Tree-structured Classifier for Acceleration-based Activity and Gesture Recognition on Smartwatches

Karl Aberer, Julien Eberle, Dipanjan Chakraborty

This paper proposes a new method for recognizing both activities and gestures by using acceleration data collected on a smartwatch. While both activity recognition techniques and gesture recognition techniques employ acceleration data, these techniques are ...

Sustainable Energy Consumption Monitoring in Residential Settings

Karl Aberer, Dipanjan Chakraborty

The continuous growth of energy needs and the fact that unpredictable energy demand is mostly served by unsustainable (i.e. fossil-fuel) power generators have given rise to the development of Demand Response (DR) mechanisms for flattening energy demand. Bu ...

DRSim: A Cyber Physical Simulator for Demand Response Systems

Karl Aberer, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya

Demand Response (DR) is a mechanism in which electricity consumers alter their demand in response to power grid’s supply and economic conditions. DR programs have the potential to improve resource efficiency, sustainability, grid reliability and economic v ...

Semantic trajectories: Mobility data computation and annotation

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

With the large-scale adoption of GPS equipped mobile sensing devices, positional data generated by moving objects (e.g., vehicles, people, animals) are being easily collected. Such data are typically modeled as streams of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points, ca ...

EnviroMeter: A Platform for Querying Community-Sensed Data

Karl Aberer, Saket Sathe, Dipanjan Chakraborty

Efficiently querying data collected from Large-area Communitydriven Sensor Networks (LCSNs) is a new and challenging problem. In our previous works, we proposed adaptive techniques for learning models (e.g., statistical, non-parametric, etc.) from such dat ...

An exploration with online complex activity recognition using cellphone accelerometer

Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Sumit Mittal

We investigate the problem of online detection of complex activities (such as cooking, lunch, work at desk), i.e., recognizing them while the activities are being performed using parts of the sensor data. In contrast to prior work, where complex activity r ...

Energy-Efficient Continuous Activity Recognition on Mobile Phones: An Activity-Adaptive Approach

Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

Power consumption on mobile phones is a painful obstacle towards adoption of continuous sensing driven applications, e.g., continuously inferring individual’s locomotive activities (such as ‘sit’, ‘stand’ or ‘walk’) using the embedded accelerometer sensor. ...

Mining Complex Activities in the Wild via a Single Smartphone Accelerometer

Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Angshu Rai

Complex activities are activities that are a combination of many simple ones. Typically, activities of daily living (ADLs) fall in this category. Complex activity recognition is an active area of interest amongst sensing and knowledge mining community toda ...

Effectively Modeling Data from Large-area Community Sensor Networks

Karl Aberer, Saket Sathe, Sebastian Cartier, Dipanjan Chakraborty

Effectively managing the data generated by Large-area Community driven Sensor Networks (LCSNs) is a new and challenging prob- lem. One important step for managing and querying such sensor network data is to create abstractions of the data in the form of mo ...

SeMiTri: A Framework for Semantic Annotation of Heterogeneous Trajectories

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

GPS devices allow recording the movement track of the moving object they are attached to. This data typically consists of a stream of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points. For application purposes the stream is transformed into finite subsequences called {\em tr ...

Outtweeting the Twitterers - Predicting Information Cascades in Microblogs

Zoran Despotovic, Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Dipanjan Chakraborty

Microblogging sites are a unique and dynamic Web 2.0 communication medium. Understanding the information flow in these systems can not only provide better insights into the underlying sociology, but is also crucial for applications such as content ranking, ...

Automatic Construction and Multi-level Visualization of Semantic Trajectories

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Karl Aberer, Lazar Spremic, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

With the prevalence of GPS-embedded mobile devices, enormous amounts of mobility data are being collected in the form of trajectory - a stream of (x,y,t) points. Such trajectories are of heterogeneous entities - vehicles, people, animals, parcels etc. Most ...

OpenSense: open community driven sensing of environment

Boi Faltings, Alcherio Martinoli, Karl Aberer, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Saket Sathe, Dipanjan Chakraborty

This paper outlines a vision for community-driven sensing of our environment. At its core, community sensing is a dynamic new form of mobile geosensor network. We believe that community sensing networks, in order to be widely deployable and sustainable, ne ...

A Hybrid Model and Computing Platform for Spatio-Semantic Trajectories

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

In this paper, we propose a hybrid spatio-semantic model and a computing platform for trajectories of moving objects. Our hybrid model can represent trajectories in terms of both spatio and semantic mobility characteristics, supporting different levels of ...
