Online Probabilistic Interval-Based Event Calculus

Activity recognition systems detect temporal combinations of 'low-level' or 'short-term' activities on sensor data. These systems exhibit various types of uncertainty, often leading to erroneous detection. We present an extension of an interval-based activity recognition system which operates on top of a probabilistic Event Calculus implementation. Our proposed system performs online recognition, as opposed to batch processing, thus supporting data streams. The empirical analysis demonstrates the efficacy of our system, comparing it to interval-based batch recognition, point-based recognition, as well as structure and weight learning models.
