Machine Learning Methods and Technologies for Ubiquitous Computing

The research proposal concerns the use of machine learning techniques for data mining in pervasive environments. It will lead to the formalization of a framework, able to translate series of "raw" data in high-level knowledge. Novel machine learning approaches, interpreting data coming from the environment that surrounds users, will be liver- Aged. Data will be collected through micro-components deployed in the field and will be processed for the identification and characterization of phenomena and contexts. Eventually they will be semantically annotated to support futher application-level logic-based reasoning and knowledge discovery.
