A Sensors Based Deep Learning Model for Unseen Locomotion Mode Identification using Multiple Semantic Matrices

With the availability of various sensors in the smartphone, identifying a locomotion mode becomes convenient and effortless in recent years. Information about locomotion mode helps to improve journey planning, travel time estimation, and traffic management. Though there exists a significant amount of work towards locomotion mode recognition, the performance of these work is not pertinent and heavily depends on the labeled training instances. As it is impractical to gather a prior information (labeled instances) about all types of locomotion modes, the recognition model should be able to identify a new or unseen locomotion mode without having any corresponding training instance. This paper proposes a sensors based deep learning model to identify a locomotion mode by using labeled training instances. The approach also incorporates a concept of Zero-Shot learning to identify an unseen locomotion mode. The model obtains an attribute matrix based on the fusion of three semantic matrices. It also constructs a feature matrix by extracting the deep learning and hand-crafted features from the training instances. Later, the model builds a classifier by learning a mapping between attribute and feature matrices. Finally, this work evaluates the performance of the approach on collected and existing datasets using accuracy and F1 score.
