Abstract:
Due to the limitations associated with the use of a single type of data during the recommendation process, recent research has focused on developing new fusion-based recommenders that make use of multiple heterogeneous sources of information to provide more accurate suggestions. However, the realistic and flexible methods available to users for expressing their preferences for products and services inherently generate uncertain, imperfect, and ambiguous data that feed recommenders and thus affect their accuracy. As a result, Recommender Systems (RS) make significant use of soft mathematical to

Abstract:
In risk assessment, generally model parameters are affected by uncertainty arises due to vagueness, imprecision, lack of data, small sample sizes etc. Fuzzy set theory and Dempster-Shafer theory (In short DST) of evidence should be explored to handle this type of uncertainty. Representation of parameters of risk assessment models may be Dempster-Shafer structure (in short DSS) and fuzzy numbers. To deal with such situations, it is important to device new techniques.

AbstractThe paper presents a novel place labeling method. It is assumed that an indoor mobile robot equipped with a camera or RGB-D sensor ambulates an indoor environment. The places visited by the robot are classified based on objects which have been recognized. Each object (or set of objects) votes for a set of room classes. Data aggregation is performed using Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), which can be regarded as a generalization of the Bayesian theory. The possibility of taking into account the uncertainty of data is the main advantage of the described method. The classic Dempster’s rule o

Abstract:
This work proposes a new method of fusion image using Dempster-Shafer theory and local variability (DST-LV). This method takes into account the behaviour of each pixel with its neighbours. It consists in calculating the quadratic distance between the value of the pixel I (x, y) of each point and the value of all the neighbouring pixels. Local variability is used to determine the mass function defined in DempsterShafer theory. The two classes of Dempster-Shafer theory studied are : the fuzzy part and the focused part.

Abstract:
An accurate self-diagnosis expert system would prevent the progression of chronic eye disease. However, developing an expert system for medical diagnose requires a robust reasoning capability. In the knowledge acquisition phase, a knowledge engineer faces several issues. For example, an eye disease may contain several similar symptoms to another eye disease. Even worse, a patient may input a set of symptoms that can be attributable to several diseases, and these symptoms may not be readily quantifiable.

Complexity of computations, particularly due to large number of focal elements (FEs), in Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) motivates the development of approximation algorithms. Existing approximation methods include efficient algorithm for special hypothesis space, Monte Carlo based techniques, and simplification procedures. In this paper, the quality of the simplification-based approximation algorithms is evaluated using a new information-based comparison methodology.

Deng entropy and extropy are two measures useful in the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DST) to study uncertainty, following the idea that extropy is the dual concept of entropy. In this paper, we present their fractional versions named fractional Deng entropy and extropy and compare them to other measures in the framework of DST. Here, we study the maximum for both of them and give several examples. Finally, we analyze a problem of classification in pattern recognition in order to highlight the importance of these new measures.

The efficacy of data mining lies in its ability to identify relationships amongst data.

It is always utmost essential to accumulate knowledge on the nature of each and every accessible data, information, and model parameters in risk assessment. It is noticed that more often model parameters, data, information are fouled with uncertainty due to lack of precision, deficiency in data, diminutive sample sizes. In such environments, fuzzy set theory or Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) can be explored to represent this type of uncertainty. Most frequently, both types of uncertainty representation theories coexist in human health risk assessment and need to merge within the same framework.

Abstract:
Today AI systems are rarely made without Machine Learning (ML) and this inspires us to explore what aptly called composite argumentation systems with ML components. Concretely, against two theoretical backdrops of PABA (Probabilistic Assumption-based Argumentation) and DST (Dempster-Shafer Theory), we present a framework for such systems called c-PABA. It is argued that c-PABA lends itself to a development tool as well and to demonstrate we show that DST-based ML classifier combination and multi-source data fusion can be implemented as simple c-PABA frameworks.

Fine-grained image classification (FGIC) aims to classify object of images to the corresponding subordinate classes of a superclass. Due to insufficient training data and confusing data samples, FGIC may produce uncertain classification results that are untrusted for data applications.

Recently, researchers extended DST by combining it with deep learning to measure the uncertainty of deep neural networks and perform uncertainty classification.
