Energy Prediction in Smart Environments

چکیده
In the past decade, smart home environment research has found application in many areas, such as activity recognition, visualization, and automation. However, less attention has been paid to monitoring, analyzing, and predicting energy usage in smart homes, despite the fact that electricity consumption in homes has grown dramatically. In this paper, we extract the useful features from sensor data collected in the smart home environment and select the most significant features based on mRMR feature selection criterion, then utilize three machine learning algorithms to predict energy use given these features. To validate these algorithms, we use real sensor data collected from volunteers living in our smart apartment testbed. We compare the performance between alternative learning algorithms and analyze the results of two experiments performed in the smart home.

Designing Smart Environments: A Paradigm Based on Learning and Prediction
This chapter proposes a learning and prediction based paradigm for designing smart home environments. The foundation of this paradigm lies in information theory as it manages uncertainties in inhabitants’ contexts (e.g., location or mobility, and activities) in daily lives. The underlying idea is to intelligently build compressed dictionaries of context profiles collected from sensor data, effi...

متن کاملPredictive Behavior Analysis for Smart Environments
Predictive behavior analysis allows prediction of the (human) behavior based on the analysis of historical data. Efficient approaches for predictive behavior analysis are available for scenarios with structured processes (e.g., based on ERP systems). The prediction of behavior becomes an obstacle when unstructured (decision making) processes underlie the scenario. Scenarios with unstructured pr...
