چکیده

We present a multiagent organization for data interpretation and fusion in which each agent uses an encapsulated Bayesian network for knowledge representation, and agents communicate by exchanging beliefs (marginal posterior probabilities) on shared variables. We call this organization an Agent-Encapsulated Bayesian Network (AEBN) system. Communication of probabilities among agents leads to rumors, i.e. potential double counting of information. We propose a new and correct method to compensate for rumors in AEBN systems by passing extended messages that contain joint probabilities.

A computational model and convergence theorem for rumor dissemination in social networks

The spread of rumors, which are known as unverified statements of uncertain origin, may threaten the society and it's controlling, is important for national security councils of countries. If it would be possible to identify factors affecting spreading a rumor (such as agents’ desires, trust network, etc.) then, this could be used to slow down or stop its spreading. Therefore, a computational m...

Load-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System

Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...

Probabilistic Multiagent Systems and the Rumor Problem—DRAFT

We define a cooperative multiagent system where the agents use locally designed Bayesian networks to represent their knowledge. Agents in the newly defined AEBN model communicate via message passing where the messages are beliefs in shared variables that are represented as probability distributions. Messages are treated as soft evidence in the receiver agents, where the belief in the receiving ...

A Model for Detecting of Persian Rumors based on the Analysis of Contextual Features in the Content of Social Networks

The rumor is a collective attempt to interpret a vague but attractive situation by using the power of words. Therefore, identifying the rumor language can be helpful in identifying it. The previous research has focused more on the contextual information to reply tweets and less on the content features of the original rumor to address the rumor detection problem. Most of the studies have been in...

On the use of multi-agent systems for the monitoring of industrial systems

The objective of the current paper is to present an intelligent system for complex process monitoring, based on artificial intelligence technologies. This system aims to realize with success all the complex process monitoring tasks that are: detection, diagnosis, identification and reconfiguration. For this purpose, the development of a multi-agent system that combines multiple intelligences su...
