PT Unknown AU Pierluigi Casale Oriol Pujol Petia Radeva Jordi Vitria TI A First Approach to Activity Recognition Using Topic Models BT 12th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence PY 2009 BP 74 EP 82 VL 202 DI 10.3233/978-1-60750-061-2-74 AB In this work, we present a first approach to activity patterns discovery by mean of topic models. Using motion data collected with a wearable device we prototype, TheBadge, we analyse raw accelerometer data using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a particular instantiation of topic models. Results show that for particular values of the parameters necessary for applying LDA to a countinous dataset, good accuracies in activity classification can be achieved. ER
