Why is it important?

The rapid development of technology and the continuous progress of society have made wearable technology one of the most concerned fields in recent years. Wearable devices such as smart watches, smart glasses, health trackers, and smart clothing have gradually integrated into our lives, not only providing us with many conveniences but also giving us more opportunities to obtain data about ourselves and our surrounding environment. Sensors in these devices collect various types of data, including images, sounds, motions, physiological parameters, time series data, etc.. Among them, time series data is a particularly challenging type of data because they usually contain a large amount of time series information and require complex processing and analysis techniques to extract useful information.

Perspectives

The rise of wearable sensor technology has greatly benefited from the continuous progress of sensors and the improvement of computing power and storage capacity. Modern wearable sensors are capable of capturing multiple data types, including acceleration, gyroscope, heart rate, skin conductance, temperature, and so on. These sensors monitor various physiological and environmental parameters of the human body in a non-invasive manner, providing strong support for applications such as health monitoring, sports analysis, and the improvement of quality of life. However, the data generated by these sensors is typically multi-channel, high-dimensional time series data with large data volume and complexity. Therefore, the classification techniques for wearable sensor time series data have aroused widespread research interest and received extensive attention in both academia and industry. The efficient processing and analysis of these data to achieve accurate Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has become a challenge.
