A New Interpretable Belief Coulomb Force and Its Application in Conflict Evidence and Deceptive Evidence Identification
Chenchen Lin, Bingyi Kang · viXra · 2021
Counter deception is a key issue in Dempster–Shafer (D-S) evidence theory and has been the focus of many related researchers. However, there has been a lack of discussion about whether the evidence should be fused. In this paper, in the frame of D-S evidence theory, inspired by the belief universal gravitation and the belief Coulomb force, we proposed a concept of interpretable belief Coulomb force to focus on whether or not the evidence should be fused. Then the original evidence is classified into credible evidence, conflict evidence and deceptive evidence. It aims to find and eliminate deceptive evidence that shouldn’t be fused, which may provide us with a new idea to solve the problem of counter deception. Examples and comparison are used to illustrate the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed proposed interpretable belief Coulomb force.
