1. MP 16 - 899 Office Activity Awareness Ian Li Machine Perception Spring 2005

2. MP 16 - 899 Activity awareness can be good Awareness of how one uses time in the office can be useful Manage activities, coordinate interaction with others, and assess your own productivity But, too much to remember and recording can be tedious

3. MP 16 - 899 Computers can help Delegate recording of activity to computers Can monitor daily Can store activity for months and years User can focus on analyzing the information at the end of the day or week

4. MP 16 - 899 What did I do? System for office activity detection Applied system for productivity assessment

5. MP 16 - 899 What is the result? System can reliably detect activity in the office environment (87%-93%) System can somewhat match the users measurements of their own productivity (up to 74%)

6. MP 16 - 899 The rest of the talk… System: activity detection Application: productivity assessment Future work

7. MP 16 - 899 Sensors for detecting activity Walking Sitting/standing Sitting & talking Not in space Activities detected Amount of motion Extracted Features Sensors Using mouse Pressing keys Not using computer Using mouse or keyboard? Talking Not talking Sound level

8. MP 16 - 899 Data collection tool

9. MP 16 - 899 Ground truth for activity detection Took snapshot every half minute not in spacewalking sitting & talking sitting & talking? sitting

10. MP 16 - 899 Activity can be detected accurately Using microphone and camera features

11. MP 16 - 899 Applying to productivity awareness Can we measure productivity by looking at activities? How aware are people of their own productivity?

12. MP 16 - 899 Recording productivity Measurement of productivity What percentage of the past 15 minutes did you spend actively engaged in a work-related task? Experience sampling technique Every 15 minutes the timer plays a bird sound Bird sound

13. MP 16 - 899 Using knowledge of activity is okay for detecting productivity

14. MP 16 - 899 Using raw features is slightly better for detecting productivity!

15. MP 16 - 899 Future work Longer deployment of the system How many features are sufficient to predict productivity? Use temporal model (e.g., HMMs) Activity-oriented vs. task-oriented measurement of productivity Other applications of activity awareness Setting goals and monitoring completion of goals
