Dung's Argumentation Framework

Dung's Argumentation Framework is a way to analyze how different arguments relate to each other through attack and support. Imagine a network where each point is an argument, and lines between them show conflict or backing. The framework helps identify which arguments can stand together without contradiction and which are defeated by others. It's useful in reasoning to find consistent and well-supported positions, especially when dealing with complex or conflicting information. By evaluating these relationships, we can determine the most acceptable arguments within a set.
