    Lifelogging is a research topic that is receiving increasing attention and although lifelog research has progressed in recent years, the concept of what represents a document in lifelog retrieval has not yet been sufficiently explored. Hence, the generation of multimodal lifelog documents is a fundamental concept that must be addressed. In this paper, I introduce my general perspective on generating documents in lifelogging and reflect on learnings from collecting multimodal lifelog data from a number of participants in a study on lifelog data organization. In addition, the main motivation be- hind document generation is proposed and the challenges faced while collecting data and generating documents are discussed in detail. Finally, a process for organizing the documents in lifelog data retrieval is proposed, which I intend to follow in my PhD research

    As of very recently, we have observed a convergence of technologies that have led to the emergence of lifelogging as a technology for personal data application. Lifelogging will become ubiquitous in the near future, not just for memory enhancement and health management, but also in various other domains. While there are many devices available for gathering massive lifelogging data, there are still challenges to modelling large volume of multi-modal lifelog data. In the thesis, we explore and address the problem of how to model lifelog in order to make personal lifelogs more accessible to users from the perspective of collection, organization and visualization. In order to subdivide our research targets, we designed and followed the following steps to solve the problem: 1. Lifelog activity recognition. We use multiple sensor data to analyse various daily life activities. Data ranges from accelerometer data collected by mobile phones to images captured by wearable cameras. We propose a semantic, density-based algorithm to cope with concept selection issues for lifelogging sensory data. 2. Visual discovery of lifelog images. Most of the lifelog information we takeeveryday is in a form of images, so images contain significant information about our lives. Here we conduct some experiments on visual content analysis of lifelog images, which includes both image contents and image meta data. 3. Linkage analysis of lifelogs. By exploring linkage analysis of lifelog data, we can connect all lifelog images using linkage models into a concept called the MemoryMesh. The thesis includes experimental evaluations using real-life data collected from multiple users and shows the performance of our algorithms in detecting semantics of daily-life concepts and their effectiveness in activity recognition and lifelog retrieval

    Organizer team at ImageCLEFlifelog 2017: baseline approaches for lifelog retrieval and summarization

    This paper describes the participation of Organizer Team in the ImageCLEFlifelog 2017 Retrieval and Summarization subtasks. In this paper, we propose some baseline approaches, using only the provided information, which require different involvement levels from the users. With these baselines we target at providing references for other approaches that aim to solve the problems of lifelog retrieval and summarization

    Designing a personal information transaction object

    © 2016 IEEE. As mobile and wearable technologies grow in popularity, ever-increasing volumes of valuable, fine-grained personal information are generated as people go about their daily lives. This information may be exchanged by individuals for "free" services, but there is currently no widely adopted means by which individuals can benefit financially from their personal information. To address this problem we consider a Primary Personal Information Market (PPIM) - a market on which individuals can be financially compensated in exchange for access to their personal information. We draw on Design Science and Market Engineering to justify design choices for a permissions-based Personal Information Transaction Object (PITO), a commodity which could be successfully traded on a Primary Personal Information Market

    Learning and mining from personal digital archives

    Given the explosion of new sensing technologies, data storage has become significantly cheaper and consequently, people increasingly rely on wearable devices to create personal digital archives. Lifelogging is the act of recording aspects of life in digital format for a variety of purposes such as aiding human memory, analysing human lifestyle and diet monitoring. In this dissertation we are concerned with Visual Lifelogging, a form of lifelogging based on the passive capture of photographs by a wearable camera. Cameras, such as Microsoft's SenseCam can record up to 4,000 images per day as well as logging data from several incorporated sensors. Considering the volume, complexity and heterogeneous nature of such data collections, it is a signifcant challenge to interpret and extract knowledge for the practical use of lifeloggers and others. In this dissertation, time series analysis methods have been used to identify and extract useful information from temporal lifelogging images data, without benefit of prior knowledge. We focus, in particular, on three fundamental topics: noise reduction, structure and characterization of the raw data; the detection of multi-scale patterns; and the mining of important, previously unknown repeated patterns in the time series of lifelog image data. Firstly, we show that Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) highlights the feature of very high correlation in lifelogging image collections. Secondly, we show that study of equal-time Cross-Correlation Matrix demonstrates atypical or non-stationary characteristics in these images. Next, noise reduction in the Cross-Correlation Matrix is addressed by Random Matrix Theory (RMT) before Wavelet multiscaling is used to characterize the `most important' or `unusual' events through analysis of the associated dynamics of the eigenspectrum. A motif discovery technique is explored for detection of recurring and recognizable episodes of an individual's image data. Finally, we apply these motif discovery techniques to two known lifelog data collections, All I Have Seen (AIHS) and NTCIR-12 Lifelog, in order to examine multivariate recurrent patterns of multiple-lifelogging users

    Smart-phones are becoming our constant companions, they are with us all of the time, being used for calling, web surfing, apps, music listening, TV viewing, social networking, buying, gaming, and a myriad of other uses. Smart-phones are a technology that knows us much better than most of us could imagine. Based on our usage and the fact that we are never far away from our smart phones, they know where we go, who we interact with, what information we consume, and with a little clever software, they can know what we are doing and even why we are doing it. They are beginning to know us better than we know ourselves. In this work we present ”SenseSeer” a generic mobile-cloud-based mobile Lifelogging framework. This framework supports customisable analytic services for sensing the person, understanding the semantics of life activities and the easy deployment of analytic tools and novel interfaces. At present, SenseSeer supports services in many domains, such as personal health monitoring, location tracking, lifestyle analysis and tourism focused applications. This work demonstrate the design principles of SenseSeer and three of its services: My Health, My Location and My Social Activity
