Ensemble human movement sequence prediction model with Apriori based Probability Tree Classifier (APTC) and Bagged J48 on Machine learning

The accurate prediction of human movement trajectory has a variety of benefits for many applications such as optimizing nurse’s trajectory in a hospital, optimizing movements of old or disabled people to minimize their routine efforts, etc. To perform human movement prediction, large amount of historical positioning data from sensors has to be collected and mined. We analyzed different human sequential movement prediction approaches and their limitations. In this work, we propose a new classifier named Apriori based Probability Tree Classifier (APTC) which predicts the human movement sequence patterns in indoor environment. The APTC classifier is integrated into Bagged J48 Machine learning algorithm which results in an ensemble model to predict the future human movement patterns. The patterns are mined based on spatial, temporal and social data which add more accuracy to our prediction. Our model also performs clustering mechanism to detect the abnormal patterns.
