Abstract

Increasingly, human behavior is captured on mobile devices, leading to an increased interest in automated human activity recognition. However, existing datasets typically consist of scripted movements. Our long-term goal is to perform mobile activity recognition in natural settings. We collect a dataset to support this goal with activity categories that are relevant for downstream tasks such as health monitoring and intervention. Because of the large variations present in human behavior, we collect data from many participants across two different age groups. Because human behavior can change over time, we also collect data from participants over a month's time to capture the temporal drift. We hypothesize that mobile activity recognition can benefit from unsupervised domain adaptation algorithms. To address this need and test this hypothesis, we analyze the performance of domain adaptation across people and across time. We then enhance unsupervised domain adaptation with contrastive learning and with weak supervision when label proportions are available. The dataset is available at https://github.com/WSU-CASAS/smartwatch-data
