Evidence combination with multi-granularity belief structure for pattern classification
Belief function (BF) theory provides a framework for effective modeling, quantifying uncertainty, and combining evidence, rendering it a potent tool for tackling uncertain decision-making problems. However, with the expansion of the frame of discernment, the increasing number of focal elements processed during the fusion procedure leads to a rapid increase in computational complexity, which limits the practical application of BF theory. To overcome this issue, a novel multi-granularity belief structure (MGBS) method was proposed in this study. The construction of MGBS reduced the number of focal elements and preserved crucial information in the basic belief assignment. This effectively reduced the computational complexity of fusion while ensuring the highest possible classification accuracy. We applied the proposed MGBS algorithm to a human activity recognition task and verified its effectiveness using the University of California, Irvine mHealth, PAMAP2, and Smartphone datasets.
