ABSTRACT:
A method and computer product is disclosed for arbitrating the outputs of a plurality of recognizers to select a hypothesis associated with a given input from a plurality of hypotheses. Fuzzy membership states are assigned to respective candidate outputs of the plurality of recognizers. At least one rule is selected according to the assigned fuzzy membership states. A selected rule provides a determined amount of support mass for an associated one of the plurality of hypotheses and a determined amount of uncertainty mass. A support value for each hypothesis and an overall uncertainty are determined from the provided mass values. A hypothesis having a highest support value while having an acceptable low level of uncertainty is selected.
