    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Computer Science
    • Artificial Intelligence

    Background:

    • Homecare for elderly individuals living alone relies heavily on accurate behavior identification.
    • Existing algorithms often require labeled sensor data and utilize probabilistic or supervised learning methods.
    • There is a need for unsupervised learning approaches to analyze unlabeled sensor data for elder behavior monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel behavior identification algorithm (BIA) utilizing unsupervised learning for elderly individuals living alone in smart homes.
    • To develop a method that works with unlabeled sensor data, overcoming limitations of existing supervised approaches.
    • To improve the precision and recall of behavior identification in smart home environments for the elderly.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed BIA uses unsupervised learning on unlabeled sensor data.
    • It incorporates three key features for behavior observation: Event Order, Time Length Similarity, and Time Interval Similarity.
    • Two behavior properties, Event Shift and Histogram Shape Similarity, are derived from these features to develop the algorithm.

    Main Results:

    • The developed BIA demonstrates superior performance compared to existing unsupervised machine learning methods.
    • The algorithm achieved higher precision and recall in behavior identification tasks.
    • Performance evaluation confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed features and properties.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed unsupervised BIA is effective for identifying elderly behaviors using unlabeled sensor data in smart homes.
    • This approach offers a promising alternative to supervised methods, particularly in scenarios with limited labeled data.
    • The findings suggest potential for enhanced elderly homecare through advanced, data-driven behavior monitoring.
