Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer-usable program product for validating expected cohort behavior. In one embodiment, sensory data gathered by a set of multimodal sensor devices is processed to form a set of actual cohort behavior data. The sensory data comprises information associated with a cohort group. Each member of the cohort group shares at least one common attribute. The set of actual cohort behavior data is compared to a set of predicted cohort behavior models. The set of actual cohort behavior data comprises information describing actual behavior by members of the cohort group. The set of predicted cohort behavior models comprises information describing an expected behavior of members of the cohort group. A comparison result is generated. The comparison result indicates an accuracy of the set of predicted cohort behavior models.
