چکیده

In an increasingly interconnected world information comes from various sources, usually with distinct, sometimes inconsistent semantics. Transforming raw data into high-level information fusion (HLIF) products, such as situation displays, automated decision support, and predictive analysis, relies heavily on human cognition. There is a clear lack of automated solutions for HLIF, making such systems prone to scalability issues. In this paper, we propose to address this issue with the use of highly expressive Bayesian models, which can provide a tighter link between information coming from low-level sources and the high-level information fusion systems, and allow for greater automation of the overall process. We illustrate our ideas with a naval HLIF system, and show the results of a preliminary set of experiments.

DENIED OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS MULTI-ENTITY BAYESIAN NETWORKS LEARNING IN PREDICTIVE SITUATION AWARENESS Topic 3: Data, Information and Knowledge

Over the past two decades, machine learning has led to substantial changes in Data Fusion Systems throughout the world. One of the most important application areas for data fusion is situation awareness to support command and control. Situation Awareness is perception of elements in the environment, comprehension of the current situation, and projection of future status before decision making. ...

Bayesian Data Fusion: a Reliable Approach for Descriptive Modeling of Ore Deposits

Recognition of ore deposit genesis is still a controversial challenge for economic geologists. Here, this task was addressed by the virtue of Bayesian data fusion (BDF) implementing available proofs: semi-schematic examples with two (Cu and Pb + Zn) and three (Cu, Pb + Zn and Ag) evidences. The data, in current paper are just concentrations of indicated elements, were collected from Angouran’s ...

A Dynamic Evidential Fusion Network for Decision Making in Multi- Robot System

In smart environments, a multi-robot system is difficult to achieve a high confidence level of information for reliable decision making. The pieces of sensed information obtained from a multi-robot system have different degrees of uncertainty. Generated contexts about the situation of the environment can be conflicting even if they are acquired by simultaneous operations. In particular, unpredi...

Multimodal High Level Fusion of Input Commands as a Semantic Goal-oriented Cooperative Process

This paper presents a generic non-deterministic approach for the integration of multimodal semantically grounded input commands, which we call multimodal high level fusion. The final goal is to develop a reference fusion framework of multiple modalities for enhanced natural interaction. Key to this approach is the representation of each modality as an agent participating in a global team proces...

Evaluating Credal Set Theory as a Belief Framework in High-Level Information Fusion for Automated Decision-Making

The goal of high-level information fusion is to provide effective decision-support regarding situations, e.g., relations between events. One of the main ways that has been proposed in order to achieve this is to reduce uncertainty regarding the situation by utilizing multiple sources of information. There exist two types of uncertainty: aleatory and epistemic. Aleatory uncertainty, also known a...
