2. Outline Motivation and Background Design and Methods Results Conclusion

3. Obesity Common – 34% of U.S. population are obese [ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ] Serious – 5 th leading risk for global deaths [WHO, 2014] – Heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] Costly – In 2008, annual medical cost was $147 billion in the U.S. [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] – In 2008, medical cost was $1,429 higher than of those of normal weight. [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]

4. Obesity treatments Dietary changes Exercise and activity Behavior changes Weight-loss medication Weight-loss surgery Limit energy intake (EI)* Balancing EI and EE (energy expenditure)

5. Monitoring EI Most widely used tools Food diary 24-hour recall Food frequency questionnaire Technology-based tools Camera [Martin et al., 2009] Wearable sensors [Amft et al., 2008]

19. Regularity of manipulation Calculate for each segment in data Distribution statistics can be used for Bayes classifier 29>> Distributions (set 1)

20. Regularity of manipulation Distributions (set 2) 34>>

21. Features Feature 2, time since last eating activity Time component After a person eats, very unlikely to eat again immediately Probability starts increasing as time passes

22. Time since last EA Let t last = end time of last segments classified as EA Let t = middle of time of unknown segment currently being classified Then,

23. Time since last EA Bayes classifier requires probability distributions for both EA and non-EA It is possible to calculate time between meals Nonsensical for opposite class Time since last non-EA? 1 – p(f|EA)

24. Time since last EA Compute cumulative distribution function (CDF) of time since last EA. p(f|EA) = CDF, p(f|nonEA) = 1 - CDF CDF for time since last EA (set 2)

25. Features Feature 3, cumulative eating time Time component People spend a certain amount of time eating and drinking in a day(Around 1.1 hrs. according to Dept. of Labor Statistics )

26. Cumulative eating time At time t, cumulative eating time: Distribution of times involving non events are nonsensical Compute CDF for each recording and average in each data set

27. Cumulative eating time CDF for cumulative eating time (set 2)

28. Cumulative eating time p(f|EA) = σ 2 cdf, μ cdf from average CDF p(f|nonEA) = 1 – p(f|EA)
