When your smartphone automatically identifies if you have been walking or running, it is doing activity recognition using the observations of its accelerometer sensor. Other applications of activity recognition include remote monitoring of daily activities for elders living alone and automatic record creation for nurses in hospitals. Although these applications only require the recognition of the activity being done, i.e. cooking, such complex activities are usually made up of several smaller activities like ‘taking from the fridge’. Recognizing such steps can have several advantages. For instance, in the scenario of an elder living alone recognizing the steps can be used to remind them of a missing step, or to ensure a healthy diet is being followed. In the scenario of the nursing record, recognizing the steps can be used for care quality assessment and for ensuring that safety protocols have been followed like washing the hands at the proper moments. Current activity recognition systems focus on recognizing either the complex label (macro activity) or the small steps (micro activities) but their combined recognition is critical for analysis like the ones proposed. In fact, in a nursing scenario, washing the hands after taking blood is very different than doing it before, as it is mandatory. Therefore, in this challenge, we aim at the recognition of the macro and micro activities taking place during cooking sessions. CHALLENGE In this challenge, participants will create methods for recognizing both the macro and micro activities occurring in a 30 seconds window during a cooking session. The evaluation will be done based on the average of the accuracy of the macro activity (classification) and that of the micro activities (multilabel classification) PRIZES The winner (one team representative) will get - 100K yen, and - be invited to our installations in Kitakyushu, Japan. The itinerary will be supported 250K yen. Read conditions in the web page.
