Toward a Dempster-Shafer theory of conceptsSabine Frittella, Krishna Manoorkar, Alessandra Palmigiano et al.
In this paper, we generalize the basic notions and results of Dempster-Shafer theory from predicates to formal concepts. Results include the representation of conceptual belief functions as inner measures of suitable probability functions, and a Dempster-Shafer rule of combination on belief functions on formal concepts.
