Konica Minolta Wins the MIRU Interactive Presentation Award for Two AI Technologies Related to Human Behavior.

The development of smart wearable devices has driven the rapid progress of activity recognition. However, existing activity recognition methods are still struggling to recognize single arm swings due to coarse-grained sensor data segmentation. Refined arm-swing-wise data segmentation is vital in some specific cases, such as the rehabilitation of disabled patients. In this paper, we propose a smartwatch-based arm-swing-wise data segmentation approach for human activity recognition, which converts...

The Sussex-Huawei Locomotion Challenge (SHL) 2021 organized at the HASCA Workshop of UbiComp 2021 is to recognize human activity by using GPS reception, GPS location, Wifi reception and GSM cell tower scans data. Compared with the previous challenge, this challenge is more difficult. In this paper, our team (NUC) summarize our submission to the competition. We propose a framework of deep learning including one-dimensional (1D) Dense CNN and Dense IndRNN networks to explore short and long-Term sp...
