Computing inconsistency using logical argumentation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Measuring the degree of conflict of a knowledge base can help us to deal with inconsistencies. Several semantic and syntax based approaches have been proposed separately. In this paper, we use logical argumentation as a field to compute the inconsistency measure for propositional formulae. We show using the complete argumentation tree that our family of measures is able to express finely the inconsistency of a formula following their context and allows us to distinguish between formulae. We extend our measure to quantify the degree of inconsistency of set of formulae and give a general formulation of the inconsistency using some logical properties.
