Ontology based activity learning models play a vital role in diverse fields of Internet of Things (IoT) such as smart homes, smart hospitals or smart communities etc. The prevalent challenges with ontological models are their static nature and inability of self-evolution. The models cannot be completed at once and smart home inhabitants cannot be restricted to limit their activities. Also, inhabitants are not predictable in nature and may perform “Activities of Daily Life (ADL)” not listed in ontological model. This gives rise to the need of developing an integrated framework based on unified conceptual backbone (i.e. activity ontologies), addressing the lifecycle of activity recognition and producing behavioral models according to inhabitant’s routine. In this paper, an ontology evolution process has been proposed that learns particular activities from existing set of activities in daily life (ADL). It learns new activities that have not been identified by the recognition model, adds new properties with existing activities and learns inhabitant’s newest behavior of performing activities through Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The better degree of true positivity is evidence of activity recognition with detection of noisy sensor data. Effectiveness of proposed approach is evident from improved rate of activity learning, activity detection and ontology evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
