key open challenges and our vision towards solving them.
