A Trainable Open-Source Machine Learning Accelerometer Activity Recognition Toolbox: Deep Learning Approach

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Background: The accuracy of movement determination software in current activity trackers is insufficient for scientific applications, which are also not open-source. Objective: To address this issue, we developed an accurate, trainable, and open-source smartphone-based activity-tracking toolbox that consists of an Android app (HumanActivityRecorder) and 2 different deep learning algorithms that can be adapted to new behaviors. Methods: We employed a semisupervised deep learning approach to identify the different classes of activity based on accelerometry and gyroscope data, using both our own data and open competition data. Results: Our approach is robust against variation in sampling rate and sensor dimensional input and achieved an accuracy of around 87% in classifying 6 different behaviors on both our own recorded data and the MotionSense data. However, if the dimension-adaptive neural architecture model is tested on our own data, the accuracy drops to 26%, which demonstrates the superiority of our algorithm, which performs at 63% on the MotionSense data used to train the dimension-adaptive neural architecture model. Conclusions: HumanActivityRecorder is a versatile, retrainable, open-source, and accurate toolbox that is continually tested on new data. This enables researchers to adapt to the behavior being measured and achieve repeatability in scientific studies.

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.
