Syntax and semantics in knowledge fusion: a mixed approach
Éric Grégoire · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2002
In this paper, a series of knowledge fusion operators are motivated and analyzed. They are defined in a semantic way, although syntactical facets of knowledge are taken into account. More precisely, they rely on a rank-ordering of interpretations that is based on the number of formulas that the interpretations falsify. It is briefly discussed how these operators could be refined, by taking into account various distribution policies of the falsified information among the knowledge sources, syntactical properties of formulas to be fused and forms of integrity constraints preference among literals.
