I do not know of anyone in the IP community having discussed them publicly.

However, from skimming the books, it seems that Gorban has worked in relative isolation. He mentions Walley's 1991 book as an extra, uncited reference, but that seems to be it for the connection to our community. My impression is that his experimental results may be very relevant for the IP community as arguments for the use of IP models, even in cases where lots of data is available. Given his relative isolation, my guess is that the modeling tools we have available would be quite useful in his endeavor. He appears to use mostly p-box type models for overcoming the limitations of classical probability theory (but don't cite me on this). Best, Erik -- https://ac.erikquaeghebeur.name
