18.11.2005: Context Cues project receives funding from Academy of Finland

The Academy of Finland has awarded HIIT a 4-year grant for the project Context Cues: Context data derived situation cues to support meaningful interactions. The project will apply a novel social psychological approach to situation cues in ubiquitous computing environments, how can they be used to make meaningful inferences, and how these inferences to provide a basis for socially meaningful, transparent and accountable action. In a parallel line of work, the project will investigate how cues can be reliably inferred from real sensor data through data mining models of situation data validated by laboratory experiments on human inferences. The project continues the work of the Context project (2002-2005) and will launch on January 1, 2006. For more information, contact Prof. Martti Mäntylä or Ph.Lic. Antti Oulasvirta).
