• Abstract: Human Activity Recognition (HAR), based on machine and deep learning algorithms is considered one of the most promising technologies to monitor professional and daily life activities for different categories of people (e.g., athletes, elderly, kids, employers) in order to provide a variety of services related, for example to well-being, empowering of technical performances, prevention of risky situation, and educational purposes. However, the analysis of the effectiveness and the efficiency of HAR methodologies suffers from the lack of a standard workflow, which might represent the baseline for the estimation of the quality of the developed pattern recognition models. This makes the comparison among different approaches a challenging task. In addition, researchers can make mistakes that, when not detected, definitely affect the achieved results. To mitigate such issues, this paper proposes an open-source automatic and highly configurable framework, named B-HAR, for the definition, standardization, and development of a baseline framework in order to evaluate and compare HAR methodologies. It implements the most popular data processing methods for data preparation and the most commonly used machine and deep learning pattern recognition models.

  We argue that when problem conditions such as the distributions of random variables change, the patterns that performed well in previous circumstances may become less effective. We propose a novel scheme to efficiently identify patterns and dynamically quantify their values for each specific condition. Our method quantifies the value of patterns based on their ability to satisfy constraints and their effects on the objective value.

  The general idea behind randomHAR is training a series of deep learning models with the same architecture on randomly selected sensor data. In contrast to existing work, this approach optimize the ensemble process rather than the architecture of the constituent models. The experiment demonstrates that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art method, ensembleLSTM.
