Problem Structure and Evidential Reasoning
In our previous series of studies to investigate the role of evidential reasoning in the RUBRIC system for full-text document retrieval (Tong et al., 1985; Tong and Shapiro, 1985; Tong and Appelbaum, 1987), we identified the important role that problem structure plays in the overall performance of the system. In this paper, we focus on these structural elements (which we now call "semantic structure") and show how explicit consideration of their properties reduces what previously were seen as difficult evidential reasoning problems to more tractable questions.

Taxonomy, Structure, and Implementation of Evidential Reasoning
The fundamental elements of evidential reasoning problems are described, followed by a discussion of the structure of various types of problems. Bayesian inference networks and state space formalism are used as the tool …
Bayesian InferenceDecision MakingEvidential Reasoning with Expert-Guided Machine Learning
Evidential reasoning aims to infer hidden causes from observed effects. In the context of fault detection, it is possible to trace the cause of anomalies by combining evidential reasoning with physical knowledge. However…

This paper studies the bias problem of multi-hop question answering models, of answering correctly without correct reasoning. One way to robustify these models is by supervising to not only answer right, but also with ri…

In multiple attribute decision analysis (MADA) problems, one often needs to deal with assessment information with uncertainty. The evidential reasoning approach is one of the most effective methods to deal with such MADA…
