Abstract

In this paper we provide the first evidence that daily happiness of individuals can be automatically recognized using an extensive set of indicators obtained from the mobile phone usage data (call log, sms and Bluetooth proximity data) and ``background noise'' indicators coming from the weather factor and personality traits. Our final machine learning model, based on the Random Forest classifier, obtains an accuracy score of 80.81% for a 3-class daily happiness recognition problem. Moreover, we identify and discuss the indicators, which have strong predictive power in the source and the feature spaces, discuss different approaches, machine learning models and provide an insight for future research.

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.
