Deep SE-BiLSTM with IFPOA Fine-Tuning for Human Activity Recognition Using Mobile and Wearable Sensors

Pervasive computing, human–computer interaction, human behavior analysis, and human activity recognition (HAR) fields have grown significantly. Deep learning (DL)-based techniques have recently been effectively used to predict various human actions using time series data from wearable sensors and mobile devices. The management of time series data remains difficult for DL-based techniques, despite their excellent performance in activity detection. Time series data still has several problems, such as difficulties in heavily biased data and feature extraction. For HAR, an ensemble of Deep SqueezeNet (SE) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) with improved flower pollination optimization algorithm (IFPOA) is designed to construct a reliable classification model utilizing wearable sensor data in this research. The significant features are extracted automatically from the raw sensor data by multi-branch SE-BiLSTM. The model can learn both short-term dependencies and long-term features in sequential data due to SqueezeNet and BiLSTM. The different temporal local dependencies are captured effectively by the proposed model, enhancing the feature extraction process. The hyperparameters of the BiLSTM network are optimized by the IFPOA. The model performance is analyzed using three benchmark datasets: MHEALTH, KU-HAR, and PAMPA2. The proposed model has achieved 99.98%, 99.76%, and 99.54% accuracies on MHEALTH, KU-HAR, and PAMPA2 datasets, respectively. The proposed model performs better than other approaches from the obtained experimental results. The suggested model delivers competitive results compared to state-of-the-art techniques, according to experimental results on four publicly accessible datasets.
