• Abstract: Current studies in Human Activity Recognition (HAR) primarily focus on the classification of activities through sensor data, while there is not much emphasis placed on recognizing the individuals performing these activities. This type of classification is very important for developing personalized and context-sensitive applications. Additionally, the issue of missing sensor data, which often occurs in practical situations due to hardware malfunctions, has not been explored yet. This paper seeks to fill these voids by introducing a lightweight LSTM-based model that can be used to classify both activities and subjects. The proposed model was used to classify the HAR dataset by UCI [1], achieving an accuracy of 93.89% in activity recognition (across six activities), nearing the 96.67% benchmark, and an accuracy of 80.19% in subject recognition (involving 30 subjects), thereby establishing a new baseline for this area of research. We then simulate the absence of sensor data to mirror real-world scenarios and incorporate imputation techniques, both with and without Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to restore incomplete datasets. We found that K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) imputation performs the best for filling the missing sensor data without PCA because the use of PCA resulted in slightly lower accuracy. These results demonstrate how well the framework handles missing sensor data, which is a major step forward in using the Human Activity Recognition dataset for reliable classification tasks.

  Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on sensor data has become an active research topic in the field of machine learning.

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.
