Towards Personalization of User Preferences in Partially Observable Smart Home Environments

no code implementations2 Dec 2021 Shashi Suman, Francois Rivest, Ali Etemad

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian Reinforcement learning framework that can approximate the current occupant state in a partially observable smart home environment using its thermal preference, and then identify the occupant as a new user or someone is already known to the system.

Interval Timing: Modeling the break-run-break pattern using start/stop threshold-less drift-diffusion model

no code implementations14 Jun 2021 Jason Zwicker, Francois Rivest

It is commonly assumed that in order to achieve the statistics with a pacemaker accumulator model it is necessary to have start and stop thresholds.

Latent Time-Adaptive Drift-Diffusion Model

no code implementations4 Jun 2021 Gabriele Cimolino, Francois Rivest

Animals can quickly learn the timing of events with fixed intervals and their rate of acquisition does not depend on the length of the interval.

Potential Impacts of Smart Homes on Human Behavior: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

no code implementations26 Feb 2021 Shashi Suman, Ali Etemad, Francois Rivest

We then investigate the possibility of human behavior being altered as a result of the smart home and the human model adapting to one-another.

Adaptive Drift-Diffusion Process to Learn Time Intervals

1 code implementation11 Mar 2011 Francois Rivest, Yoshua Bengio

We provide an analytical proof that the model can learn inter-event intervals in a number of trials independent of the interval size and that the temporal precision of the system is proportional to the timed interval.
