Abstract:

In our research, we are investigating how to apply artificial intelligence
and data mining techniques in wireless computing.  Our research group is
designing client-based algorithms that can not only tell us where we are,
but also predict what we are doing next. We can envision several important
applications of the emerging wireless intelligence technology, including
healthcare for the elderly and sick people and the provision of timely and
useful context-dependent services for shoppers and logistic support.  In
this talk, I will give an overview of the emerging area where wireless
technology meets artificial intelligence. I will discuss some recent
advances in this area and present some ongoing work of our own.
