Quantifying belief in arguments could revolutionize decision-making processes.
Abstract argumentation can be improved by adding probabilities to arguments, allowing for a quantitative analysis. The degree of belief in an argument's acceptability can be based on belief in premises, claim, and derivation. Constraints on these probabilities are discussed, along with deriving probabilities for arguments based on given assessments. Inconsistent assessments are also considered, with a framework to measure conflict and a method for reasoning despite inconsistencies.
