Obstruction-Aware Signal-Loss-Tolerant Indoor Positioning Using Bluetooth Low Energy

Indoor positioning is getting increased attention due to the availability of larger and more sophisticated indoor environments. Wireless technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) may provide inexpensive solutions. In this paper, we propose …

Covert Channel Detection Using Machine Learning

A covert channel is a communication method that misuses legitimate resources to bypass intrusion detection systems. They can be used to do illegal work like leaking classified (or sensitive) data or sending commands to malware bots. Network timing …

Predicting soccer events from optical tracking data

In this study, an automated method for predicting soccer events such as corner kick, free kick, goals and penalties has been developed using optical tracking data with random forest classifier. The study was conducted on a dataset of 140 matches from …

Sleep Quality Monitoring with Ambient and Mobile Sensing

Evaluating daily life quality is important in ambient intelligence applications targeted for health status monitoring. When we consider the fact that people approximately spend one-third of their lives sleeping, we need to monitor the sleep quality …

A Unified Model for Human Behavior Modeling using a Hierarchy with a Variable Number of States

Human behavior modeling enables many applications for smart cities, smart homes, mobile phones and other domains. We present a hierarchical hidden Markov model for human activity recognition that uses semi-supervised learning to automatically learn …

Multi-Resident Human Behaviour Identification in Ambient Assisted Living Environments

Multimodal interactions in ambient assisted living environments require human behaviour to be recognized and monitored automatically. The complex nature of human behaviour makes it extremely difficult to infer and adapt to, especially in …

A smart couch design for improving the quality of life of the patients with cognitive diseases

In this paper, we focus on the human activity recognition module of a homecare system that consists of wireless sensors developed for remotely monitoring patients with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer. To this end, as an initial study, we …

Using Active Learning to Allow Activity Recognition on a Large Scale

Automated activity recognition systems that use probabilistic models require labeled data sets in training phase for learning the model parameters. The parameters are different for every person and every environment. Therefore, for every person or …

Activity Recognition with Hidden Markov Models Using Active Learning

The performance of activity recognition systems depends on annotated training data. Obtaining annotated data is a costly and burdensome task. The need for annotated data for activity recognition systems using Hidden Markov models can be reduced by …
