Evaluating and selecting arguments in the context of higher order uncertainty [PDF]
Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2023 Human and artificial reasoning has to deal with uncertain environments. Ideally, probabilistic information is available. However, sometimes probabilistic information may not be precise or it is missing entirely.

Argumentation and Defeasible Reasoning in the Law
J, 2021 Different formalisms for defeasible reasoning have been used to represent knowledge and reason in the legal field. In this work, we provide an overview of the following logic-based approaches to defeasible reasoning: defeasible logic, Answer Set ...

Algorithmic definitions for KLM-style defeasible disjunctive Datalog
South African Computer Journal, 2020 Datalog is a declarative logic programming language that uses classical logical reasoning as its basic form of reasoning. Defeasible reasoning is a form of non-classical reasoning that is able to deal with exceptions to general assertions in a formal ...

A General Framework for Ampliative Inference Patterns
CLEI Electronic Journal, 1998 Non trivial reasoning from contradictory premises is being acknowledged as one of the most important features in intelligent systems. Expert systems, planners and schedulers, and diagnosers, are almost always faced to potentially fallacious information ...

Defeasibility applied to Forrester’s paradox
South African Computer Journal, 2020 Deontic logic is a logic often used to formalise scenarios in the legal domain. Within the legal domain there are many exceptions and conflicting obligations. This motivates the enrichment of deontic logic with not only the notion of defeasibility, which

Applications of Linear Defeasible Logic: combining resource consumption and exceptions to energy management and business processes [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 Linear Logic and Defeasible Logic have been adopted to formalise different features of knowledge representation: consumption of resources, and non monotonic reasoning in particular to represent exceptions.

Defeasible Classifications and Inferences from Definitions
Informal Logic, 2010 We contend that it is possible to argue reasonably for and against arguments from classifications and definitions, provided they are seen as defeasible (subject to exceptions and critical questioning).
