ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a valuation-based learning system. The system is configured to receive a plurality of inputs, each input being input evidence corresponding to a variable in a Dempster-Shafer Reasoning System. The Dempster-Shafer Reasoning System is a network of interconnected nodes, with each node representing a variable that is representative of a characteristic of a problem domain. A discount weight is then optimized for assigning to each of the inputs. A basic probability assignment (bpa) is generated using the Dempster-Shafer Reasoning System, and where the bpa is an output for use in determining a solution of the problem domain. Finally, a solution to the problem domain is determined using the bpa.
