IoTGen, an LLM-based framework, generates synthetic user behavior sequences for smart homes, enabling adaptive training of intelligent models. It incorporates a Structure Pattern Perception Compression (SPPC) module, which reduces LLM input token length while preserving critical sequence information, demonstrating comparable performance to full dataset training in anomaly detection evaluations.

Key insights

  • Traditional similarity-based data compression methods are inadequate for smart home behavior sequences, as they risk losing distinct yet crucial pattern information.
  • Autoencoder-based reconstruction error can effectively quantify the 'importance' of structural patterns in IoT data, enabling efficient compression without compromising critical information for downstream tasks.
  • Large Language Models, when provided with structured prompts and compressed contextual data, can perform complex reasoning to adapt and generate realistic user behavior sequences for changing smart home environments.
