• Abstract: We give a new interpretation of basic belief assignment transformation into probability distribution, and use directed acyclic network called belief evolution network to describe the causality between the focal elements of a BBA. On this basis, a new probability transformations method called full causality probability transformation is proposed, and this method is superior to all previous method after verification from the process and the result. In addition, using this method combined with disjunctive combination rule, we propose a new probabilistic combination rule called disjunctive transformation combination rule. It has an excellent ability to merge conflicts and an interesting pseudo-Matthew effect, which offer a new idea to information fusion besides the combination rule of Dempster.

  We propose an isopignistic transformation based on the belief evolution network. This decomposition offers a reverse path between the possibility distribution and its isopignistic mass functions. This paper establishes a theoretical basis for building general models of artificial intelligence based on probability theory, Dempster-Shafer theory, and possibility theory.

  Mixup is a well-established data augmentation technique, which can extend the training distribution and regularize the neural networks. Previous mixup variants tend to over-focus on the label-related information. We propose a semantic equivariant mixup (sem) to preserve richer semantic information in the input.
