The purpose of the present work is to survey the dissimilarity measures defined so far in the
mathematical framework of evidence theory, and to propose a classification of these …

In this paper we provide a proof for the positive definiteness of the Jaccard index matrix used
as a weighting matrix in the Euclidean distance between belief functions defined in …

The sources of evidence may have different reliability and importance in real applications for
decision making. The estimation of the discounting (weighting) factors when the prior …

In this article we develop a method for conflict management within Dempster–Shafer theory.
The idea is that each piece of evidence is discounted in proportion to the degree that it …

In the belief function framework, a unique function is induced from the use of a combination
rule so allowing to synthesize all the knowledge of the initial belief functions. When …

Conflict management in Dempster-Shafer theory (DS theory) is a hot topic in information
fusion. In this paper, a new weighted evidence combination on the basis of the distance …

Conflict management in Dempster‐Shafer theory (D‐S theory) is a hot topic in information
fusion. In this paper, a novel weighted evidence combination rule based on evidence …

In the theory of belief functions, the conflict is an important concept. Indeed, combining
several imperfect experts or sources allows conflict. However, the mass appearing on the …

In group decision making (GDM), the quality of the solution relies primarily on the quality and
the expertize of decision makers. At that point, deriving the weights, which reflects their …

In this Book we argue that the fruitful interaction of computer vision and belief calculus is
capable of stimulating significant advances in both fields. From a methodological point of …
