Evidence fusion with contextual discounting for multi-modality medical image segmentation
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
The framework is composed of an encoder-decoder feature extraction module, an evidential segmentation module that computes a belief function at each voxel for each modality, and a multi-modality evidence ...
As information sources are usually imperfect, it is necessary to take into account their reliability in multi-source information fusion tasks. ...
The evidence from the T1 modality is less reliable for the three classes compared to the evidence of the other three modalities. ...

2014
Communications in Computer and Information Science
Evidential-EM (E2M) algorithm is an effective approach for computing maximum likelihood estimations under finite mixture models, especially when there is uncertain information about data. ...
The prior uncertain information is expressed by belief functions, while the pseudo-likelihood function is derived based on imprecise observations and prior knowledge. ...
The censored data provide some kind of imprecise information for reliability analysis. It is interesting to evaluate the reliability performance for items with mixture distributions. ...

Technical Gestures Recognition by Set-Valued Hidden Markov Models with Prior Knowledge
[chapter]
2016
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing
Hidden Markov models are popular tools for gesture recognition. ...
By modelling such imbalances as a prior information, we achieve more accurate results, while the imprecise quantification is shown to produce more reliable estimates. ...
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs, [9] ) are probabilistic graphical models that can easily cope with multivariate time series, and are therefore often used for gesture recognition [2, 6] . ...
