Wearable computers provide significant opportunities for sensing and data collection in user's natural environment (NE). However, they require both raw data and annotations to train their respective signal processing algorithms. Collecting these annotations is often burdensome for the users. Our proposed methodology leverages the notion of location from nearable sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) platforms and learns users' patterns of behavior without any prior knowledge. It also requests users for annotations and labels only when the algorithms are unable to automatically annotate the data. We validate our proposed approach in the context of diet monitoring, a significant application that often requires considerable user compliance. Our approach improves eating detection accuracy by 2.4% with requested annotations restricted to 20 per day.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
