Abstract
Ambient assisted living (AAL) makes it possible to build assistance for older adults according to the person’s context. Understanding the person’s context sometimes involves transforming one’s home into a smart home. Typically, this is carried out using nonintrusively distributed sensors and calm technologies. Older adults often have difficulty performing activities of daily living, such as taking medication, drinking coffee, watching television, using certain electronic devices, and dressing. This difficulty is even greater when these older adults suffer from cognitive impairments. Defining an assistance solution requires a multidisciplinary and iterative collaborative approach. It is necessary, therefore, to reason about the imperatives and solutions of this multidisciplinary collaboration (e.g., clinical), as well as the adaptation of technical constraints (e.g., technologies). A common approach to reasoning is to represent knowledge using logic-based formalisms, such as ontologies. However, there is not yet an established ontology that defines concepts such as multidisciplinary collaboration in successive stages of the assistance process. This article presents OntoDomus, an ontology that describes, at several levels, the semantic interactions between ambient assisted living, context awareness, smart home, and Internet of Things, based on multidisciplinarity. It revolves around two main notions: multidisciplinarity, based on specific sub-ontologies and the ambient feedback loop. OntoDomus combines SPARQL queries and OWL 2 models to improve the reusability of domain terminology, allowing stakeholders to represent their knowledge in different collaborative and adaptive situations. The ontological model is validated, first by its reuse in more specific works—specific to an aspect of ambient assistance. Second, it is validated by the structuring of ambient knowledge and inferences of the formalization in a case study that includes instances for a particular activity of daily living. It places the ambient feedback loop at the center of the ontology by focusing on highly expressive domain ontology formalisms with a low level of expressiveness between them.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
