Belief Fusion

Belief fusion is the process of combining information from multiple sources to form a more coherent and reliable understanding, addressing challenges arising from uncertainty and conflicting viewpoints. Current research focuses on developing robust belief fusion algorithms, including those based on probabilistic logic, subjective logic, and Dempster-Shafer theory, often incorporating trust models to weigh the credibility of different information sources. These advancements aim to improve the accuracy and reliability of decision-making in various applications, such as multi-view classification, object detection, and social network analysis, where integrating diverse and potentially conflicting data is crucial. The ultimate goal is to create more intelligent and adaptable systems capable of handling complex, uncertain information environments.
