Abstract

In the past decade multimedia systems have started including diverse modes of data to understand complex situations and build more sophisticated models. Some increasingly common modes in multimedia are intertwined data streams from sensor modalities such as wearable/mobile, environmental, and biosensors. These data streams offer new information sources to model and predict complex world situations as well as understanding and modeling humans. This paper makes two contributions to the modeling and analysis of multimodal data in the context of user behavior analysis. First, it introduces the use of a concept lattice based data fusion technique for recognizing events. Concept lattices are very effective when enough labeled data samples are not available for supervised machine learning algorithms, but human knowledge is available to develop classification approaches for recognition. Life events encode activities of daily living, and environmental events encode states and state transitions in environmental variables. Second, it introduces a framework that detects frequent co-occurrence patterns as sequential and parallel relations among events from multiple event streams. We show the applicability of our approach in finding interesting human behavior patterns by using longitudinal mobile data collected from 23 users over 1–2 months.
