Probabilistic abstract argumentation combines Dung's abstract argumentation framework with probability theory in order to model uncertainty in argumentation. In this setting, we address the fundamental problem of computing the probability that an argument is (credulously) acceptable according to a given semantics. Specifically, we focus on the most popular semantics (i.e., admissible, stable, semi-stable, complete, grounded, preferred, ideal, ideal-set), and show that computing the probability that an argument is credulously accepted is FP#P- complete independently from the adopted semantics.

Abstract

Probabilistic abstract argumentation combines Dung's abstract argumentation framework with probability theory in order to model uncertainty in argumentation. In this setting, we address the fundamental problem of computing the probability that an argument is (credulously) acceptable according to a given semantics. Specifically, we focus on the most popular semantics (i.e., admissible, stable, semi-stable, complete, grounded, preferred, ideal, ideal-set), and show that computing the probability that an argument is credulously accepted is FP#P- complete independently from the adopted semantics.
