报告摘要：Feature-engineering-based machine learning models and deep learning models have been explored for wearable-sensor-based human activity recognition. For both types of methods, one crucial research issue is how to extract proper features from the partitioned segments of multivariate sensor readings. Existing methods have different drawbacks: 1) feature-engineering-based methods are able to extract meaningful features, such as statistical or structural information underlying the segments, but usually require manual designs of features for different applications, which is time consuming, and 2) deep learning models are able to learn temporal and/or spatial features from the sensor data automatically, but fail to capture statistical information. In this talk, I will introduce our recently developed kernel-embedding neural architecture that is able to automatically learn meaningful features including statistical features, temporal features and spatial correlation features for activity recognition. I will also discuss some advanced issues in sensor-based activity recognition.
