Research
My phd thesis ("Action-based models of landmarks") is concerned with smartphone-based pedestrian navigation systems. I focus on ways of determining the salience of objects collaboratively - a process the term "Collaborative Landmark Mining" was coined for. Based on these salience assessments, I analyze as to whether a suitable point in time to refer to a salient object may be determined as a function of its salience, the person's cognitive map and her sense of direction.
