The domain of research of the thesis is knowledge representation and reasoning, a subfield of AI. Its objective is to evaluate abductive reasoning methods over sensor measurements performed in a home environment. Abductive reasoning in this context consists in finding logically sound hypotheses (e.g. ‘the dishwasher is on’) that explain observed sensor measurements (‘electric consumption has risen in the last two hours’) according to a model of human activity in a home.

The baseline assumption of the thesis is that only mínimal sensing is available in the home, as is the case in most homes today: smart meters provide aggregated values (every hour/day) but no information is available per room. Abductive reasoning is expected to help optimize home automation systems without relying on some ubiquitous sensing apparatus (which raises environmental, technical and privacy-preservation questions).

Several abduction mechanisms will be evaluated, including Abductive Logic Programming (for an exhaustive exploration of hypothesis space) and neural-symbolic integration methods (for a probabilistic exploration of hypothesis space)
