Recent Scholarship
The Impact of Personalization on Smartphone-Based Activity Recognition
Smartphones incorporate many diverse and powerful sensors, which creates exciting new opportunities for data mining and human-computer interaction. In this paper we show how standard classification algorithms can use labeled smartphone-based accelerometer data to...
Design considerations for the WISDM smart phone-based sensor mining architecture
Smart phones comprise a large and rapidly growing market. These devices provide unprecedented opportunities for sensor mining since they include a large variety of sensors, including an: acceleration sensor (accelerometer), location sensor (GPS), direction sensor...
Identifying user traits by mining smart phone accelerometer data
Abstract: Smart phones are quite sophisticated and increasingly incorporate diverse and powerful sensors. One such sensor is the tri-axial accelerometer, which measures acceleration in all three spatial dimensions. The accelerometer was initially included for screen...
