Abstract

To provide intelligent service in mobile environment, it needs to estimate user's intention or requirement, through analyzing context information of end-users such as preference or behavior patterns. In this paper, we infer context information from uncertain log stored in mobile device. And we propose the inference method of end-user's behavior to match context information with service, and the proposed method is based on context-tree. We adopt bayesian probabilistic method to infer uncertain context information effectively, and the context-tree is constructed to utilize non-numerical context which is hard to handled with mathematical method. And we verify utility of proposed method by appling the method to intelligent phone book service.

모바일 환경에서 지능형 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 사용자의 성향이나 행동패턴 둥의 컨텍스트 정보를 효과적으로 분석하여 사용자의 의도나 요구사항을 예측할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 디바이스에 축적된 불확실한 로그 정보에서 컨텍스트 정보를 추론하고, 이를 효과적으로 서비스와 매칭해 주기 위한 컨텍스트 트리 기반 사용자 행동 추론 방법을 제안한다. 이 때 불확실한 컨텍스트 정보를 효과적으로 추론하기 위해 베이지안 확률 접근 방법을 채택하였으며, 컨텍스트 트리는 수학적인 방법만으로는 다룰 수 없는 비 수치적인 컨텍스트를 효과적으로 활용하기 위해 선택한 구조이다. 그리고 제안하는 방법을 지능형 전화상대 추천 서비스에 적용하여 유용성을 검증하였다.
