Some strategies for explanations in evidential reasoning

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part A: Systems and Humans, 1996
We present two methods to provide explanations for reasoning with belief functions. One approach, inspired by Strat's method, is based on sensitivity analysis, but its computation is simpler thus easier to implement than Strat's. The other approach is to examine the impact of each piece of evidence on the conclusion based on the measure of the ...

Australian Journal of Linguistics, 2001
Logophoric markers are common in two African language families, Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan. In addition, they are found in neighbouring Afroasiatic languages. Similar markers have been observed, for example, for Indo-European languages or Japanese.

AbstractThis exploratory study focuses on the use of hearsay evidential marking in the course of storytelling in a Tibetic language, Lhagang Tibetan, combining a descriptive linguistic approach with a literary-theoretic analysis.

Clustering based on adaptive local density with evidential assigning strategy

Intelligent Data Analysis, 2022
A new clustering algorithm, based on Adaptive Local Density (ALD) and Evidential K-Nearest Neighbors (EKNN), is proposed here. In density peaks clustering, many other density metrics fail to detect cluster centers on multi-density datasets, however the ALD deals with the tasks very well since it can better utilize the local information.
