Multi-Resident Data Association in Smart Homes via MDP Modeling and Behavior Cloning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a new framework for multi-resident data association in smart homes, framing the problem as a Markov Decision Process and solving it with Behavior Cloning. Two policy architectures are proposed: a lightweight Transformer treating association as multi-label classification over event histories, and a fine-tuned Large Language Model that generates conditional text to leverage semantic knowledge. Experiments on three datasets show the approach outperforms existing baselines, especially for concurrent multi-resident events, and the LLM policy hints at cross-environment transfer potential.

ZeroHAT: Behavior-Conditioned Zero-Shot Human Activity Trace Generation

ZeroHAT is a new framework for generating synthetic human activity traces (HATs) in a target region without any real data from that region. It transfers behavioral patterns learned from real HATs in source regions and adapts them using publicly available contextual information about the target region. The system includes a consistency-aware intent extractor, a cross-region behavioral cloning module, and a behavior-conditioned activity realization module, and it outperforms the strongest baseline by 4.5–6.4× in downstream utility and improves fidelity by 15.6–40.8% across ten cities.
