Abstract

In this paper, an empirical evaluation of different classification techniques is conducted on user movement data. The datasets used here for experiments are composed of accelerometer data collected from various devices, including smartphones and smart watches. The user movement data was processed and fed into five traditional machine learning algorithms. The classification performances were then compared with a deep learning technique, the Long Short Term Memory-Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM-RNN). LSTM-RNN achieved its highest accuracy at 89% as opposed to 97% from a traditional machine learning algorithm, specifically, K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), on wrist-worn accelerometer data.
