Multitask LSTM Model for Human Activity Recognition and Intensity Estimation Using Wearable Sensor Data

Barut, Onur, Zhou, Li, Luo, Yan·2020·IEEE Internet of Things Journal

Abstract

Human activity recognition (HAR) and measuring the intensity of activity are increasingly important for healthcare applications, such as fitness tracking and patient monitoring. However, these two tasks have been performed separately, leading to delays and expensive implementations. In this article, we propose a holistic approach to achieve both HAR and intensity estimation simultaneously. We introduce a new data set with both activity types and activity intensities, and a multitask long short-term memory (LSTM) model to accurately classify the activity types and estimate the intensity of each activity. In addition, we evaluate our proposed neural network with other publicly available data sets and show that including activity intensities in the data set help multitask models perform comparably to two separate single-task models.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Multitask LSTM is developed in [209] to first extract features with shared weight, and then classify activities and estimate intensity in separate branches.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
