Title: Smartphone Dataset for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in Ambient

Assisted Living (AAL)

2. Relevant Information:
-- This dataset is an addition to the dataset at

https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Human+Activity+Recognition+Using+Smartphone
s
We collected more dataset to improve the accuracy of our HAR algorithms
applied in
a Social connectedness experiment in the domain of Ambient Assisted Living.
The dataset was collected from the in-built accelerometer and gyroscope of a
smartphone worn around the waist of participants. See
waist_mounted_phone.PNG.
The data was collected from 30 participants within the age group of 22-79
years.
Each activity (standing, sitting, laying, walking, walking upstairs, walking
downstairs) was
performed for 60secs and the 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular
velocity were
collected at a constant rate of 50Hz.
-- These results presented in a paper titled: 'Activity Recognition Based on
Inertial Sensors for Ambient Assisted Living' has been
accepted for publication in 19th International Conference on Information
Fusion.

3. Past Usage:
1. This dataset together with the dataset at:

https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Human+Activity+Recognition+Using+Smartphone
s
was used in a social connectedness experiment.
--Results: We obtained an overall accuracy of 97.6% with Multiclass SVM for
HAR,
91.4% for Hybrid SVM+HMM and 99.7% for Artificial Neural Networks
(ANNs).
The accuracies were obatined through a 10-fold cross-validation.
