Abstract

In this chapter, we explore the discretization of the continuous time-series data to generate temporal segments according to the behavioral patterns of the users, which is used as the basis of generating rules based on temporal context. Although a static segmentation approach is straightforward to comprehend and can be beneficial for analyzing population behavior by comparing across individuals, the generated static segments do not always map to individual user activity patterns and subsequent behavior. As a result, we focus on dynamic segmentation by taking into account individuals’ various usage or activities with their phones during the week. We present a behavior-oriented time segmentation methodology that uses phone usage data to generate optimal time segments of individuals with similar behavioral characteristics. Moreover, how the generated segments can be used to produce a set of temporal behavioral rules according to users’ preferences, has been presented. Finally, some experimental results to show the effectiveness of the technique have also been provided.
