Imprecise belief updating for uncertain user modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach to incremental user recognition in fuzzy environments where user classification is updated within an epistemological model. We extend Einhorn and Hogarth’s anchor and adjustment method ([7]), itself derived from a study of human behaviour, from the point value representation of belief and evidence to the case where belief and evidence are imprecise. We represent imprecision by intervals of belief in the range 0 1 .

User Recognition in Uncertain Object Oriented User Modelling
User modelling is fast becoming a major topic for commercial and academic research. A major problem in user modelling is in categorising a new user into known user classes. In this paper we consider user classification as a recognition problem where a new user is an uncertain object of undetermined class and we must determine the membership of the object in each of a number of prototypical user...
متن کاملGeneralized basic probability assignments
Dempster-Shafer theory allows to construct belief functions from (precise) basic probability assignments. The present paper extends this idea substantially. By considering sets of basic probability assignments, an appealing constructive approach to general interval probability (general imprecise probabilities) is achieved, which allows for a very flexible modelling of uncertain knowledge.
متن کاملEquivalence Between Bayesian and Credal Nets on an Updating Problem
We establish an intimate connection between Bayesian and credal nets. Bayesian nets are precise graphical models, credal nets extend Bayesian nets to imprecise probability. We focus on traditional belief updating with credal nets, and on the kind of belief updating that arises with Bayesian nets when the reason for the missingness of some of the unobserved variables in the net is unknown. We sh...
متن کاملThree Models of Sequential Belief Updating on Uncertain Evidence
Jeffrey updating is a natural extension of Bayesian updating to cases where the evidence is uncertain. But, the resulting degrees of belief appear to be sensitive to the order in which the uncertain evidence is acquired, a rather un-Bayesian looking effect. This order dependence results from the way in which basic Jeffrey updating is usually extended to sequences of updates. The usual extension...
متن کاملBelief Revision and Updates in Numerical Formalisms: An Overview, with new Results for the Possibilistic Framework
The difference between Bayesian conditioning and Lewis' imaging is somewhat similar to the one between Gardenfors' belief revision and Katsuno and Mendelzon' updating in the logical framework. Counterparts in possibility theory of these two operations are presented, including the case of conditioning upon an uncertain observation. Possibilistic conditioning satisfies all the postulates for beli...
