Computer Science 697W - ST-Wearable&MobileSensorComp

The ubiquity of sensor-equipped smartphones and wearables has led to increased interest in leveraging these signals for mobile healthcare, wearability and interaction, entertainment, and other applications. This seminar will explore research issues in sensor computing including: a) inference of human activity, gestures, cognitive state, health state, and physiological markers, by leveraging sensor signals from wearable devices, mobile phones, radio-frequency devices, and other sources, b) computational pipelines for extracting features and analyzing data from a variety of sensors (e.g. accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, camera, radio, etc), and c) end-to-end systems design from physical layer to end applications.
