Abstract

Performing daily activities without assistance is important to maintaining an independent functional lifestyle. As a result, automated activity prompting systems can potentially extend the period of time that adults can age in place. In this paper we introduce AP, an algorithm to automate activity prompting based on smart home technology. AP learns prompt rules based on the time when activities are typically performed as well as the relationship between activities that normally occur in a sequence. We evaluate the AP algorithm based on smart home datasets and demonstrate its ability to operate within a physical smart environment.

  • Rule-based activity forecasting relies on the particular rule representation and discovery method and is not sensitive to more complex relationships between activities.

    “Rule-based approaches rely on the particular rule representation and discovery method that is used and will not be sensitive to more complex relationships between activities.”

    From Forecasting occurrences of activities (2017) · cites this paper as [2]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) says this paper’s learned rules use a relative activity and a time offset, while other factors could influence activity timing. That supports a limitation of this particular rule representation, but not the claim that rule-based approaches generally cannot capture more complex relationships; the Methods also describe rules involving multiple relative activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
