Abstract

The representation of information based on symbolstrings has been applied to the recognition of context. Aframework for approaching the context recognition problemhas been described and interpreted in terms of symbolstring recognition. The Symbol String Clustering Map(SCM) is introduced as an efficient algorithm for the unsupervisedclustering and recognition of symbol string data.The SCM can be implemented in an on line manner usinga computationally simple similarity measure based ona weighted average. It is shown how measured sensor datacan be processed by the SCM algorithm to learn, representand distinguish different user contexts without any user input.
