Use of Evidence Theory for the Fusion and the Estimation of Relevance of Data Sources: Application to an Alcoholic Bioprocess
Théorie des Fonctions de Croyance pour la Fusion et L’Évaluation de la Pertinence des Sources D’Informations: Application À un Bioprocédé Fermentaire
OPEN ACCESS
In this paper,we present an application of the evidence theory for the classification of physiological states in a bioprocess.We are particularly interested by the relevance of the data sources which are here biochemical parameters measured during the bioprocess.The evidence theory,and more particularly the notion of conflict is used to evaluate the relevance of each data source.An other measure of conflict,based on a distance,is also used,and provides in some cases,better results than the classical notion of conflict of the evidence theory.Results are presented for two kinds of bioprocesses:batch process (which corresponds to a supervised classification) and fed-batch process (which corresponds to an unsupervised classification).
Résumé
Dans cet article,nous présentons une application de la théorie des fonctions de croyance pour la classification d’états physiologiques dans un bioprocédé. Nous nous intéressons surtout à la pertinence des sources d’informations qui sont ici des paramètres biochimiques mesurés durant le procédé. La théorie des fonctions de croyance,et plus particulièrement la notion de conflit est utilisée pour évaluer la pertinence de chaque source d’information. Une autre mesure du conflit,basée sur une distance,est utilisée comme alternative,et fournit dans certains cas,des résultats plus cohérents qu’avec le conflit défini dans la théorie de Demspter et Shafer. Les résultats concernant deux types de bioprocédés (procédé batch correspondant à une classification supervisée,et procédé fed-batch correspondant à une classification non supervisée) sont présentés.
