Unsupervised learning for human activity recognition using smartphone sensors

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigate activity recognition using unsupervised learning, with a smartphone.

• The number of activities can be determined by the Caliński–Harabasz index.

• The mixture of Gaussian outperforms when the number of activities is known.

• The hierarchical clustering and DBSCAN attain above 90% accuracy for appropriate settings.

• The study provides an idea for activity recognition methods without training datasets.
