Evidence and Belief
We discuss the representation of knowledge and of belief from the viewpoint of decision theory. While the Bayesian approach enjoys general-purpose applicability and axiomatic foundations, it suffers from several drawbacks. In particular, it does not model the belief formation process, and does not relate beliefs to evidence. We survey alternative approaches, and focus on formal model of casebas...
متن کاملOn evidence absorption for belief networks
More and more real-life applications of the belief-network framework are emerging. As applications grow larger, the belief networks involved increase in size accordingly. For large belief networks, probabilistic inference tends to become rather time-consuming. In the worst case this tendency may not be denied as probabilistic inference is known to be NP-hard. However, it is possible to improve ...

متن کاملHierarchical evidence and belief functions
Dempster/Shafer (D/S) theory has been advocated as a way of representing incompleteness of evidence in a system’s knowledge base. Methods now exist for propagating beliefs through chains of inference. This paper discusses how rules with attached beliefs, a common representation for knowledge in automated reasoning systems, can be transformed into the joint belief functions required by propagati...
متن کاملClustering belief functions based on attracting and conflicting metalevel evidence
Abstract In this paper we develop a method for clustering belief functions based on attracting and conflicting metalevel evidence. Such clustering is done when the belief functions concern multiple events, and all belief functions are mixed up. The clustering process is used as the means for separating the belief functions into subsets that should be handled independently. While the conflicting...
