Instructor: Thierry Denoeux

Description: This course presents the main formalisms for uncertainty representation with emphasis on the theory of belief functions, which generalizes both probability theory and the set-membership approach (inclusing interval analysis). Numerous examples taken from different domains (Artificial Intelligence, multi-sensor fusion, numerical modeling) will illustrate the theoretical notions.
