Classifier Fusion Using Triangular Norms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method for fusing a collection of classifiers where the fusion can compensate for some positive correlation among the classifiers. Specifically, it does not require the assumption of evidential independence of the classifiers to be fused (such as Dempster Shafer’s fusion rule). The proposed method is associative, which allows fusing three or more classifiers irrespective of the order. The fusion is accomplished using a generalized intersection operator (T-norm) that better represents the possible correlation between the classifiers. In addition, a confidence measure is produced that takes advantage of the consensus and conflict between classifiers.

Archimedean components of triangular norms
The Archimedean components of triangular norms (which turn the closed unit interval into an abelian, totally ordered semigroup with neutral element 1) are studied, in particular their extension to triangular norms, and some construction methods for Archimedean components are given. The triangular norms which are uniquely determined by their Archimedean components are characterized. Using ordina...
متن کاملAlternative approaches to obtain t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices
Triangular norms in the study of probabilistic metric spaces as a special kind of associative functions defined on the unit interval. These functions have found applications in many areas since then. In this study, we present new methods for constructing triangular norms and triangular conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice under some constraints. Also, we give some illustrative examples for t...
متن کاملFuzzy Γ-Hyperideals in Γ-Hypersemirings by Using Triangular Norms
The concept of Γ-semihyperrings was introduced by Dehkordi and Davvaz as a generalization of semirings, semihyperrings, and Γ-semiring. In this paper, by using the notion of triangular norms, we define the concept of triangular fuzzy sub-Γ-semihyperrings as well as triangular fuzzy Γ-hyperideals of a Γ-semihyperring, and we study a few results in this respect.
متن کاملHow to costruct left-continuous triangular norms
Triangular norms (t-norms for short) play a crucial role in several fields of mathematics and AI. For an exhaustive overview on t-norms we refer to [20]. Recently an increasing interest of left-continuous t-norm based theories can be observed (see e.g. [3, 5, 6, 7, 18]). In this paper we discuss in detail the presently existing construction methods which result in left-continuous triangular nor...
متن کاملStrict triangular norms and characterization of T-measures
We characterize T-measures on weakly generated tribes, where T is a strict triangular norm and we give a Liapunoff Theorem for these measures. This generalizes previous results obtained for monotonic T-measures or for Frank triangular norms.
