Popis: The weak completion semantics, a computational logic approach, has been shown to adequately model various episodes of human reasoning. Since the inception of abstract argumentation in the 1990s, connections between argumentation semantics and logic programming semantics have been studied, but existing work on this connection has not yet covered the weak completion semantics. In this paper we define a novel translation from logic programs to abstract argumentation frameworks and show that under this translation the weak completion semantics corresponds to the grounded semantics of abstract argumentation. Combining this translation with argumentation semantics other than grounded semantics gives rise to novel logic programming semantics. We discuss the potential relevance of these novel semantics to modeling human reasoning and give an outlook on possible future research on this topic.
