Representing parametric probabilistic models tainted with imprecision
Numerical possibility theory, belief function have been suggested as useful tools to represent imprecise, vague or incomplete information. They are particularly appropriate in unc...

Decision Support with Belief Functions Theory for Seabed Characterization
The seabed characterization from sonar images is a very hard task because of the produced data and the unknown environment, even for an human expert. In this work we propose an ori...

Quantifying Beliefs by Belief Functions: An Axiomatic Justification
: We present a set of axioms that justify the use of belief functions to quantify the beliefs held by an agent Y at time t and based on Y's evidential corpus. It is essentiall...

Belief Augmented Frame Sets for Knowledge Representation in Spoken Dialog Systems
We propose a frame structure that is augmented with belief functions to model knowledge in a spoken dialog system. In addition we propose methods to combine belief functions in the...

Dempster-Belief Functions Are Based on the Principle of Complete Ignorance
This paper shows that a "principle of complete ignorance" plays a central role in decisions based on Dempster belief functions. Such belief functions occur when, in a fi...

Combining Belief Functions Issued from Dependent Sources
Dempsterā€™s rule for combining two belief functions assumes the independence of the sources of information. If this assumption is questionable, I suggest to use the least speciļ¬...

Sequential Belief-Based Fusion of Manual and Non-manual Information for Recognizing Isolated Signs
Abstract. This work aims to recognize signs which have both manual and nonmanual components by providing a sequential belief-based fusion mechanism. We propose a methodology based ...
