Meal-taking activity monitoring in the elderly based on sensor data: Comparison of unsupervised classification methods
- 对比三种无监督聚类方法识别老人用餐行为
- K-Means在聚类分离度上表现最优,DBI值最低
- 适合关注老年人营养健康与智能监护的研究者
在老龄化加剧的背景下,改善营养监测对预防衰弱至关重要。本研究结合K-Means、GMM和DBSCAN三种聚类方法,基于4个家庭部署的传感器数据,提升用餐活动识别精度。通过戴维斯-鲍尔丁指数(DBI)评估最优聚类结果,K-Means在数据划分效率上优于其他方法,表现出最佳的簇分离与内聚性。尽管GMM能识别复杂模式与异常值,但其性能受参数配置影响大;而DBSCAN则因操作复杂受限。利用GMM计算各活动平均时长,可区分不同用餐时段与类型。研究证明,三类算法协同应用可有效解析行为数据,为选择最优聚类方法提供依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In an era marked by a demographic change towards an older population, there is an urgent need to improve nutritional monitoring in view of the increase in frailty. This research aims to enhance the identification of meal-taking activities by combining K-Means, GMM, and DBSCAN techniques. Using the Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) for the optimal meal taking activity clustering, the results show that K-Means seems to be the best solution, thanks to its unrivalled efficiency in data demarcation, compared with the capabilities of GMM and DBSCAN. Although capable of identifying complex patterns and outliers, the latter methods are limited by their operational complexities and dependence on precise parameter configurations. In this paper, we have processed data from 4 houses equipped with sensors. The findings indicate that applying the K-Means method results in high performance, evidenced by a particularly low Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI), illustrating optimal cluster separation and cohesion. Calculating the average duration of each activity using the GMM algorithm allows distinguishing various categories of meal-taking activities. Alternatively, this can correspond to different times of the day fitting to each meal-taking activity. Using K-Means, GMM, and DBSCAN clustering algorithms, the study demonstrates an effective strategy for thoroughly understanding the data. This approach facilitates the comparison and selection of the most suitable method for optimal meal-taking activity clustering.
