Using Possibility Theory in Expert Systems

نویسنده

  • Prakash P. Shenoy
چکیده

This paper has two main objectives. The first objective is to give a characterization of a qualitative description of a possibility function. A qualitative description of a possibility function is called a consistent possibilistic state. The qualitative description and its characterization serve as qualitative semantics for possibility functions. These semantics are useful in representing knowledge as possibility functions. The second objective is to describe how Zadeh’s theory of possibility fits in the framework of valuation-based systems (VBS). Since VBS serve as a framework for managing uncertainty and imprecision in expert systems, this facilitates the use of possibility theory in expert systems.

Elicitation, assessment, and pooling of expert judgments using possibility theory

The problem of modelling expert knowledge about numerical parameters in the field of reliability is reconsidered in the framework of possibility theory. Usually expert opinions about quantities such as failure rates are modelled, assessed and pooled in the setting of probability theory. This approach does not seem to always be natural since probabilistic information looks too rich to be current...

Fuzzy relations, Possibility theory, Measures of uncertainty, Mathematical modeling.

A central aim of educational research in the area of mathematical modeling and applications is to recognize the attainment level of students at defined states of the modeling process. In this paper, we introduce principles of fuzzy sets theory and possibility theory to describe the process of mathematical modeling in the classroom. The main stages of the modeling process are represented as fuzz...

Using Physical Measurements, Sensory Evaluations and Expert Judgements in a Dam Assessment Support System

In engineering system control, human beings can play various key roles in particular concerning measurement, global assessment and decision. It is recognised that in such complex systems many involved variables are evaluated with uncertainty. In this paper, we used a possibility theory based approach to formalise all the different uncertain pieces of information. An applicative example concerni...
