An Efficient Implementation of Belief Function Propagation
Hong Xu
The local computation technique (Shafer et al. 1987, Shafer and Shenoy 1988, Shenoy and Shafer 1986) is used for propagating belief functions in so called a Markov Tree. In this pa…
A Decision Calculus for Belief Functions in Valuation-Based Systems
Hong Xu
Valuation-based system (VBS) provides a general framework for representing knowledge and drawing inferences under uncertainty. Recent studies have shown that the semantics of VBS c…
A Belief-Function Based Decision Support System
Hong Xu, Yen-Teh Hsia, Philippe Smets
In this paper, we present a decision support system based on belief functions and the pignistic transformation. The system is an integration of an evidential system for belief func…
Evidential Reasoning with Conditional Belief Functions
Hong Xu, Philippe Smets
In the existing evidential networks with belief functions, the relations among the variables are always represented by joint belief functions on the product space of the involved v…
Generating Explanations for Evidential Reasoning
Hong Xu, Philippe Smets
In this paper, we present two methods to provide explanations for reasoning with belief functions in the valuation-based systems. One approach, inspired by Strat's method, is based…
