8th international workshop on human activity sensing corpus and applications (HASCA)

The recognition of complex and subtle human behaviors from wearable sensors will enable next-generation human-oriented computing in scenarios of high societal value (e.g., dementia care). This will require large-scale human activity corpus and much improved methods to recognize activities and the context in which they occur. This workshop deals with the challenges of designing reproducible experimental setups, running large-scale dataset collection campaigns, designing activity and context recognition methods that are robust and adaptive, and evaluating systems in the real world. We wish to reflect on future methods, such as lifelong learning approaches that allow open-ended activity recognition. This year HASCA will welcome papers from participants to the Third Sussex-Huawei Locomotion and Transportation Recognition Challenge and Second Nursing Activity Recognition Challenge in special sessions.
