AbstractHuman activity recognition (HAR) is a line of research whose goal is to design and develop automatic techniques for recognizing activities of daily living (ADLs) using signals from sensors. HAR is an active research filed in response to the ever-increasing need to collect information remotely related to ADLs for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Traditionally, HAR used environmental or wearable sensors to acquire signals and relied on traditional machine-learning techniques to classify ADLs. In recent years, HAR is moving towards the use of both wearable devices (such as smartphones or fitness trackers, since they are daily used by people and they include reliable inertial sensors), and deep learning techniques (given the encouraging results obtained in the area of computer vision). One of the major challenges related to HAR is population diversity, which makes difficult traditional machine-learning algorithms to generalize. Recently, researchers successfully attempted to address the problem by proposing techniques based on personalization combined with traditional machine learning. To date, no effort has been directed at investigating the benefits that personalization can bring in deep learning techniques in the HAR domain. The goal of our research is to verify if personalization applied to both traditional and deep learning techniques can lead to better performance than classical approaches (i.e., without personalization). The experiments were conducted on three datasets that are extensively used in the literature and that contain metadata related to the subjects. AdaBoost is the technique chosen for traditional machine learning, while convolutional neural network is the one chosen for deep learning. These techniques have shown to offer good performance. Personalization considers both the physical characteristics of the subjects and the inertial signals generated by the subjects. Results suggest that personalization is most effective when applied to traditional machine-learning techniques rather than to deep learning ones. Moreover, results show that deep learning without personalization performs better than any other methods experimented in the paper in those cases where the number of training samples is high and samples are heterogeneous (i.e., they represent a wider spectrum of the population). This suggests that traditional deep learning can be more effective, provided you have a large and heterogeneous dataset, intrinsically modeling the population diversity in the training process.


Human activity recognition(HAR) is used to describe basic activities that humans are performing using the sensors that we have in smartphones. The data for this activity recognition is captured by various sensors of mobile phones or wristbands such as accelerometer, gyroscope and gravity sensors.HAR has grabbed the attention of various researchers due to its vast demand in the fields of sport training, security, entertainment health monitoring,computer vision and robotics. In this project we compare different machine learning and deep learning algorithms to find a better approach for HAR. The dataset comprises six activities i.e. walking, sleeping, sitting,moving upward, moving downwards and standing.In this demonstration we also showed confusion matrix,accuracy and multi log loss of various algorithms. With the help of accuracy, confusion matrix of algorithms we compare and determine the best approach for HAR. This will help in future research to map the activities of humans using one of the best approaches used

Currently, a significant amount of interest is focused on research in the field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) as a result of the wide variety of its practical uses in real-world applications, such as biometric user identification, health monitoring of the elderly, and surveillance by authorities. The widespread use of wearable sensor devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) has led the topic of HAR to become a significant subject in areas of mobile and ubiquitous computing. In recent years, the most widely-used inference and problem-solving approach in the HAR system has been deep learning. Nevertheless, major challenges exist with regard to the application of HAR for problems in biometric user identification in which various human behaviors can be regarded as types of biometric qualities and used for identifying people. In this research study, a novel framework for multi-class wearable user identification, with a basis in the recognition of human behavior through the use of deep learning models, is presented. In order to obtain advanced information regarding users during the performance of various activities, sensory data from tri-axial gyroscopes and tri-axial accelerometers of the wearable devices are applied. Additionally, a set of experiments were shown to validate this work, and the proposed framework’s effectiveness was demonstrated. The results for the two basic models, namely, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) deep learning, showed that the highest accuracy for all users was 91.77% and 92.43%, respectively. With regard to the biometric user identification, these are both acceptable levels.

The vast proliferation of sensor devices and Internet of Things enables the applications of sensor-based activity recognition. However, there exist substantial challenges that could influence the performance of the recognition system in practical scenarios. Recently, as deep learning has demonstrated its effectiveness in many areas, plenty of deep methods have been investigated to address the challenges in activity recognition. In this study, we present a survey of the state-of-the-art deep learning methods for sensor-based human activity recognition. We first introduce the multi-modality of the sensory data and provide information for public datasets that can be used for evaluation in different challenge tasks. We then propose a new taxonomy to structure the deep methods by challenges. Challenges and challenge-related deep methods are summarized and analyzed to form an overview of the current research progress. At the end of this work, we discuss the open issues and provide some insights for future directions.
