Type Uncertainty in Ontologically-Grounded Qualitative Probabilistic Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is part of a project to match real-world descriptions of instances of objects to models of objects. We use a rich ontology to describe instances and models at multiple levels of detail and multiple levels of abstraction. The models are described using qualitative probabilities. This paper is about the problem of type uncertainty; what if we have a qualitative distribution over the types. For example allowing a model to specify that a meeting is always scheduled in a building, usually in a civic building, and never a shopping mall can help an agent find a meeting even if it is unsure about the address.

A System for Ontologically-Grounded Probabilistic Matching
This paper is part of a project to match descriptions of real-world instances and probabilistic models, both of which can be described at multiple level of abstraction and detail. We use an ontology to control the vocabulary of the application domain. This paper describes the issues involved in probabilistic matching of hierarchical description of models and instances using Bayesian decision th...
متن کاملA framework for ontologically-grounded probabilistic matching
In all scientific disciplines there are multiple competing and complementary theories that have been, and are being, developed. There are also observational data about which the theories can potentially make predictions. To enable semantic inter-operation between the data and the theories, we need ontologies to define the vocabulary used in them. For example, in the domain of minerals explorati...
متن کاملOn Learning Attacks in Probabilistic Abstract Argumentation
Probabilistic argumentation combines the quantitative uncertainty accounted by probability theory with the qualitative uncertainty captured by argumentation. In this paper, we investigate the problem of learning the structure of an argumentative graph to account for (a distribution of) labellings of a set of arguments. We consider a general abstract framework, where the structure of arguments i...
متن کاملTranscendental phenomenology and classic grounded theory as data collection methods in a single qualitative study of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in New Zealand individuals
Background Despite the risk of ‘method slurring’, researchers have triangulated within a single qualitative study methods that are philosophically incongruent or in a limited context, are congruent, as with hermeneutic phenomenology and constructivist grounded theory. Methods/ Materials We aimed to make the case that what works best can be to mix two qualitative methods that are philosophically...
متن کاملLogic as a Tool in a Term Matching Information Retrieval System
Information retrieval can be seen both as an inference process under uncertainty involving complex relationships between information items, and as a task of proper assessment of uncertainty. Probabilistic argumentation systems are a technique for reasoning under uncertainty which emphasize both aspects, by clearly distinguishing the qualitative and quantitative aspects of uncertainty. This pape...
