In wearable computing scenarios, activities such as walking, standing and sitting can be inferred from data provided by body-worn acceleration sensors. In such settings, most approaches use a single set of features, regardless of which activity to be recognized. In this paper we show that recognition rates can be improved by careful selection of individual features for each activity. We present a systematic analysis of features computed from a real-world data set and show how the choice of feature and the window length over which the feature is computed affects the recognition rates for different activities. Finally, we give a recommendation of suitable features and window lengths for a set of common activities.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125917895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A popular use is for composition of short messages (SMSs), but other applications are also available like email, agenda, contact, and note management. All these uses have in common the need for text input on a small keyboard with ambiguity problems.Various techniques are currently used for input disambiguation, with variable results in terms of usability and efficiency. Some techniques achieve good performance with messages composed by words from a dictionary but poorly when a significant number of words are not in memory.In this paper we present a solution for text disambiguation supported on a general model for disambiguation plus a user model generated from previous messages sent by the user. We present results obtained with this approach and discuss future improvements.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134565052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
