Project: “If This Then That” — Generating Predictive Rules for Smart Devices Based on Human Behavior

Mentor/Lab: Dr. Blase Ur & Weijia He (PhD Candidate, CS)/SUPERGroup

Research Area Keywords: Human-Computer Interaction // Internet of Things

I programmed features into the backend of an IoT application using a Django web framework. I helped a team of IoT researchers collect data using this app on participants’ interactions with smart devices. Our team is working on synthesizing data to automatically generate predictive IFTTT-style rules tailored to an individual user’s behavior. I also designed a visualization feature so that individuals can better understand their usage patterns and determine whether the generated rules align with their daily behaviors.
