org.tweetyproject.arg.aspic.reasoner.AbstractAspicReasoner<T>

org.tweetyproject.arg.aspic.reasoner.DirectionalAspicReasoner<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of formulas

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class DirectionalAspicReasoner<T extends Invertable>
extends AbstractAspicReasoner<T>

Computes a restricted AF by only considering relevant arguments to a query. An optional probability value for including only a certain subset of relevant arguments turns this reasoner into an approximative reasoner

Constructor Detail

DirectionalAspicReasoner

public DirectionalAspicReasoner(AbstractExtensionReasoner aafReasoner)

Creates a new instance

Parameters:

aafReasoner - Underlying reasoner for AAFs.

DirectionalAspicReasoner

public DirectionalAspicReasoner(AbstractExtensionReasoner aafReasoner,
                                double prob)

Creates a new instance

Parameters:

aafReasoner - Underlying reasoner for AAFs.

prob - the probability of including a certain relevant argument

Method Detail

getDungTheory

public DungTheory getDungTheory(AspicArgumentationTheory<T> aat,
                                T query)

Description copied from class: AbstractAspicReasoner

Computes the Dung theory from which the answer will be derived

Specified by:

getDungTheory in class AbstractAspicReasoner<T extends Invertable>

Parameters:

aat - some Aspic theory

query - some query

Returns:

a Dung theory

asRestrictedDungTheory

public DungTheory asRestrictedDungTheory(AspicArgumentationTheory<T> aat,
                                         boolean simplifyArgumentStructure,
                                         T conc)

Generate restricted AF based on given theory and conclusion. The restricted AF contains only arguments with the given concusion, all the attackers of this argument, the attackers of those arguments, and so on. As long as the semantics that is employed satisfies directionality, this restricted AF is sufficient to determine the correct status of the conclusion.

Parameters:

aat - The aspic theory to generate arguments from

simplifyArgumentStructure - a boolean, see org.tweetyproject.arg.aspic.AbstractAspicReasoner#getDungTheory(org.tweetyproject.arg.aspic.AspicArgumentationTheory, org.tweetyproject.commons.Formula)

conc - Conclusion to generate restricted AF for

Returns:

The restricted AF

getAttackingConclusions

public java.util.Collection<T> getAttackingConclusions(AspicArgument<T> arg,
                                                       RuleFormulaGenerator<T> rfgen)

Returns all "attacking conclusions" of the given argument. An attacking conclusion of an argument is a conclusion that, if it is a conclusion of another argument, then this argument will attack it.

Parameters:

arg - Argument to generate attacking conclusions

rfgen - Rule formula generator in use.

Returns:

Attacking conclusions of argument.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
