针对语境依赖式论辩框架能否归约为价值论辩框架的问题,研究提出多项式时间决策程序,梳理相关问题复杂度,发现其可表示性随语境数量增加快速下降。
AI 中文摘要
在价值论辩(value-based argumentation)中,受众的价值排序决定哪些攻击会作为击败(defeat)成功。在许多场景下,决定因素并非受众而是语境:同一攻击可能在某一程序阶段或某一规则下成功,而在另一阶段或规则下失败。语境依赖式论辩框架(context-dependent argumentation frameworks, CDAFs)是我们近期提出的模型,它直接捕捉了这一特性:一组论证、一套攻击关系,以及一个击败函数,该函数会根据每个语境开启或关闭每一项攻击,因此每个语境都会诱导出一个普通的Dung框架。这引出了一个归约问题:语境是否真的是新的概念,还是可以通过为每个语境分配价值排序的方式来复制击败函数,从而将CDAF归约为价值论辩框架(value-based argumentation framework, VAF)?我们针对该问题提出了一个多项式时间决策程序,并梳理了更难的相关问题,其复杂度上界从NP到Σ^p_3不等。我们还提供了一个经过验证的参考实现及测量结果:可表示性是罕见的,且会随语境数量的增加快速下降。
英文摘要
In value-based argumentation, an audience's ordering of values decides which attacks succeed as defeats. In many settings the deciding factor is not the audience but the circumstances: the same attack may succeed at one procedural stage, or under one regulation, and fail at another. Context-dependent argumentation frameworks (CDAFs), a model we recently introduced, capture this directly: one attack relation and a defeat function that switches each attack on or off per context, so every context induces an ordinary Dung framework. This raises a reduction question: can one value assignment with per-context orderings reproduce the defeat function, collapsing the CDAF into a VAF? We present a polynomial-time decision procedure for this question and map the harder neighbouring problems, with upper bounds from NP to $Σ^p_3$. We also present a validated reference implementation and a measurement: representability is rare and falls fast with the number of contexts.
