The main purpose of this paper is to apply and to test the performance of a new method, based on belief functions, proposed by Dezert et al. in order to evaluate the quality of the individual association pairings provided in the optimal data association ...

The deep belief network is widely used in fault diagnosis and health management of rotating machinery. However, on the one hand, deep belief networks only tend to focus on the global information of bearing vibration, ignoring local information.

Forecasting Using Information and Entropy Based on Belief Functions
This paper introduces an entropy-based belief function to the forecasting problem. While the likelihood-based belief function needs to know the distribution of the objective function for the prediction, the entropy-based belief function does not. This is

Decision-Making with Belief Functions: a Review [PDF]
Approaches to decision-making under uncertainty in the belief function framework are reviewed. Most methods are shown to blend criteria for decision under ignorance with the maximum expected utility principle of Bayesian decision theory. A distinction is

Belief functions and belief maintenance in artificial intelligence
The idea for this special issue first arose at the Fourth Workshop on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (AI) held at Minneapolis, Minnesota, in July 1988. Jim Bezdek, the editor-in-chief of this journal, asked us if we were willing to act as guest editors.

Belief and Surprise - A Belief-Function Formulation [PDF]
We motivate and describe a theory of belief in this paper. This theory is developed with the following view of human belief in mind. Consider the belief that an event E will occur (or has occurred or is occurring). An agent either entertains this belief or does not entertain this belief (i.e., there is no "grade" in entertaining the belief).
