Information Retrieval using Dempster-Shafer Theory
2014
International Journal of Computer Applications
Information retrieval model using Dempster-Shafer theory also known as evidence theory is used in this paper. ...
Vector space model is a popular model and is widely used for information retrieval. The judgment of the relevance between a query and a document is evaluated using cosine similarity between them. ...
theory of evidence is utilized to retrieve documents using noun phrases [2] . ...

DR-LINK system
1993
Proceedings of a workshop on held at Fredericksburg, Virginia September 19-23, 1993 -
A retrieval system needs to be able to process natural language sentences and extract key concepts and the implicit relations among them, which cannot be expressed as a set of keywords or phrases. ...
For example, it may be crucial to detect documents that talk about a dispute between Airbus and an aircraft company (i.e. the specific relationship between the two concepts), not just about dispute, Airbus ...

Representing and retrieving structured documents using the Dempster‐Shafer theory of evidence: modelling and evaluation
1998
Journal of Documentation
In this paper we report on a theoretical model of structured document indexing and retrieval based on Dempster-Shafer's Theory of Evidence. ...
This is especially true for long documents, documents that cover a variety of subjects and documents that contain an author-defined structure. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank the IR groups at the University of Glasgow and the University of Dortmund for much encouragement and feedback on this work. ...

Probabilistic word sense disambiguation
2004
Computer Speech and Language
The main feature of the design is that it combines multiple probabilistic modules using both Dempster-Shafer theory and Bayes Rule. ...
Additionally, the use of Lidstone's smoothing provides a uniform mechanism for weighting modules based on their accuracy, removing the need for an additional weighting scheme. ...
Suitability of SCF Acquisition to Evaluating WSD We also investigate how suitable the SCF acquisition task is as an evaluation method for WSD. ...
