Towards Argumentation with Symbolic Dempster-Shafer Evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the combination of argumentation with the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. In particular, we show how logical elements of evidence, associated with numerical degrees of belief, can be combined into arguments.

Probabilistic argumentation systems: a new perspective on the dempster-shafer theory
The goal of this paper is to study the connection between Dempster-Shafer theory and probabilistic argumentation systems. By introducing a general method to translate probabilistic argumentation systems into corresponding Dempster-Shafer belief potentials, its contribution is twofold. On the one hand, the paper proposes probabilistic argumentation systems as a convenient and powerful modeling l...

متن کاملA Sensor-Based Scheme for Activity Recognition in Smart Homes using Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence
This paper proposes a scheme for activity recognition in sensor based smart homes using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. In this work, opinion owners and their belief masses are constructed from sensors and employed in a single-layered inference architecture. The belief masses are calculated using beta probability distribution function. The frames of opinion owners are derived automatically ...
متن کاملAllocation of Arguments and Evidence Theory
The Dempster Shafer theory of evidence is developed here in a very general setting First its symbolic or algebraic part is discussed as a body of arguments which contains an allocation of support and an allowment of possibility for each hypothesis It is shown how such bodies of arguments arise in the theory of hints and in assumption based reasoning in logic A rule of combination of bodies of a...
متن کاملA neural model for fuzzy Dempster-Shafer classifiers
This paper presents a supervised classi®cation model integrating fuzzy reasoning and Dempster±Shafer propagation of evidence has been built on top of connectionist techniques to address classi®cation tasks in which vagueness and ambiguity coexist. The salient aspect of the approach is the integration within a neuro-fuzzy system of knowledge structures and inferences for evidential reasoning bas...
