abstract:
 
This paper proposes a semi-automatic three step information scoring process that starts from constructs representing structured pieces of information and a user query. It first identifies the constructs relevant to answer the user question, based on their similarity to the query. The relevant items are then individually scored, taking into account both the reliability of their source and the certainty the latter expresses through its choice of linguistic terms. Lastly, these individual scores are fused, modeling a corroboration process that takes into account information obsolescence and source relations. This procedure is performed in the framework of possibility theory, relying on the definition of the appropriate aggregation operators.
