What IoT devices and applications should be connected? Predicting user behaviors of IoT services with node2vec embedding

作者:

Highlights:

• We build an IoT application network to grasp user behavior in IoT services.

• The trigger-action relationships of the user-created applets on IFTTT are used.

• We predict the network to identify promising connections between IoT applications.

• Node2vec-based link prediction is conducted with ML classifiers.

• The proposed approach can be used for enhancing user experiences in IoT services.
