Rethinking Indoor Localization and Tracking: A Conversational Approach to Positioning

People spend much of their time in large indoor environments such as work and school campuses, shopping malls and commercial complexes, transit hubs such airports and train stations, and cultural spaces like museums and art galleries, where the ability to localize and track user movement is critical for navigation and context-aware services. While GPS supports positioning outdoors, it cannot be used indoors, and existing alternatives either require costly infrastructure or suffer from issues such as drift and scalability. This proposal investigates a different perspective: treating the user as a sensor. Instead of relying solely on devices, the work shows how people’s natural descriptions of their surroundings can serve as lightweight, conversational inputs to achieve indoor positioning. Three strands of research form the basis of this proposal: (1) Conversational Localization, which studies whether user-provided descriptions can support one-shot indoor positioning; (2) Conversational Tracking, which integrat… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by Smitha SHESHADRI.
