Masters

Master topics for 2016-2017:

  • Title: Forcer l'acceptabilité dans un débat argumenté
  • Proposed by: Sylvie Doutre (IRIT), Andreas Herzig (IRIT), Nicolas Maudet (LIP6).
  • One-line description: Comment faire accepter un argument, dans le cadre d'un débat public, en raisonnant sur les arguments des autres.
  • More details: See the complete description here

Master thesis carried out in 2016:

  • Title: Specification of semantics for abstract argumentation
  • Proposed by: Philippe Besnard, Sylvie Doutre, Dominique Longin (IRIT).
  • Done by: Van Hieu Ho
  • One-line description: Conception and implementation of a system that allows a user to specify an argumentation semantics, and that returns a logical encoding in the form of a parametrized propositional formula. When applied to a subset S of a given argumentation graph G, the instantiated formula is satisfiable if and only if S is an extension for G according to the argumentation semantics specified by the user.
  • More details: See SESAME, the resulting system
  • Title: Relation de soutien entre arguments
  • Proposed by: Sébastien Konieczny (CRIL), Srdjan Vesic (CRIL).
  • Done by: Aurélien Lucas
  • One-line description: Comment prendre en compte la relation d'attaque et la relation de soutien entre les arguments pour évaluer leurs acceptabilité ?

Master thesis carried out in 2015:

  • Title: Argumentation dans les réseaux sociaux : évaluations et controverses
  • Proposed by: Elise Bonzon (LIPADE), Sylvie Doutre (IRIT), Umberto Grandi (IRIT), Nicolas Maudet (LIP6).
  • Done by: Nicolas Shao
  • One-line description: Etudier la maximisation de la controverse d'un débat argumentatif dans le cadre des réseaux sociaux
  • More details: See the complete description here
  • Title: Aspects stratégiques et sémantiques valuées
  • Proposed by: Elise Bonzon (LIPADE), Nicolas Maudet (LIP6).
  • Done by: Julia Bessa
  • One-line description: Etudier les aspects stratégiques intervenant avec des sémantiques 'valuées'
  • More details: See the complete description here
  • Title: Collusive behaviour of self-interested agents in an argumentation framework
  • Proposed by: Stefano Moretti (LAMSADE), Gabriella Pigozzi (LAMSADE).
  • One-line description: The internship will focus on strategic interaction in argumentation systems, and in particular will be addressed to study the possibility of a collusive behaviour among self-interested agents under different debate protocols.
  • More details: See the complete description here
  • Title: A game-theoretical approach to measure the conflict index of arguments
  • Proposed by: Stefano Moretti (LAMSADE)
  • Done by: Francesca Fossati (stage done at LAMSADE from 01/04/2015 to 31/07/2015)
  • One-line description: This thesis work proposes an index for measuring the conflict between arguments in an argumentation graph. Two interpretations of the conflict index, in terms of power index and in terms of ranking-based semantic, are provided.

Master thesis carried out in 2014:

  • Title: The price of argumentation protocols
  • Proposed by: Elise Bonzon (LIPADE), Nicolas Maudet (LIP6).
  • Done by: Sofiane Malagouen
  • One-line description: Studying different argumentation protocols in terms of what loss they induce wrt a centrally merged, complete information, outcome.
  • More details: See the description here
  • Title: Fusion of argumentation systems
  • Proposed by: Sébastien Konieczny (CRIL), Srdjan Vesic (CRIL).
  • Done by: Jérôme Delobelle
  • One-line description: Do existing operators for fusion of argumentation systems satisfy the desirable properties? Are all properties from the literature desirable?
