• Abstract: This article presents a case study demonstrating a non-intrusive method for the well-being monitoring of elderly people. It is based on our real-time energy measurement system, which uses tiny beacons attached to electricity meters. Four participants aged 67-82 years took part in our study. We observed their electric power consumption for approx. a month, and then we analyzed them, taking into account the participants' notes on their activities. We created typical daily usage profiles for each participant and used anomaly detection to find unusual energy consumption. We found out that real-time energy measurement can give significant insight into someone's daily activities and, consequently, bring invaluable information to caregivers about the well-being of an elderly person, while being discreet and entirely non-intrusive.

  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.

  We propose and test a new framework for understanding residential electricity demand by using a dynamic energy lifestyles approach. We apply Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to extract a series of latent household energy attributes. We examine this approach by running experiments on one year of hourly smart meter data from 60,000 households.

  Energy disaggregation, also known as non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), challenges the problem of separating the whole-home electricity usage into appliance-specific individual consumptions. Recent advances reveal that deep neural networks (DNNs) can get favorable performance for NILM. We introduce the idea of adversarial learning into NILM, which is new for the energy disaggregation task.
