CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Nurse Activity Recognition Challenge Using Lab and Field Data

https://abc-research.github.io/nurse2020
12 - 16th September 2020, Cancun, Mexico -> Online

ACM Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp)

==============================================================

Activity recognition is the task of classifying daily life activities
performed by a human on sensor observations. Using mobile phones
accelerometer for this observation is one of the cheapest and most
convenient method. Activity recognition is specially gaining attention in
care facilities for remote monitoring of daily activities for elders living
alone and automatic record creation for nurses in hospitals with a goal of
providing better care to patients. One challenge for these applications is
bridging the gap between models created within the lab and models for real
life.


CHALLENGE

In this challenge, participants will create methods for recognizing 12
activities conducted by nurses in both lab and in real-life settings. In
real world, there is high chance of getting missing labels during
experiments since users are busy at work.  The main challenge is leveraging
laboratory data to improve models in real-life. Training data consists of
data collected in both settings but test data consists of data only from
the real field (same users as training data).

The evaluation of submissions will be done solely based on the accuracy.


PRIZES

- The winner (one team representative) will be invited to our installations
in Kitakyushu, Japan. Read conditions in the web page.
