We pro- pose and evaluate a 2-Tier activity extraction framework (called SAMMPLE) where features of the accelerometer data are first used to identify individual locomotive micro- activities (e.g., sitting or standing), and the micro-activity sequence is subsequently used to identify the discrimina- tory characteristics of individual semantic activities. Using 152 days of real-life behavioral traces from users to detect semantic activities, our approach achieves an average ac- curacy of 77.14%, an improvement of 16.37% from the traditional 1-Tier approach that directly uses statistical features of the accelerometer stream.activity recognitionsemantic activitiesaccelerometerNCCR-MICSNCCR-MICS/ESDMtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
