ContextSense

User-centric ambient social contexts can be effectively captured by dynamic bluetooth data. However, conventional approaches for training classifiers struggle with social contexts that are incrementally constructed and continuously discovered in everyday environments. Incremental social contexts can confuse a classifier because it assumes that the number and composition of context classes is fixed throughout training and inference phases. To address this challenge we propose ContextSense, an ELM-based learning method for continuous and unobtrusive discovery of new social contexts incrementally from dynamic bluetooth data. Experimental results show that ContextSense can automatically cope with "incremental social context" classes that appear unpredictably in the real-world.
