Applications of natural language techniques in solving smarthome use-cases

Abstract

This paper demonstrates approaches in solving use-cases arising in smart home scenarios which includes activity discovery and routine recommendation for home automation using principles that essentially applies to the field of natural language processing. We have developed methods and built a prototype system to address such use-cases. All the components are built using state of the art natural language techniques and the results are shown to be meaningful when applied in context of addressing smart home use-cases.
