Social Argumentation Ranking

The social argumentation ranking associates to any AF FF a ranking ⪰FθSAF\succeq^{\theta^{\mathsf{SAF}}}_F on AA such that ∀a,b∈A\forall a,b \in A: a⪰FθSAFba \succeq^{\theta^{\mathsf{SAF}}}_F b iff M(a)≥M(b)M(a) \geq M(b), where MM is the social model of FF under the simple product semantics.

Remarks

Social models were introduced for vote-annotated frameworks (Leite & Martins, 2011); the ranking applies them to plain AFs, where every argument gets the same base score (Bonzon et al., 2016).
