Approximating Problems in Abstract Argumentation with Graph Convolutional Networks (Abstract Reprint)

AAAI 2026technical

In this article, we present a novel approximation approach for abstract argumentation using a customized Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) architecture and a tailored training method. Our approach demonstrates promising results in approximating abstract argumentation tasks across various semantics,

Conjure: Automatic Generation of Constraint Models from Problem Specifications (Extended Abstract)

IJCAI 2023poster

When solving a combinatorial problem, the formulation or model of the problem is critical to the efficiency of the solver. Automating the modelling process has long been of interest given the expertise and time required to develop an effective model of a particular problem. We describe a method to a…

Learning When to Use Automatic Tabulation in Constraint Model Reformulation

IJCAI 2023poster

Combinatorial optimisation has numerous practical applications, such as planning, logistics, or circuit design. Problems such as these can be solved by approaches such as Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) or Constraint Programming (CP). Solver performance is affected significantly by the model chosen to…

SAT Encodings for Pseudo-Boolean Constraints Together With At-Most-One Constraints (Extended Abstract)

IJCAI 2023poster

When solving a combinatorial problem using propositional satisfiability (SAT), the encoding of the constraints is of vital importance. Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints appear frequently in a wide variety of problems. When PB constraints occur together with at-most-one (AMO) constraints over the s…
