• Abstract: The embedded sensors in widely used smartphones and other wearable devices make the data of human activities more accessible. However, recognizing different human activities from the wearable sensor data remains a challenging research problem in ubiquitous computing. One of the reasons is that the majority of the acquired data has no labels. In this paper, we present an unsupervised approach, which is based on the nature of human activity, to project the human activities into an embedding space in which similar activities will be located closely together. Using this, subsequent clustering algorithms can benefit from the embeddings, forming behavior clusters that represent the distinct activities performed by a person. Results of experiments on three labeled benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework and show that our approach can help the clustering algorithm achieve improved performance in identifying and categorizing the underlying human activities compared to unsupervised techniques applied directly to the original data set.

  We present an empirical study that evaluates and contrasts four commonly employed annotation methods in user studies focused on in-the-wild data collection. For both the user-driven, in situ annotations, where participants annotate their activities during the actual recording process, and the recall methods, where participants retrospectively annotate their data at the end of each day, the participants had the flexibility to select their own set of activity classes and corresponding labels.

  Acquiring balanced datasets containing accurate activity labels requires humans to correctly annotate and potentially interfere with the subjects' normal activities in real-time. We propose HAR-GCCN, a deep graph CNN model that leverages the correlation between chronologically adjacent sensor measurements to predict the correct labels for unclassified activities. Har-GCCN shows superior performance relative to previously used baseline methods, improving classification accuracy by about 25% and up to 68% on different datasets.

We observe that there exist natural correlations and anti-correlations among human-object interactions. We present techniques to learn these priors and leverage them for more effective training, especially in rare classes.
