Context Prediction of Mobile Users Based on Time-Inferred Pattern Networks: A Probabilistic Approach

We present a probabilistic method of predicting context of mobile users based on their historic context data. The presented method predicts general context based on probability theory through a novel graphical data structure, which is a kind of weighted directed multigraphs. User context data are tr...
