<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Abstract: </b>Augmenting human perceptual and reasoning capability by leveraging machine intelligence has been on the agenda of AI exploration since its inception. The recent developments in sensing technology
make it possible to generate and accumulate massive amounts of high frequency multimodal data. This creates new opportunities for automating the analysis of this type of data where the dynamic and time sensitive decision making plays a major role in quality
of service. In this thesis, I conduct simultaneous investigation in two presumably unrelated domains: monitoring of patients for instability in critical care, and monitoring elementary school students for their cognitive and affective states during math problem
solving exercises. Those two contexts share similar monitoring paradigms with similar challenges, and offer comparable opportunities with high frequency multimodal observations. The goal of my thesis is to explore and demonstrate the practical utility of multimodal
analytics of high frequency monitoring data in support of decision making in those contexts. <u></u><u></u></p>
