Tensor-Based Factorial Hidden Markov Model for Cyber-Physical-Social Services

Abstract

With the rapid development and widespread application of information, computer, and communication technologies, Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) have gained increasing importance and attention. To enable intelligent applications and provide better services for CPSS users, efficient data analytical models are crucial. This paper presents a novel data analytic framework for CPSS services. First, a Tensor-Based Factorial Hidden Markov Model (T-FHMM) is introduced to comprehensively analyze multi-user activity features, enhancing CPSS activity analytics. A tensor-based Forward-Backward algorithm is then designed for T-FHMM to efficiently perform evaluation tasks using multiple probabilistic computing micro-services. Additionally, a tensor-based Baum-Welch algorithm is developed to accurately learn model parameters via parameter optimization micro-services. Furthermore, a tensor-based Viterbi algorithm is implemented with specific micro-services to improve prediction tasks. Finally, the comprehensive performance of the proposed model and algorithms is validated on three open datasets through self-comparison and other-comparison. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms compared methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
