Many current applications have approached this problem by trying to tailor the user experience by using various aspects known about the user’s location as the user context. The next step in personalization is determining what is of interest to the user beyond just the user’s immediate situation. A number of studies have tried to address this issue from the perspective of predicting the next location based on prior travel history [1]. In this work, we examine the question of what may be relevant based on what future events a user will be planning beyond just the next activity. To explore this we address two key questions: 1) when are plans made about a particular type of activity; 2) how do the different aspects of these plans get finalized.","PeriodicalId":43578,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Computing and Communications Review","volume":"8 1","pages":"17-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77525085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When speech-enabled interactions are few, keyword-based interfaces [1] that require users to remember precise invocations are adequate. As the number of such interactions increases, users are more likely to forget keywords, and spoken natural language (SNL) interfaces that allow users to express their functional intent without conforming to a rigid syntax become desirable. Prominent “first-party” systems such as Siri and Google Voice Search offer such functionality on select domains today. In this demo, we present a system, NLify, which enables any (“third-party”) developer to add an SNL interface to their application. The key challenge behind the system is that there exists much variability even for a simple command. Worse, noise in speech recognition introduces additional variability. To address this challenge, we use webscale crowdsourcing and automated statistical machine paraphrasing to aid developers to cover much of the possible input space. In addition, we use a statistical language model [2] instead of deterministic one to further handle variability as it provides more tolerance against missing or reordered words. Figure 2 illustrates the overall architecture of NLify. NLify is fully integrated into the Windows Phone 8 development process in the form of a Visual Studio extension whose snapshot is presented in Figure 1. And a quantitative evaluation shows that NLify achieves overall recognition rates of 85% across intents.","PeriodicalId":43578,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Computing and Communications Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78682602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We envision that three groups of people will benefit from the Bugu service. For end users, they know applications' power behavior which in turn helps them to decide which applications to install and run. For application developers, they could understand which events cause such amount of power dissipation and focus on optimizing them. For system developers, the insights provided by the Bugu service will enable them to understand the potential problem of the system so that further optimization can be enhanced.","PeriodicalId":43578,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Computing and Communications Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"27-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86266069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collected data streams are intended to allow individuals and care givers to systematically monitor chronic conditions outside the clinical settings, to identify the lifestyle factors that may aggravate these conditions, and to support personalized patient self management. One of the key challenges in realizing this vision, is turning these diverse, noisy, and evolving data streams into actionable information. Ultimately we need to identify data stream features that can be automatically extracted and fed back to apps and interventions in order to increase the effectiveness, autonomy and scalability of patient self-care. As part of a six-month pilot study in Los Angeles, we developed an end to end system to support health services researchers and other domain experts to data generated during an mHealth pilot with young mothers who collectively generated 15,599 survey responses and 3,834 days' worth of continuous mobility. In this poster, we present Lifestreams Dashboard, an interactive visualization platform designed to facilitate the exploration of mHealth data streams, and to aid the discussions with the participants. Lifestreams Dashboard is a module residing in the visualization layer of Lifestreams Data Analysis Software Stack [3], which supports a pipeline of personal analysis modules. It is intended to support identification and evaluation of datastream features in support of iterative design processes in which the developers build a prototype based on the requirements specified by the health researchers who evaluate the efficacy and usefulness through the interviews with real-world mHealth study participants. We use data acquired during our 6-month pilot in which the 44 young mothers recorded both self-reports and passive data about their diet, stress and exercise to demonstrate the functions of Lifestreams Dashbaord. These functions include: a. a change-detection-based filtering function that helps pinpoint the features that have been changed during the study 1 The geo-information in the map has been obfuscated to protect the participant privacy. b. a color-coded correlation matrix that helps select the features that possess correlations higher than a controllable threshold with other features c. a selective correlation analysis tool that helps the study of the correlations and the correlation changes between a group of heterogeneous features d. a location trace analysis module that helps discover patterns in participants' daily trajectories using wifi-signature clustering techniques (See Figure 1).
