In this work, we propose a novel Generative Adversarial Stacked Autoencoder that learns to map facial expressions, with up to plus or minus 60 degrees, to an illumination invariant facial representation of 0 degrees. We accomplish this by using a novel convolutional layer that exploits both local and global spatial information, and a convolutional layer with a reduced number of parameters that exploits facial symmetry. Furthermore, we introduce a generative adversarial gradual greedy layer-wise learning algorithm designed to train Adversarial Autoencoders in an efficient and incremental manner…

This paper studies the emotion recognition from musical tracks in the 2-dimensional valence-arousal (V-A) emotional space. We propose a method based on convolutional (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN), having significantly fewer parameters compared with the state-of-the-art method for the same task. We utilize one CNN layer followed by two branches of RNNs trained separately for arousal and valence. The method was evaluated using the 'MediaEval2015 emotion in music' dataset. We achieved an RMSE of 0.202 for arousal and 0.268 for valence, which is the best result reported on this dataset…

This work attempts to find the most optimal parameter setting of a deep artificial neural network (ANN) for Bengali digit dataset by pre-training it using stacked denoising autoencoder (SDA). Although SDA based recognition is hugely popular in image, speech and language processing related tasks among the researchers, it was never tried in Bengali dataset recognition. For this work, a dataset of 70000 handwritten samples were used from (Chowdhury and Rahman, 2016) and was recognized using several settings of network architecture. Among all these settings, the most optimal setting being found to…
Feature extraction is crucial for human activity recognition (HAR) using body-worn movement sensors. Recently, learned representations have been used successfully, offering promising alternatives to manually engineered features. Our work focuses on effective use of small amounts of labeled data and the opportunistic exploitation of unlabeled data that are straightforward to collect in mobile and ubiquitous computing scenarios. We hypothesize and demonstrate that explicitly considering the temporality of sensor data at representation level plays an important role for effective HAR in challengin…
Increasingly, human behavior is captured on mobile devices, leading to an increased interest in automated human activity recognition. However, existing datasets typically consist of scripted movements. Our long-term goal is to perform mobile activity recognition in natural settings. We collect a dataset to support this goal with activity categories that are relevant for downstream tasks such as health monitoring and intervention. Because of the large variations present in human behavior, we collect data from many participants across two different age groups. Because human behavior can change o…
WiFi Channel State Information (CSI)-based human activity recognition (HAR) provides a privacy-preserving, device-free sensing solution for smart environments. However, its deployment on edge devices is severely constrained by domain shift, where recognition performance deteriorates under varying environmental and hardware conditions. This study presents maxVSTAR (maximally adaptive Vision-guided Sensing Technology for Activity Recognition), a closed-loop, vision-guided model adaptation framework that autonomously mitigates domain shift for edge-deployed CSI sensing systems. The proposed syste…

Using the basic discriminating autoencoder as a unit, we build a stacked architecture aimed at extracting relevant representation from the training data. The efficiency of our feature extraction algorithm ensures a high classification accuracy with even simple classification schemes like KNN (K-nearest neighbor). W…
Activity recognition from sensor data deals with various challenges, such as overlapping activities, activity labeling, and activity detection. Although each challenge in the field of recognition has great importance, the most important one refers to online activity recognition. The present study tries to use online hierarchical hidden Markov model to detect an activity on the stream of sensor data which can predict the activity in the environment with any sensor event. The activity recognition samples were labeled by the statistical features such as the duration of activity. The results of ou…
The development of IoT technology enables a variety of sensors can be integrated into mobile devices. Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on sensor data has become an active research topic in the field of machine learning and ubiquitous computing. However, due to the inconsistent frequency of human activities, the amount of data for each activity in the human activity dataset is imbalanced. Considering the limited sensor resources and the high cost of manually labeled sensor data, human activity recognition is facing the challenge of highly imbalanced activity datasets. In this paper, we pr…
Despite the widespread installation of accelerometers in almost all mobile phones and wearable devices, activity recognition using accelerometers is still immature due to the poor recognition accuracy of existing recognition methods and the scarcity of labeled training data. We consider the problem of human activity recognition using triaxial accelerometers and deep learning paradigms. This paper shows that deep activity recognition models (a) provide better recognition accuracy of human activities, (b) avoid the expensive design of handcrafted features in existing systems, and (c) utilize the…

Complex activity recognition can benefit from understanding the steps that compose them. Current datasets, however, are annotated with one label only, hindering research in this direction. In this paper, we describe a new dataset for sensor-based activity recognition featuring macro and micro activities in a cooking scenario. Three sensing systems measured simultaneously, namely a motion capture system, tracking 25 points on the body; two smartphone accelerometers, one on the hip and the other one on the forearm; and two smartwatches one on each wrist. The dataset is labeled for both the recip…
Human activity recognition using multiple sensors is a challenging but promising task in recent decades. In this paper, we propose a deep multimodal fusion model for activity recognition based on the recently proposed feature fusion architecture named EmbraceNet. Our model processes each sensor data independently, combines the features with the EmbraceNet architecture, and post-processes the fused feature to predict the activity. In addition, we propose additional processes to boost the performance of our model. We submit the results obtained from our proposed model to the SHL recognition chal…

A significant challenge for a supervised learning approach to inertial human activity recognition is the heterogeneity of data between individual users, resulting in very poor performance of impersonal algorithms for some subjects. We present an approach to personalized activity recognition based on deep embeddings derived from a fully convolutional neural network. We experiment with both categorical cross entropy loss and triplet loss for training the embedding, and describe a novel triplet loss function based on subject triplets. We evaluate these methods on three publicly available inertial…
Traditional approaches to activity recognition involve the use of wearable sensors or cameras in order to recognise human activities. In this work, we extract fine-grained physical layer information from WiFi devices for the purpose of passive activity recognition in indoor environments. While such data is ubiquitous, few approaches are designed to utilise large amounts of unlabelled WiFi data. We propose the use of self-supervised contrastive learning to improve activity recognition performance when using multiple views of the transmitted WiFi signal captured by different synchronised receive…
Few-shot learning is a technique to learn a model with a very small amount of labeled training data by transferring knowledge from relevant tasks. In this paper, we propose a few-shot learning method for wearable sensor based human activity recognition, a technique that seeks high-level human activity knowledge from low-level sensor inputs. Due to the high costs to obtain human generated activity data and the ubiquitous similarities between activity modes, it can be more efficient to borrow information from existing activity recognition models than to collect more data to train a new model fro…

Human activity recognition (HAR) has become a popular topic in research because of its wide application. With the development of deep learning, new ideas have appeared to address HAR problems. Here, a deep network architecture using residual bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) cells is proposed. The advantages of the new network include that a bidirectional connection can concatenate the positive time direction (forward state) and the negative time direction (backward state). Second, residual connections between stacked cells act as highways for gradients, which can pass underlying inf…
Sensor-based human activity recognition has become a critical component of many emerging applications ranging from behavioral medicine to gaming. However, an unprecedented increase in the diversity of sensor devices in the Internet-of-Things era has limited the adoption of activity recognition models for use across different domains. We propose ActiLabel a combinatorial framework that learns structural similarities among the events in an arbitrary domain and those of a different domain. The structural similarities are captured through a graph model, referred to as the it dependency graph, whic…
We present a system for concurrent activity recognition. To extract features associated with different activities, we propose a feature-to-activity attention that maps the extracted global features to sub-features associated with individual activities. To model the temporal associations of individual activities, we propose a transformer-network encoder that models independent temporal associations for each activity. To make the concurrent activity prediction aware of the potential associations between activities, we propose self-attention with an association mask. Our system achieved state-of-…
K-fold Cross Validation is commonly used to evaluate classifiers and tune their hyperparameters. However, it assumes that data points are Independent and Identically Distributed (i.i.d.) so that samples used in the training and test sets can be selected randomly and uniformly. In Human Activity Recognition datasets, we note that the samples produced by the same subjects are likely to be correlated due to diverse factors. Hence, k-fold cross validation may overestimate the performance of activity recognizers, in particular when overlapping sliding windows are used. In this paper, we investigate…

Recent advances in both machine learning and Internet-of-Things have attracted attention to automatic Activity Recognition, where users wear a device with sensors and their outputs are mapped to a predefined set of activities. However, few studies have considered the balance between wearable power consumption and activity recognition accuracy. This is particularly important when part of the computational load happens on the wearable device. In this paper, we present a new methodology to perform feature selection on the device based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) to find the optimum balance bet…

Activity recognition in wearable computing faces two key challenges: i) activity characteristics may be context-dependent and change under different contexts or situations; ii) unknown contexts and activities may occur from time to time, requiring flexibility and adaptability of the algorithm. We develop a context-aware mixture of deep models termed the α-\b{eta} network coupled with uncertainty quantification (UQ) based upon maximum entropy to enhance human activity recognition performance. We improve accuracy and F score by 10% by identifying high-level contexts in a data-driven way to guide…

A computer vision system using low-resolution image sensors can provide intelligent services (e.g., activity recognition) but preserve unnecessary visual privacy information from the hardware level. However, preserving visual privacy and enabling accurate machine recognition have adversarial needs on image resolution. Modeling the trade-off of privacy preservation and machine recognition performance can guide future privacy-preserving computer vision systems using low-resolution image sensors. In this paper, using the at-home activity of daily livings (ADLs) as the scenario, we first obtained …

The field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) focuses on obtaining and analysing data captured from monitoring devices (e.g. sensors). There is a wide range of applications within the field; for instance, assisted living, security surveillance, and intelligent transportation. In HAR, the development of Activity Recognition models is dependent upon the data captured by these devices and the methods used to analyse them, which directly affect performance metrics. In this work, we address the issue of accurately recognising human activities using different Machine Learning (ML) techniques. We pro…
Data augmentation is a widely used technique in classification to increase data used in training. It improves generalization and reduces amount of annotated human activity data needed for training which reduces labour and time needed with the dataset. Sensor time-series data, unlike images, cannot be augmented by computationally simple transformation algorithms. State of the art models like Recurrent Generative Adversarial Networks (RGAN) are used to generate realistic synthetic data. In this paper, transformer based generative adversarial networks which have global attention on data, are comp…

In this study, a novel method to obtain user-dependent human activity recognition models unobtrusively by exploiting the sensors of a smartphone is presented. The recognition consists of two models: sensor fusion-based user-independent model for data labeling and single sensor-based user-dependent model for final recognition. The functioning of the presented method is tested with human activity data set, including data from accelerometer and magnetometer, and with two classifiers. Comparison of the detection accuracies of the proposed method to traditional user-independent model shows that the…
Labeled data used for training activity recognition classifiers are usually limited in terms of size and diversity. Thus, the learned model may not generalize well when used in real-world use cases. Semi-supervised learning augments labeled examples with unlabeled examples, often resulting in improved performance. However, the semi-supervised methods studied in the activity recognition literatures assume that feature engineering is already done. In this paper, we lift this assumption and present two semi-supervised methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to learn discriminative h…
Human-technology collaboration relies on verbal and non-verbal communication. Machines must be able to detect and understand the movements of humans to facilitate non-verbal communication. In this article, we introduce ongoing research on human activity recognition in intralogistics, and show how it can be applied in industrial settings. We show how semantic attributes can be used to describe human activities flexibly and how context informantion increases the performance of classifiers to recognise them automatically. Beyond that, we present a concept based on a cyber-physical twin that can r…
Wearable devices have strict power and memory limitations. As a result, there is a need to optimize the power consumption on those devices without sacrificing the accuracy. This paper presents AdaSense: a sensing, feature extraction and classification co-optimized framework for Human Activity Recognition. The proposed techniques reduce the power consumption by dynamically switching among different sensor configurations as a function of the user activity. The framework selects configurations that represent the pareto-frontier of the accuracy and energy trade-off. AdaSense also uses low-overhead…

While activity recognition from inertial sensors holds potential for mobile health, differences in sensing platforms and user movement patterns cause performance degradation. Aiming to address these challenges, we propose a transfer learning framework, TransFall, for sensor-based activity recognition. TransFall's design contains a two-tier data transformation, a label estimation layer, and a model generation layer to recognize activities for the new scenario. We validate TransFall analytically and empirically.

Activity recognition is the ability to identify and recognize the action or goals of the agent. The agent can be any object or entity that performs action that has end goals. The agents can be a single agent performing the action or group of agents performing the actions or having some interaction. Human activity recognition has gained popularity due to its demands in many practical applications such as entertainment, healthcare, simulations and surveillance systems. Vision based activity recognition is gaining advantage as it does not require any human intervention or physical contact with hu…
Smartwatches are increasingly being used to recognize human daily life activities. These devices may employ different kind of machine learning (ML) solutions. One of such ML models is Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) which has shown an excellent performance in the literature. The GBM can be trained on available data set before it is deployed on any device. However, this data set may not represent every kind of human behavior in real life. For example, a ML model to detect elder and young persons running activity may give different results because of differences in their activity patterns. This …

Batteryless or so called passive wearables are providing new and innovative methods for human activity recognition (HAR), especially in healthcare applications for older people. Passive sensors are low cost, lightweight, unobtrusive and desirably disposable; attractive attributes for healthcare applications in hospitals and nursing homes. Despite the compelling propositions for sensing applications, the data streams from these sensors are characterised by high sparsity---the time intervals between sensor readings are irregular while the number of readings per unit time are often limited. In th…
Uncertainty estimation in deep neural networks is essential for designing reliable and robust AI systems. Applications such as video surveillance for identifying suspicious activities are designed with deep neural networks (DNNs), but DNNs do not provide uncertainty estimates. Capturing reliable uncertainty estimates in safety and security critical applications will help to establish trust in the AI system. Our contribution is to apply Bayesian deep learning framework to visual activity recognition application and quantify model uncertainty along with principled confidence. We utilize the stoc…

In this article, we focus on the question how pattern recognition can leverage new information sources without any, or with minimal user input. Thus, we present an approach for opportunistic activity recognition, where ubiquitous sensors lead to dynamically changing input spaces. Our method is a variation of well-established principles of machine learning, relying on unsupervised clustering to discover structure in data and inferring cluster labels from a small number of labeled …
Moments capture a huge part of our lives. Accurate recognition of these moments is challenging due to the diverse and complex interpretation of the moments.

In this work, we perform experiments on Moments in Time dataset to recognize accurately activities occurring in 3 second clips. We use state of the art techniques for visual, auditory and spatio temporal localization and develop method to accurately classify the activity in the Moments in Time dataset. Our novel approach of using Visua…

Importantly, we extend the framework to incorporate hidden variables. We show how the framework can be applied for both model learning and feature selection. We demonstrate that boosted Markov networks with hidden variables perform comparably with the standard maximum likelihood estimation. However, our framework is able to learn sparse models, and therefore can provide computationa…

Multi-modality is an important feature of sensor based activity recognition. In this work, we consider two inherent characteristics of human activities, the spatially-temporally varying salience of features and the relations between activities and corresponding body part motions. Based on these, we propose a multi-agent spatial-temporal attention model. The spatial-temporal attention mechanism helps intelligently select informative modalities and their active periods. And the multiple agents in the proposed model represent activities with collective motions across body parts by independently s…

In this regard, we propose a "collect fully and select wisely (Fullie and Wiselie)" principle as well as a dual-stream recurrent convolutional attention model, Recurrent Attention and Activity Frame (RAAF), to improve the recognition performance. We first collect modality features and the relations between each pair of features to generate activity frames, and then introduce an a…
