Probabilistic parsing of dietary activity events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dietary behaviour is an important lifestyle aspect and directly related to long-term health. We present an approach to detect eating and drinking intake cycles from body-worn sensors. Information derived from the sensors are considered as abstract activity events and a sequence modelling is applied utilising probabilistic context-free grammars. Different grammar models are discussed and applied to dietary intake evaluation data. The detection performance for different foods and food categories is reported. We show that the approach is a feasible strategy to segment dietary intake cycles and identify the food category. Keywords—Automatic dietary monitoring, nutrition, intake cycle, eating detection, PCFG, Earley-Stolcke parsing.

Feature Forest Models for Probabilistic HPSG Parsing
Probabilistic modeling of lexicalized grammars is difficult because these grammars exploit complicated data structures, such as typed feature structures. This prevents us from applying common methods of probabilistic modeling in which a complete structure is divided into substructures under the assumption of statistical independence among sub-structures. For example, part-of-speech tagging of a...
متن کاملA model of syntactic disambiguation based on lexicalized grammars
This paper presents a new approach to syntactic disambiguation based on lexicalized grammars. While existing disambiguation models decompose the probability of parsing results into that of primitive dependencies of two words, our model selects the most probable parsing result from a set of candidates allowed by a lexicalized grammar. Since parsing results given by the lexicalized grammar cannot...
متن کاملUnderstanding Sports Tactics Based on Grammatical Video Representation
In this paper, a probabilistic framework is proposed to represent high level semantic concepts of temporal visual events. It is applied to sports videos to address the inference of common sports tactics through multilevel probabilistic parsing trees. In sports videos, a higher level concept typically consists of multiple lower level concepts. Such hierarchical relationships are usually apparent...
متن کاملStructural Zeros versus Sampling Zeros
Probabilistic sequence models estimated from large corpora typically require smoothing techniques to reserve some probability mass for unobserved events. These techniques fail to distinguish between events unobserved due to sampling limitations, sampling zeros, and those unobserved due to structural reasons such as syntactic constraints, structural zeros. We investigate the use of statistical t...
متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
