The semantics of abstract argumentation\r\nframeworks (AFs) is given by sets of arguments (extensions) and conditions on\r\nthe relationship between them, such as stable or admissible. Today's solvers\r\nimplement tasks such as finding extensions, deciding credulous or skeptical\r\nacceptance, counting, or enumerating extensions. While these tasks are well\r\ncharted, the area between decision, counting/enumeration and fine-grained\r\nreasoning requires expensive reasoning so far. We introduce a novel concept\r\n(facets) for reasoning between decision and enumeration. Facets are arguments\r\nthat belong to some extensions (credulous) but not to all extensions\r\n(skeptical). They are most natural when a user aims to navigate, filter, or\r\ncomprehend the significance of specific arguments, according to their needs. We\r\nstudy the complexity and show that tasks involving facets are much easier than\r\ncounting extensions. Finally, we provide an implementation, and conduct\r\nexperiments to demonstrate feasibility.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"574"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Fichte, Johannes","last_name":"Fichte","first_name":"Johannes"},{"first_name":"Nicolas","last_name":"Fröhlich","full_name":"Fröhlich, Nicolas"},{"full_name":"Hecher, Markus","last_name":"Hecher","first_name":"Markus"},{"first_name":"Victor","last_name":"Lagerkvist","full_name":"Lagerkvist, Victor"},{"full_name":"Mahmood, Yasir","last_name":"Mahmood","id":"99353","first_name":"Yasir"},{"first_name":"Arne","full_name":"Meier, Arne","last_name":"Meier"},{"full_name":"Persson, Jonathan","last_name":"Persson","first_name":"Jonathan"}],"status":"public"}
