Abstract

Gradual argumentation frameworks allow modeling arguments and their relationships and have been applied to problems like decision support and social media analysis. Semantics assign strength values to arguments based on an initial belief and their relationships. The final assignment should usually satisfy some common-sense properties. One property that may currently be missing in the literature is Open-Mindedness. Intuitively, Open-Mindedness is the ability to move away from the initial belief in an argument if sufficient evidence against this belief is given by other arguments. We generalize and refine a previously introduced notion of Open-Mindedness and use this definition to analyze nine gradual argumentation approaches from the literature.
