The subject of this paper is the location of objects in the Euclidian plane under partial information So there is a need to represent uncertain and imprecise information about relative position of objects For this pur pose the well founded and persuasive theory of hints will be used Kohlas Monney a This general theory originates to Glenn Shafer s mathe matical theory of evidence Shafer Its most...

Sistem pakar adalah sistem yang berusaha mengadopsi pengetahuan manusia ke komputer dirancang untuk mempresentasikan kemampuan menyelesaikan masalah seperti layaknya seorang pakar. Dengan ini, masyarakat biasa pun dapat masalahnya atau hanya sekedar mencari suatu informasi berkualitas sebenarnya diperoleh dengan bantuan para ahli di bidangnya. Pada penelitian ini dijelaskan cara Pakar mendiagno...

Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has been extensively used in many information fusion systems since it was proposed by Dempster and extended by Shafer. Many scholars have been conducted on conflict management of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory in past decades. However, how to determine a potent parameter to measure evidence conflict, when the given environment is in an open world, namely the fra...

The Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions is an important approach to deal with uncertainty in AI. In the theory, belief functions are defined on Boolean algebras of events. In many applications of belief functions in real world problems, however, the objects that we manipulate is no more a Boolean algebra but a distributive lattice. In this paper, we extend the Dempster-Shafer theory to t...

Based on World Health Organization (WHO) report in the 2011 Skin diseases still remain common in many rural communities in developing countries, with serious economic and social consequences as well as health implications. Directly or indirectly, skin diseases are responsible for much disability (and loss of economic potential), disfigurement, and distress due to symptoms such as itching or pai...

In this paper, we implement an anomaly detection system using the Dempster-Shafer method. Using two standard benchmark problems we show that by combining multiple signals it is possible to achieve better results than by using a single signal. We further show that by applying this approach to a real-world email dataset the algorithm works for email worm detection. Dempster-Shafer can be a promis...

Automated ontology population using information extraction algorithms can produce inconsistent knowledge bases. Confidence values assigned by the extraction algorithms may serve as evidence helping to repair produced inconsistencies. The Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is a formalism, which allows appropriate interpretation of extractors’ confidence values. The paper presents an algorithm fo...

This paper analyzes the theoretical under­ pinnings of recent proposals for computing Dempster-Shafer Belief functions from ATMS labels. Such proposals are intended to be a means of integrating symbolic and numeric rep­ resentation methods and of focusing search in the ATMS. This synthesis is formalized us­ ing graph theory, thus showing the relation­ ship between graph theory, the logic-theore...
