Recent studies in active learning, particularly in uncertainty sampling, have focused on the decomposition of model uncertainty into reducible and irreducible uncertainties. In this paper, the aim is to simpli...

Heliconius butterflies, a speciose genus of Müllerian mimics, represent a classic example of an adaptive radiation that includes a range of derived dietary, life history, physiological and neural traits. However,...

The theory of belief functions allows the fusion of imperfect data from different sources. Unfortunately, few real, imprecise and uncertain datasets exist to test approaches using belief functions. We have bui...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Most questionnaires offer ordered responses whose order is poorly studied via belief functions. In this paper, we study the consequences of a frame of discernment consisting of ordered elements on belief funct...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The classification analysis of imbalanced data remains a challenging task since the base classifier usually focuses on the majority class and ignores the minority class. This paper proposes a reliability-based...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Classification is used to predict classes by extracting information from labeled data. But sometimes the collected data is imperfect, as in crowdsourcing where users have partial knowledge and may answer with ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the late 1990s, Philippe Smets hypothesizes that the more imprecise humans are, the more certain they are. The modeling of human responses by belief functions has been little discussed. In this context, it ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Traditional evidential clustering tends to build clusters where the number of data for each cluster fairly close to each other. However, it may not be suitable for imbalanced data. This paper proposes a new me...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Evidential preference based on belief function theory has been proposed recently, simultaneously characterizing preference information with uncertainty and imprecision. However, traditional distances on belief...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Clustering is an essential part of data mining, which can be used to organize data into sensible groups. Among the various clustering algorithms, the prototype-based methods have been most popularly applied du...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Evidential clustering, based on the notion of credal partition, has been successfully applied in many fields, reflecting its broad appeal and usefulness as one of the steps in exploratory data analysis. However, ...

The viral marketing is a relatively new form of marketing that exploits social networks to promote a brand, a product, etc. The idea behind it is to find a set of influencers on the network that can trigger a ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Data crossing seeks the extraction of novel knowledge through correlations and dependencies among heterogeneous data, and is considered a key process in sustainable science to push back the current frontiers ...

platforms enable to propose tasks to a large crowd users. The workers receive a compensation for their work according to the serious of the they managed to accomplish. The evaluation of the of respons...
Chapter
In information fusion, the conflict is an important concept. Indeed, combining several imperfect experts or sources allows conflict. In the theory of belief functions, this notion has been discussed a lot. The...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Credal partitions in the framework of belief functions can give us a better understanding of the analyzed data set. In order to find credal community structure in graph data sets, in this paper, we propose a n...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Detecting independent users in online social networks is an interesting research issue. In fact, independent users cannot generally be influenced, they are independent in their choices and decisions. Independe...
