Trust Quantification for Autonomous Medical Advisory Systems
In: 2021 18th International Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST), IEEE.
Autonomous Medical Advisory Systems (AMAS) integrate sensors and implement learning technologies to provide intelligent and real-time recommendations. In this paper, we propose a formal framework for quantifying trust using the Bayesian network for the sensor layer of AMAS systems. First, we identify the various factors influencing trust in this context. We make the factors granular enough such that the probability of the trust for the factor to be in a specific state can be measured. Then, using a probabilistic graphical model, we impose a compact structure to the identified factors such that the posterior probability of the trustworthiness of the entire system or its constituents can be computed. Parameterized cases of Bayesian network are simulated in MATLAB to demonstrate the applicability and scalability of the model for trust inference.
