A Deep Learning Approach for Recognizing Activity of Daily Living (ADL) for Senior Care: Exploiting Interaction Dependency and Temporal Pattern

We develop a novel hierarchical multi-phase deep-learning framework to recognize ADLs based on the interactions between wearable and object accelerometer signals.
Preparing for the 2nd-round review at MIS Quarterly.

A Deep Transfer Learning Framework for Mobile Health: A Case for Activities of Daily Living Monitoring

We propose a novel deep transfer learning framework that transfers Human Identification (HID) knowledge learned from the rich wearable motion sensors to improve object motion sensor-based HID where data scarcity, setting arbitrariness, and lacking of ground truth have been the major challenges.
Under review at Journal of Management Information Systems.

A Comparative Study of Nanotechnology Development in US and China: Trend, Topic Evolution and Key Players

This study uses patent data from USPTO and SIPO as the proxy to compare the nanotechnology markets in US and China. We employ bibliographic analysis, topic modeling and trend analysis, and social network analysis to compare the market trends, to identify the most addressed R&D topics, the most important players (i.e., research institutions and companies), and to understand the collaboration patterns between patent assignees on different markets.
Under review at Journal of Nanoparticle Research.
