Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Recognizing activities of daily living is an important research topic for health monitoring and elderly care. However, most existing activity recognition models only work with static and pre-defined sensor configurations. Enabling an existing activity recognition model to adapt to the emergence of new sensors in a dynamic environment is a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel feature incremental learning method, namely the Feature Incremental Random Forest (FIRF), to improve the performance of an existing model with a small amount of data on newly appeared features. It consists of two important components - 1) a mutual information based diversity generation strategy (MIDGS) and 2) a feature incremental tree growing mechanism (FITGM). MIDGS enhances the internal diversity of random forests, while FITGM improves the accuracy of individual decision trees. To evaluate the performance of FIRF, we conduct extensive experiments on three well-known public datasets for activity recognition. Experimental results demonstrate that FIRF is significantly more accurate and efficient compared with other state-of-the-art methods. It has the potential to allow the dynamic exploitation of new sensors in changing environments.
