Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a method, device and equipment for credible evidence reasoning based on multi-source data fusion. Background Art

[0002] In contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, the integration of multi-source information is a key technology for improving analytical depth and accuracy, thereby enhancing the precision of AI processing tasks. The proliferation of data-generating devices, platforms, and systems has spurred the development of powerful multi-source data fusion (MSDF) methods, which aim to integrate disparate data streams into a coherent and information-rich whole. Despite significant progress in this field, ensuring the trustworthiness of the fused data remains a critical issue.

[0003] Based on methodological requirements and the uncertainty of the results, MSDF techniques are generally categorized into model-based and statistical methods. The former relies on mathematical structures to integrate information from diverse sources, thereby improving data authenticity and decision quality. Such methods include Kalman filtering, extended Kalman filtering, and maximum likelihood estimation. The latter focuses on applying statistical principles to integrate multi-source data, including principal component analysis, Bayesian inference, and cluster analysis. Furthermore, the combination of model-based and statistical methods has driven the development of artificial intelligence, including fuzzy logic, rough sets, Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), neural networks, and machine learning. The emergence of machine learning and data mining has accelerated the evolution of MSDF, enabling it to encompass more complex and automated data integration strategies. However, the "black box" nature of these models complicates the reliability of the integration process and the accuracy of the resulting data. Furthermore, these models require large amounts of labeled data, which can be scarce or biased.

[0004] Information fusion methods based on DST are a prominent intelligent framework that allows for the representation of uncertainty and the combination of evidence from independent sources without the need for precise probability assignments. DST has been widely used in fields such as information fusion, multi-attribute decision-making, and pattern recognition, and has been further developed into evidential reasoning (ER). Zhang et al. designed an ER rule-based structural health assessment method (CL Zhang, ZJ Zhou, GY Hu, LH Yang, and SWTang, “Health assessment of the wharf based on evidential reasoning rule considering optimal sensor placement,” Measurement, vol. 186, pp. 110-184, 2021). By considering the optimal placement of sensors, they improved the accuracy of multi-sensor data fusion. Ren et al. developed a data fusion technique based on the ER rule (ML Ren, P. He, and JJ Zhou, “Decision fusion of two sensors object classification based on the evidential reasoning rule,” Expert Syst. Appl. vol. 210, pp. 118620, 2022), which takes into account differences in classification decisions and validates it on the Nuscenes and Waymo datasets. Liu et al. proposed an ozone prediction model based on the ER method (XQ Liu, YJ Zhang, JP Wang, H. Huang, and H. Yin, “Multi-source and multivariate ozone prediction based on fuzzy cognitive maps and evidential reasoning theory,” Applied Soft Comput. vol. 119, pp. 108600, 2022.), which improves the prediction accuracy of multi-source and multivariate time series data.Wu et al. proposed a tunnel collapse risk assessment method based on the ER method (B. Wu, WX Qiu, GW Meng, Y. Nong, and JSHuang, “A multi-source information fusion evaluation method for the tunnelingcollapse disaster based on the artificial intelligence deformationprediction,” Arabian J. Sci. Eng. vol. 47, no. 4, pp. 5053-5071, 2022.). Huang et al. proposed a multi-source transfer learning method based on the ER method (LQ Huang, JF Fan, WBZhao, and Y. You, “A new multi-source transfer learning method based on two-stage weighted fusion,” Knowl. Based Syst. vol. 262, pp. 110233, 2023.), which significantly improved classification accuracy. Sun and Guo proposed a dynamic fire danger level assessment technique based on particle swarm optimization (B. Sun, and T. Guo, “Evidential reasoning and lightweight multi-source heterogeneous data fusion-driven fire danger level dynamic assessment technique,” Process Safety. Environ. Protect., vol. 185, pp. 350-366, 2024.), which can process multi-source heterogeneous data.

[0005] Although existing research has significantly advanced the development of evidence theory, it still has significant flaws, such as "counter-intuitive" problems and the combinatorial explosion problem in large-scale data fusion. In particular, when ER is applied to multi-source and multi-scale data fusion, it faces three challenges: (1) the difficulty of determining the confidence distribution of evidence; (2) the dilemma of achieving credible reasoning; and (3) the bottleneck of determining the reliability of evidence.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a credible evidence reasoning method for multi-source data fusion is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0079] Step 102: Build a multi-source decision-making information system.

[0080] In this step, the multi-source decision information system is composed of multiple independent single-source decision information systems. The single-source decision information system generates data for artificial intelligence training, and the multi-source decision information system is used to integrate the data used for artificial intelligence training; the single-source decision information system is composed of data samples, attributes, data matrices, mapping functions and decision feature sets; the mapping function establishes the mapping relationship between data samples, attributes and data matrices.

When there is an association relationship, calculate the total similarity between the elements in the data matrix and other similar elements.

[0082] In this step, a support matrix is designed to quantify the correlation between attributes of multi-source data, combining the concepts of similarity and distance to evaluate the relationship. First, the multi-source data of different scales are converted into confidence distributions to give them probabilistic meaning.

[0085] In step 110 , an identification framework is established based on the evidence, and the credibility of the evidence is calculated based on the weight and reliability of the evidence. Based on the credibility, a second confidence level and a basic probability mass distribution of the evidence are obtained.

[0086] Step 112: establishing a combined confidence between any two pieces of evidence based on the basic probability mass distribution and the second confidence level, and obtaining the confidence distribution of multiple pieces of evidence in the multi-source decision information system based on the combined confidence level.

[0087] The aforementioned credible evidence reasoning method for multi-source data fusion constructs a multi-source decision-making information system. Within this system, a support matrix is designed to quantify the correlations between attributes in multi-source data, integrating the concepts of similarity and distance to evaluate these relationships. First, multi-source data at different scales is converted into a confidence distribution, imbued with probabilistic meaning. This allows the generated evidence to be applied to multi-scale data fusion. Next, a credible evidence reasoning rule is constructed, in which the credibility of evidence is determined by its weight and reliability. By integrating multi-source data samples at different scales, the resulting confidence distribution is derived. This overcomes the difficulty of determining the confidence distribution of evidence.

[0088] In one embodiment, the multi-source decision information system is composed of multiple independent single-source decision information systems and can be described as follows:

[0089] ;

[0090] in, Represents a single-source decision information system; Include data samples, ; Include properties, ; is the data matrix consisting of all data samples, ; express middle No. A data matrix, . Is a mapping function that establishes , and The relationship between them. is the decision feature set, .

[0091] Table 1 shows a general MSDIS. Data samples sharing the same attributes between different data sources may be considered to be at different scales. From the attribute perspective, Can also be divided into A data matrix.

[0092] Table 1 A general MSDIS

[0093]

[0094] In one embodiment, the multi-source decision information system is divided into multiple data matrices according to attributes. , data matrix It can be expressed as , the dimension is , in , the data matrix is represented as:

[0095] ;

[0096] in, Representation attributes The corresponding data matrix, Each row of represents a sample, Each column represents a single-source decision information system; the elements in the data matrix are normalized to be expressed as:

[0097] ;

[0098] The normalized data matrix is obtained by using the normalized elements to represent the data matrix .

[0099] Table 1 shows the association between different data samples and different decision features. In order to quantify the relationship between different data sources, in one embodiment, the association between single-source decision information systems is determined based on the decision feature set:

[0100] ;

[0101] in, represents a data sample, represents the decision features in the decision feature set, , .

[0102] When there is an association relationship, the total similarity between the element in the data matrix and other similar elements is calculated as:

[0103] ;

[0104] When there is no correlation, the total distance between an element in the data matrix and other dissimilar elements is calculated as:

[0105] .

[0106] In another embodiment, the data matrix Elements in The support for an information system is defined as the sum of the total similarity between the element and similar elements and the total distance between the element and dissimilar elements. The specific description is as follows:

[0107] ;

[0108] Through normalization, the support matrix can be obtained , which contains each element in Support in By normalization For each row of In the properties Relative to the data source The first confidence level of is:

[0109] .

[0110] In one embodiment, based on the first confidence level, the evidence for generating a single-source decision information system is:

[0111] ;

[0112] in, Represents a data sample In the properties The evidence provided above and It is worth noting that confidence is only assigned to a single data source, and mixed data sources are not discussed in this application.

[0113] In one embodiment, the ER rule was initially proposed based on the Bayesian rule, the DS rule, and the ER algorithm. It is built on the so-called Framework of Discrimination (FoD), which is described as follows:

[0114] ;

[0115] in, It is A proposition, and , in the context of MSDIS, Equivalent to a single-source decision information system.

[0116] Once evidence is obtained from different data sources, whether and to what extent to trust this evidence remains an open question. Therefore, before making inferences, some consensus needs to be reached:

[0117] 1) Evidence To a certain extent, it is credible, which can be measured by the credibility index ( ) to measure.

[0118] 2) Evidence Weight contribute to its unreliability; in particular, It can characterize the degree to which evidence provides accurate judgments or assertions.

[0119] 3) Evidence Reliability Contributes to its unreliability; here, Defined as the degree to which evidence accurately reflects valid conclusions, results, or assessments.

[0120] In one embodiment, the credibility of the evidence is calculated based on the weight and reliability of the evidence:

[0121] .

[0122] The basic principle of the credibility formula is that when the reliability of evidence reaches its maximum value, the evidence is considered to be completely credible. On the contrary, when the reliability of evidence is lower than 1, its credibility increases with the weight of evidence. increased with the increase of .

[0123] Therefore, the first confidence can be rewritten as the second confidence as:

[0124] ;

[0125] in, and Evidence Assigned to and The probability mass of . is a power set, containing of The subsets are as follows:

[0126] ;

[0127] In the above analysis, the evidence The associated untrustworthiness is assigned to the power set and is calculated as ( ), the basic principle behind it is that Reflects global uncertainty or unknown factors, which can indirectly reveal The degree of doubt about the proposition.

[0128] Therefore, the evidence The basic probability mass distribution of can be expressed as:

[0129] ;

[0130] in, .

[0131] In one embodiment, based on the description of the identification framework above, there are two pieces of evidence and , whose weight and reliability are and . and The combination follows the following process:

[0132] ;

[0133] ;

[0134] ;

[0135] ;

[0136] ;

[0137] In the above formula, and Represent evidence separately Assigned to and The probability mass of . and Assigned to and The unnormalized combined probability mass of is generated by the orthogonal sum operator. and Assigned to and Normalized combined probability mass. After the combination is assigned to The confidence level, , obviously, .

[0138] If there is The confidence distribution of the combined result can be generated by iteratively applying the above calculation process, as follows:

[0139] ;

[0140] in, is the joint credibility of all evidence. It's essentially a new piece of evidence.

[0141] property The optimal data source or data scale can be determined by the following formula:

[0142] .

[0143] Data samples from the optimal data source for each attribute can be selected from the MSDIS to construct the final integrated system. In theory, by integrating different data sources and data scales and combining them with the selection of high-quality data, this system ensures a more comprehensive consideration of the unique characteristics of each data source and improves the credibility and reliability of the information system.

[0144] The following example illustrates the application of the invented method, using the communication support capability assessment of a communication support drone. The drone's communication coverage radius (km), maneuvering speed (km / h), and payload capacity (kg) were selected as evaluation metrics. Data was collected using three different sensors: one for each sensor. When establishing a multi-source decision-making information system, the single-source decision-making information system generated sample data from a single sensor. The processed simulation data is shown in Table 2.

[0145] Table 2 UAV communication capability evaluation test data

[0146]

[0147] In Table 2, the three attributes Corresponding to three evaluation indicators: communication coverage radius, maneuvering speed and load capacity, three data sources Corresponding to three sensors with three different precisions, the three data samples are recorded as , the three decision features {1, 2, 3} represent the data accuracy as “high”, “medium” and “low” respectively. For example, the data matrix is as follows:

[0148] ;

[0149] This gives the normalized data matrix As shown below:

[0150] ;

[0151] As can be seen from Table 2, the three groups of samples are all different samples. Therefore, The total similarity and total distance can be calculated as follows:

[0152] ;

[0153] ;

[0154] therefore, The support degree of is 1.67; by analogy, the support matrix can be obtained as follows:

[0155] ;

[0156] This allows you to determine the properties The confidence level of each data source relative to all data samples. For example:

[0157] ;

[0158] Therefore, the basic credibility matrix can be obtained:

[0159] ;

[0160] In the above formula, Each row of reflects the evidence for a data sample. Assume 、 and The weights are Then, the reliability of each piece of evidence can be calculated as follows:

[0161] ;

[0162] ;

[0163] Therefore, the basic probability distribution is as follows:

[0164] ;

[0165] The above formula shows that the credibility of each piece of evidence is as high as 0.5456, 0.5452, and 0.5456 respectively. By using the evidence reasoning rules, the fusion results can be described as follows:

[0166] ;

[0167] It is clear that the credibility of the fusion result is significantly improved compared to any single initial evidence. This also shows that ER rules can effectively improve the credibility of inference results by integrating evidence from different data sources.

[0168] Similarly, for the attribute and , the fusion results are as follows:

[0169] ;

[0170] According to the above results, 、 and The optimal data sources are 、 and Therefore, the final fusion is shown in Table 3.
