Decision fusion for postal address recognition using belief functions
Combining the outputs from several postal address readers (PARs) is a promising approach for improving the performances of mailing address recognition systems. In this paper, this problem is solved using the Transferable Belief Model, an uncertain reasoning framework based on Dempster-Shafer belief functions. Applying this framework to postal address recognition implies defining the frame of di...
متن کاملDecision Making with Partially Consonant Belief Functions
This paper studies decision making for Wal ley's partially consonant belief functions (pcb ) . In a pcb, the set of foci are par titioned. Within each partition, foci are nested. The pcb class includes probability and possibility functions as extreme cases. We adopt an axiomatic system, similar in spirit to von Neumann and Morgenstern's ax ioms for preferences leading to the linear util ity...
متن کاملValue Judgments Using Belief Functions*
The main purpose of this article is to show how the belief-function framework can be used to model human behavior when making decisions that involve value judgments. A rule of decision making has been presented in the form of a proposition. This proposition is simple and intuitive. It predicts correctly the observed behavior, even the behavior that is considered to be irrational under the expec...
متن کاملStructural Analysis of Audit Evidence using Belief Functions
This article performs two types of analysis using Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions for evidential reasoning. The first analysis deals with the impact of the structure of audit evidence on the overall belief at each variable in the network, variables being the account balance to be audited, the related transaction streams, and the associated audit objectives. The second analysis deals ...
متن کاملForward-Backward-Viterbi Procedures in the Transferable Belief Model for State Sequence Analysis Using Belief Functions
The Transferable Belief Model (TBM) relies on belief functions and enables one to represent and combine a variety of knowledge from certain up to ignorance as well as conflict inherent to imperfect data. A lot of applications have used this flexible framework however, in the context of temporal data analysis of belief functions, a few work have been proposed. Temporal aspect of data is essentia...
