Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent advances in hardware and acquisition devices have accelerated the deployment of the Internet of Things, thus enabling myriad applications of human activity recognition. Human activity recognition is a time series classification task that involves predicting user behavior based on sensor data. The task is challenging in real-world applications due to many inherent issues and various practical problems in different scenarios. The most major inherent issue is how to filter noisy sensor data and extract high-quality features for better recognition performance. The practical problems include lightweight algorithms for wearable devices, modeling human behaviors with fewer annotated data, learning to recognize complex activities, continually learning patterns of streaming data, etc. Recently, we have witnessed compelling evidence from successful investigations of machine learning for activity recognition. While machine learning is shown to be effective and achieve state-of-the-art performance, the increasing number of related studies indicates that, in both academic and industrial communities, there is a considerable demand for developing more advanced machine learning algorithms in order to tackle the challenges and achieve a better activity recognition performance. Therefore, it is vital and timely to offer an opportunity of reporting the progress in human activity recognition using sensors and machine learning. The research foci of this Special Issue include theoretical studies, model designs, development, and advanced applications of machine learning algorithms on sensor-based activity data.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
