Abstract
We describe our initial efforts to learn high level human behaviors from low level gestures observed using on-body sensors. Such an activity discovery system could be used to index captured journals of a person's life automatically. In a medical context, an annotated journal could assist thera- pists in helping to describe and treat symptoms character- istic to behavioral syndromes such as autism. We review our current work on user-independent activity recognition from continuous data where we identify ìinterestingî user gestures through a combination of acceleration and audio sensors placed on the user's wrists and elbows. We exam- ine an algorithm that can take advantage of such a sensor framework to automatically discover and label recurring be- haviors, and we suggest future work where correlations of these low level gestures may indicate higher level activities.Keywords
