Transfer learning and information retrieval applied to fall detection

Detecting falls in the elderly population is a very important issue that is related with the time of recovery. This study focuses on using wearable smart watches to monitor the movements of the user in order to detect patterns that might be related to fall events. The proposed solution explores Symb...

description Detecting falls in the elderly population is a very important issue that is related with the time of recovery. This study focuses on using wearable smart watches to monitor the movements of the user in order to detect patterns that might be related to fall events. The proposed solution explores Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX) Time Series representation, together with two information retrieval techniques enriched with transfer learning (TL). The solution is user centred; that is, a model is developed for each specific user. Basically, the fall detection approach makes use of a finite-state machine to detect peaks; the time series window embedding these peaks are represented using SAX. Assuming the data from the public fall detection data sets are valid, a dictionary is prepared using the most relevant words. This dic- tionary is then introduced as previous knowledge to an online learning classifier that is trained with normal activities of daily living.
