About the Project
Smart IoT (Internet Of Things) based Applications, such as smart city/building/home and smart factory, are characterized as sensor-driven technology, which has the tendency of producing huge volume of data with increasing velocity. The resulting data produced by these applications are mostly used to support organisation, planning, interpretation and decision-making activities such as context modelling, system adaptation and system evolution. However, these data come with a number of quality issues that collectively results in uncertainties and inconsistencies.
In this project, we aim to innovatively integrate semantics-based data modelling and analysis with continuous deep learning to provide a novel effective solution to the above problem.
The semantic data model will provide a machine-understandable foundation for the IoT data and its analysis, and will be able to produce near real-time solution for the detection and correction of IoT data uncertainties. However, this semantic model may be static and imprecise to cope with the highly dynamic nature of IoT systems and the data they have been generating. Therefore, we propose to use deep learning to support the continuous evolution of the semantic model and its data analysis algorithms.
