Enhancing ontological reasoning with uncertainty handling for activity recognition

Handling uncertainty is a challenge in activity recognition. Uncertainty can be due to sensor errors (e.g. run out of batteries, imprecise outputs, missing activations etc.) and communication failures. and variability in human activities. These issues may significantly influence the accuracy of activity recognition. Data-driven approaches use machine learning techniques such as Decision Tree, naïve Bayes […]

Comparison between evidence (Dempster-Shafer) theory and Bayesian theory

Both Bayesian theory and Dempster-Shafer (evidence) theory assign non-negative weights to set of events. In Bayesian theory, the finite set of possible events denoted by , each individual event, is assigned a non-negative weight called probability denoted by . The probabilities satisfy the following properties. for all In Dempster-Shafer theory, the finite set called frame […]
