People with tetraplegia resulting from spinal cord injury experience debilitating hand impairments that may lead to lifelong dependence on others to perform activities of daily living. Wearable robotic devices that actively support hand function duri...
A means of quantifying continuous, free-living energy expenditure (EE) would advance the study of bioenergetics. The aim of this study was to apply a non-linear, machine learning algorithm (random forest) to predict minute level EE for a range of act...
School bullying is a serious problem among teenagers. School violence is one type of school bullying and considered to be the most harmful. As AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques develop, there are now new methods to detect school violence. This ...
Daily activity forecasts play an important role in the daily lives of residents in smart homes. Category forecasts and occurrence time forecasts of daily activity are two key tasks. Category forecasts of daily activity are correlated with occurrence ...
