The automatic identification of daily life human activities is of paramount importance for context-aware systems, health monitoring, etc. In this project we will research semi-supervised methods to classify daily life human activities using streaming sensing data obtained by sensors embedded in vests/mobile devices. Those sensors include: 3-axis accelerometers, temperature, light, sound, GPS, ECG, and virtual sensors such as time and calendar. We will use data collected representing daily life human activities bearing in mind their ultimate implementation in embedded systems (such as PDA or smartphone). We will focus on classifying activities, e.g., “running”, “sleeping”, “at the office”, etc.
