TL;DR: In this article, a wearable activity recognition system is proposed to recognize human activities from body-worn sensors, which can further open the door to a world of healthcare applications, such as fitness monitoring, eldercare support, long-term preventive and chronic care, and cognitive assistance.
Journal Article
A practical approach to recognizing physical activities
TL;DR: In this paper, a personal activity recognition system based on a cell phone platform augmented with a Bluetooth-connected sensor board is proposed to recognize 8 different activities collected from 12 different subjects.
Proceedings Article
A hybrid discriminative/generative approach for modeling human activities
TL;DR: A hybrid approach to recognizing activities is presented, which combines boosting to discriminatively select useful features and learn an ensemble of static classifiers to recognize different activities, with hidden Markov models (HMMs) to capture the temporal regularities and smoothness of activities.

“Are You with Me?” – Using Accelerometers to Determine If Two Devices Are Carried by the Same Person
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method to determine if two devices are carried by the same person by analyzing walking data recorded by low-cost MEMS accelerometers using the coherence function, a measure of linear correlation in the frequency domain.
