Exploration of a Geometric Model of Data Fusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Some aspects of Data Fusion (DF) for Information Retrieval (IR) are explored using a set of data from the Fifth International Conference on Text Retrieval, TRECS. It has been observed from time to time that DF applied to a pair of systems or schemes for IR may yield results that are better than those of either participating scheme. It has been conjectured that this occurs only rarely, or occurs only when poor schemes are being combined, or occurs only for problems In which there are so few relevant documents that the results are probably due to statistical fluctuation. Based on a geometrical model of DF, we derive an equation for effective DF. This equation shows that in the ideal case the performance of a pair of IR schemes may be aproximated by a quadratic polynomial. We statistically test this assumption for TRECS Routing data. Results of the regression analysis shows that our equation for the effect of DF is generally valid.

متن کاملRock physical modeling enhancement in hydrocarbon reservoirs using Choquet fuzzy integral fusion approach
Rock physics models are widely used in hydrocarbon reservoir studies. These models make it possible to simulate a reservoir more accurately and reduce the economic risk of oil and gas exploration. In the current study, two models of Self-Consistent Approximation followed by Gassmann (SCA-G) and Xu-Payne (X-P) were implemented on three wells of a carbonate reservoir in the southwest of Ira...
متن کاملBayesian 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 ...
