Program description
Recently, the progress in Internet of Things platforms has allowed the collection of large amounts of sensing data. Using this large-scale sensing data in real-world applications is a challenging problem. Motivated by applications related to smart buildings, the goal of this research program is to develop explainable AI techniques for challenging tasks using sensor data. Examples of tasks include but not limited to: estimating and predicting the approximate number of people in a smart building, recognizing the occupants’ activities, predicting future activity occurrence time, energy consumption forecasting, etc.
