Abstract

A lifetime recording agent that suggests unusual events to a user is proposed. The goal is to create a memory device that supports human memory by filtering, categorizing, and remembering everyday events. In ubiquitous sensor environments, the agent classifies users’ experiences represented by surrounding objects and predicts typical events that a user will experience next. Unusual events are detected by the awareness of different characteristics as the human brain does. If the prediction is incorrect, the actual event is considered to be unusual. A recurrent neural network that autonomously alters its architecture is introduced to perform event prediction. Experiments confirm: (1) a suitable hierarchical level of event categories for a current situation can be obtained by estimating the event prediction performance, that is, the recall rate and (2) rehearsal sequences dynamically generated by the network can substitute for a sequence of actual events. Thus, the agent easily responds to new environments without forgetting previous memories.
