Abstract: Conventionally, activity detection has been through one mode i.e., smart watch. Though it works in reasonable cases, there are chances of false positives considerably. Other approaches include surveillance which limits itself to object detection. Embodiments of present disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting activities performed by user from data captured from multiple sensors.

Features are extracted from FI and pre-processed for a first activity (FA) detection using activity prediction model. Frames from SI are processed for creating bounding box of user and resized thereof to extract pose coordinates vector. Distance between vector of pose coordinates and training vectors of pose coordinates stored in the system is computed and a second activity (SA) is detected accordingly. Both the FA and SA are validated for determining true and/or false positive.

Abstract: Causality is a crucial paradigm in several domains where observational data is available. Primary goal of Causal Inference (CI) is to uncover cause-effect relationship between entities. Conventional methods face challenges in providing an accurate CI framework due to cofounding and selection bias in multiple treatment scenario. The present disclosure computes a Propensity Score (PS) from a received CI data for the plurality of subjects under test for a treatment. A Generalized Propensity Score (GPS) is computed for a plurality of treatments corresponding to the plurality of subjects by using the PS. Further, a plurality of task batches are created using the GPS and given as input to the DNN for training. Errors in factual data and in balancing representation of the DNN are rectified using a novel loss function. The trained DNN is further used for predicting the counter factual treatment response corresponding to the factual treatment data.
