ABSTRACT
Predicting the future actions of individuals from geospatial data has the potential to provide a basis for tailored services. This work presents the Predictive Context Tree (PCT), a new hierarchical classifier based on the Context Tree summary model [8]. The PCT is capable of predicting the future contexts and locations of individuals to provide a basis for understanding not only where a user will be, but also what type of activity they will be performing. Through a comparison to established techniques, this paper demonstrates the applicability of the PCT by showing increased accuracies for location prediction, and increased utility through context prediction.

CONTEXT'11: Proceedings of the 7th international and interdisciplinary conference on Modeling and using contextContext aware applications are reactive, they adapt to an entity's context when the context has changed. In order to become proactive and act before the context actually has changed future contexts have to be predicted. This will enable functionalities ...
