Seeking Optimum System Settings for Physical Activity Recognition on Smartwatches
Physical activity recognition (PAR) using wearable devices can provide valued
information regarding an individual's degree of functional ability and
lifestyle. In this regards, smartphone-based physical activity recognition is a
well-studied area. Research on smartwatch-based PAR, on the other hand, is
still in its infancy. Through a large-scale exploratory study, this work aims
to investigate the smartwatch-based PAR domain. A detailed analysis of various
feature banks and classification methods are carried out to find the optimum
system settings for the best performance of any smartwatch-based PAR system for
both personal and impersonal models. To further validate our hypothesis for
both personal (The classifier is built using the data only from one specific
user) and impersonal (The classifier is built using the data from every user
except the one under study) models, we tested single subject validation process
for smartwatch-based activity recognition.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, Accepted in CVC'1
Sensor-AssistedWeighted Average Ensemble Model for Detecting Major Depressive Disorder
The present methods of diagnosing depression are entirely dependent on self-report
ratings or clinical interviews. Those traditional methods are subjective, where the individual may
or may not be answering genuinely to questions. In this paper, the data has been collected using
self-report ratings and also using electronic smartwatches. This study aims to develop a weighted
average ensemble machine learning model to predict major depressive disorder (MDD) with superior
accuracy. The data has been pre-processed and the essential features have been selected using a
correlation-based feature selection method. With the selected features, machine learning approaches
such as Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and the proposedWeighted Average Ensemble Model are
applied. Further, for assessing the performance of the proposed model, the Area under the Receiver
Optimization Characteristic Curves has been used. The results demonstrate that the proposed
Weighted Average Ensemble model performs with better accuracy than the Logistic Regression and
the Random Forest approaches
Physical Activity Recognition Based on a Parallel Approach for an Ensemble of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Classifiers
Human activity recognition (HAR) by wearable sensor devices embedded in the
Internet of things (IOT) can play a significant role in remote health
monitoring and emergency notification, to provide healthcare of higher
standards. The purpose of this study is to investigate a human activity
recognition method of accrued decision accuracy and speed of execution to be
applicable in healthcare. This method classifies wearable sensor acceleration
time series data of human movement using efficient classifier combination of
feature engineering-based and feature learning-based data representation.
Leave-one-subject-out cross-validation of the method with data acquired from 44
subjects wearing a single waist-worn accelerometer on a smart textile, and
engaged in a variety of 10 activities, yields an average recognition rate of
90%, performing significantly better than individual classifiers. The method
easily accommodates functional and computational parallelization to bring
execution time significantly down
