• Abstract: In real life, lots of information merges from time to time. To appropriately describe the actual situations, lots of theories have been proposed. Among them, Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is a very useful tool in managing uncertain information. To better adapt to complex situations of open world, a generalized evidence theory is designed. However, everything occurs in sequence and owns some underlying relationships with each other. In order to further embody the details of information and better conforms to situations of real world, a Markov model is introduced into the generalized evidence theory which helps extract complete information volume from evidence provided. Besides, some numerical examples is offered to verify the correctness and rationality of the proposed method.

  Dempster-Shafer evidences theory (DSET) is widely used to handle uncertain information. Based on DSET, a completely new method to fuse information from different sources based on pignistic transformation and Z-numbers is proposed in this paper.

  microtheories are sentences encapsulating an LM's core knowledge about a topic. We show that, when added to a general corpus (e.g., Wikipedia), microtheories can supply critical, topical information not necessarily present in the corpus. We also show that, in a human evaluation in the medical domain, our distilled microtheories contain a significantly higher concentration of topically critical facts.

• Prototype-based Aleatoric Uncertainty Quantification for Cross-modal Retrieval [139.21955930418815]
  Cross-modal Retrieval methods build similarity relations between vision and language modalities by jointly learning a common representation space. However, the predictions are often unreliable due to the Aleatoric uncertainty, which is induced by low-quality data, e.g., corrupt images, fast-paced videos, and non-detailed texts. We propose a novel Prototype-based Aleatoric Uncertainty Quantification (PAU) framework to provide trustworthy predictions by quantifying the uncertainty arisen from the inherent data ambiguity.

  We consider the problem of performing Bayesian inference in probabilistic models where observations are accompanied by uncertainty, referred to as uncertain evidence' We explore how to interpret uncertain evidence, and by extension the importance of proper interpretation as it pertains to inference about latent variables. We devise concrete guidelines on how to account for uncertain evidence and we provide new insights, particularly regarding consistency.

  We argue that probing should be seen as approximating a mutual information. This led to the rather unintuitive conclusion that representations encode exactly the same information about a target task as the original sentences. This paper proposes a new framework to measure what we term Bayesian mutual information.

  We develop a theory of affordances for agents who learn and plan in Markov Decision Processes. Affordances play a dual role in this case, by reducing the number of actions available in any given situation. We propose an approach to learn affordances and use it to estimate transition models that are simpler and generalize better.
