In coming years residential consumers will face real-time electricity tariffs with energy prices varying day to day, and effective energy saving will require automation - a recommender system, which learns consumer's preferences from her actions. A consumer chooses a scenario of home appliance use to balance her comfor…
Study uses SVM to predict weather-induced home insurance claims and losses.
Active sensing improves energy breakdown without installing sensors.
In this article, we develop a model for the evolution of real estate prices. A wide range of inputs, including stochastic interest rates and changing demands for the asset, are considered. Maximizing their expected utility, home owners make optimal sale decisions given these changing market conditions. Using these opti…
Proposes a novel Out-of-Bag anomaly detection method for ML systems.
SafeAccess is an integrated system designed to provide easier and safer access to a smart home for people with or without disabilities. The system is designed to enhance safety and promote the independence of people with disability (i.e., visually impaired). The key functionality of the system includes the detection an…
Twitter releases dataset to study user engagement on Home Timeline, focusing on privacy.
New method generates geolocated synthetic populations from real data.
The real estate market is exposed to many fluctuations in prices because of existing correlations with many variables, some of which cannot be controlled or might even be unknown. Housing prices can increase rapidly (or in some cases, also drop very fast), yet the numerous listings available online where houses are sol…
Satellite images improve real-estate price predictions.
Study shows how algorithmic prediction affects US housing market, reducing racial wealth disparities.
Process mining is a research field focused on the analysis of event data with the aim of extracting insights in processes. Applying process mining techniques on data from smart home environments has the potential to provide valuable insights in (un)healthy habits and to contribute to ambient assisted living solutions. …
Automated model tracks mouse behavior in home cages.
FedRule uses graph neural networks to recommend rules for smart homes without centralizing data.
Deep learning predicts baseball home runs with better accuracy.
New mortgage contracts reduce underwater default by adjusting loan balances, but must balance prepayment incentives.
Non-intrusive load monitoring or energy disaggregation involves estimating the power consumption of individual appliances from measurements of the total power consumption of a home. Deep neural networks have been shown to be effective for energy disaggregation. In this work, we present a deep neural network architectur…
We analyze the quarterly average sale prices of new houses sold in the USA as a whole, in the northeast, midwest, south, and west of the USA, in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia of the USA, to determine whether they have grown faster-than-exponential which we take as the diagnostic of a bubble. We fin…
The emergence of an ageing population is a significant public health concern. This has led to an increase in the number of people living with progressive neurodegenerative disorders like dementia. Consequently, the strain this is places on health and social care services means providing 24-hour monitoring is not sustai…
