RESUMEN
The acquisition, processing, mining, and visualization of sensory data for knowledge discovery and decision support has recently been a popular area of research and exploration. Its usefulness is paramount because of its relationship to the continuous involvement in the improvement of healthcare and other related disciplines. As a result of this, a huge amount of data have been collected and analyzed. These data are made available for the research community in various shapes and formats; their representation and study in the form of graphs or networks is also an area of research which many scholars are focused on. However, the large size of such graph datasets poses challenges in data mining and visualization. For example, knowledge discovery from the Bio-Mouse-Gene dataset, which has over 43 thousand nodes and 14.5 million edges, is a non-trivial job. In this regard, summarizing the large graphs provided is a useful alternative. Graph summarization aims to provide the efficient analysis of such complex and large-sized data; hence, it is a beneficial approach. During summarization, all the nodes that have similar structural properties are merged together. In doing so, traditional methods often overlook the importance of personalizing the summary, which would be helpful in highlighting certain targeted nodes. Personalized or context-specific scenarios require a more tailored approach for accurately capturing distinct patterns and trends. Hence, the concept of personalized graph summarization aims to acquire a concise depiction of the graph, emphasizing connections that are closer in proximity to a specific set of given target nodes. In this paper, we present a faster algorithm for the personalized graph summarization (PGS) problem, named IPGS; this has been designed to facilitate enhanced and effective data mining and visualization of datasets from various domains, including biosensors. Our objective is to obtain a similar compression ratio as the one provided by the state-of-the-art PGS algorithm, but in a faster manner. To achieve this, we improve the execution time of the current state-of-the-art approach by using weighted, locality-sensitive hashing, through experiments on eight large publicly available datasets. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of IPGS while providing a similar compression ratio to the state-of-the-art approach. In this way, our research contributes to the study and analysis of sensory datasets through the perspective of graph summarization. We have also presented a detailed study on the Bio-Mouse-Gene dataset, which was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of graph summarization in the domain of biosensors.
RESUMEN
The domain of human locomotion identification through smartphone sensors is witnessing rapid expansion within the realm of research. This domain boasts significant potential across various sectors, including healthcare, sports, security systems, home automation, and real-time location tracking. Despite the considerable volume of existing research, the greater portion of it has primarily concentrated on locomotion activities. Comparatively less emphasis has been placed on the recognition of human localization patterns. In the current study, we introduce a system by facilitating the recognition of both human physical and location-based patterns. This system utilizes the capabilities of smartphone sensors to achieve its objectives. Our goal is to develop a system that can accurately identify different human physical and localization activities, such as walking, running, jumping, indoor, and outdoor activities. To achieve this, we perform preprocessing on the raw sensor data using a Butterworth filter for inertial sensors and a Median Filter for Global Positioning System (GPS) and then applying Hamming windowing techniques to segment the filtered data. We then extract features from the raw inertial and GPS sensors and select relevant features using the variance threshold feature selection method. The extrasensory dataset exhibits an imbalanced number of samples for certain activities. To address this issue, the permutation-based data augmentation technique is employed. The augmented features are optimized using the Yeo-Johnson power transformation algorithm before being sent to a multi-layer perceptron for classification. We evaluate our system using the K-fold cross-validation technique. The datasets used in this study are the Extrasensory and Sussex Huawei Locomotion (SHL), which contain both physical and localization activities. Our experiments demonstrate that our system achieves high accuracy with 96% and 94% over Extrasensory and SHL in physical activities and 94% and 91% over Extrasensory and SHL in the location-based activities, outperforming previous state-of-the-art methods in recognizing both types of activities.

Advancements in sensing technology have expanded the capabilities of both wearable devices and smartphones, which are now commonly equipped with inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. Initially, these sensors were used for device feature advancement, but now, they can be used for a variety of applications. Human activity recognition (HAR) is an interesting research area that can be used for many applications like health monitoring, sports, fitness, medical purposes, etc. In this research, we designed an advanced system that recognizes different human locomotion and localization activities. The data were collected from raw sensors that contain noise. In the first step, we detail our noise removal process, which employs a Chebyshev type 1 filter to clean the raw sensor data, and then the signal is segmented by utilizing Hamming windows. After that, features were extracted for different sensors. To select the best feature for the system, the recursive feature elimination method was used. We then used SMOTE data augmentation techniques to solve the imbalanced nature of the Extrasensory dataset. Finally, the augmented and balanced data were sent to a long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning classifier for classification. The datasets used in this research were Real-World Har, Real-Life Har, and Extrasensory. The presented system achieved 89% for Real-Life Har, 85% for Real-World Har, and 95% for the Extrasensory dataset. The proposed system outperforms the available state-of-the-art methods.

With the growing popularity of wearable devices, particularly Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Ambient sensors, researchers and engineers have sought to take advantage of these advances to accurately and efficiently detect and classify human activities. This research paper presents an advanced methodology for human activity and localization recognition, utilizing smartphone IMU, Ambient, GPS, and Audio sensor data from two public benchmark datasets: the Opportunity dataset and the Extrasensory dataset. The Opportunity dataset was collected from 12 subjects participating in a range of daily activities, and it captures data from various body-worn and object-associated sensors. The Extrasensory dataset features data from 60 participants, including thousands of data samples from smartphone and smartwatch sensors, labeled with a wide array of human activities. Our study incorporates novel feature extraction techniques for signal, GPS, and audio sensor data. Specifically, for localization, GPS, audio, and IMU sensors are utilized, while IMU and Ambient sensors are employed for locomotion activity recognition. To achieve accurate activity classification, state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM), have been explored. For indoor/outdoor activities, CNNs are applied, while LSTMs are utilized for locomotion activity recognition. The proposed system has been evaluated using the k-fold cross-validation method, achieving accuracy rates of 97% and 89% for locomotion activity over the Opportunity and Extrasensory datasets, respectively, and 96% for indoor/outdoor activity over the Extrasensory dataset. These results highlight the efficiency of our methodology in accurately detecting various human activities, showing its potential for real-world applications. Moreover, the research paper introduces a hybrid system that combines machine learning and deep learning features, enhancing activity recognition performance by leveraging the strengths of both approaches.

Introduction: Falls are a major cause of accidents that can lead to serious injuries, especially among geriatric populations worldwide. Ensuring constant supervision in hospitals or smart environments while maintaining comfort and privacy is practically impossible. Therefore, fall detection has become a significant area of research, particularly with the use of multimodal sensors. The lack of efficient techniques for automatic fall detection hampers the creation of effective preventative tools capable of identifying falls during physical exercise in long-term care environments. The primary goal of this article is to examine the benefits of using multimodal sensors to enhance the precision of fall detection systems. Methods: The proposed paper combines time-frequency features of inertial sensors with skeleton-based modeling of depth sensors to extract features. These multimodal sensors are then integrated using a fusion technique. Optimization and a modified K-Ary classifier are subsequently applied to the resultant fused data. Results: The suggested model achieved an accuracy of 97.97% on the UP-Fall Detection dataset and 97.89% on the UR-Fall Detection dataset. Discussion: This indicates that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art classification results. Additionally, the proposed model can be utilized as an IoT-based solution, effectively promoting the development of tools to prevent fall-related injuries.

Discussion: For vehicle tracking, the model achieves accuracies of 0.89 and 0.85 on the VEDAI and SRTID datasets, respectively.
RESUMEN
Multiple Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT)-based devices have been utilized as sensing methodologies for human locomotion decoding to aid in applications related to e-healthcare. Different measurement conditions affect the daily routine monitoring, including the sensor type, wearing style, data retrieval method, and processing model. Currently, several models are present in this domain that include a variety of techniques for pre-processing, descriptor extraction, and reduction, along with the classification of data captured from multiple sensors. However, such models consisting of multiple subject-based data using different techniques may degrade the accuracy rate of locomotion decoding. Therefore, this study proposes a deep neural network model that not only applies the state-of-the-art Quaternion-based filtration technique for motion and ambient data along with background subtraction and skeleton modeling for video-based data, but also learns important descriptors from novel graph-based representations and Gaussian Markov random-field mechanisms. Due to the non-linear nature of data, these descriptors are further utilized to extract the codebook via the Gaussian mixture regression model. Furthermore, the codebook is provided to the recurrent neural network to classify the activities for the locomotion-decoding system. We show the validity of the proposed model across two publicly available data sampling strategies, namely, the HWU-USP and LARa datasets. The proposed model is significantly improved over previous systems, as it achieved 82.22% and 82.50% for the HWU-USP and LARa datasets, respectively. The proposed IoHT-based locomotion-decoding model is useful for unobtrusive human activity recognition over extended periods in e-healthcare facilities.
