Context-Aware Human Activity Recognition (CAHAR) in-the-Wild Using Smartphone Accelerometer

摘要

Smartphones are a promising platform for continuous monitoring of human behavior. However, the ability to capture people's behavioral patterns in-the-wild is a challenge, as the user's behavior and physical activities can vary, given the variability of settings and environments. Modeling and understanding of human activity in-the-wild must not overlook a user's behavioral context, which is just as crucial as recognizing the range of physical activities. The work in this paper presents a novel framework for context-aware human activity recognition by incorporating human behavioral contexts with physical activities. The proposed framework utilizes a series of machine learning classifiers to validate the efficiency of the proposed method.
