Learning Human Behavior
Smart Car - driver behavior modeling 
The project is a real-time data acquisition and playback system and a machine learning --dynamical graphical models-- framework for modeling and recognizing driver maneuvers at a tactical level, with particular focus on how contextual information affects the driver's performance. The SmartCar's perceptual input is multi-modal: four video signals capture the surrounding traffic, the driver's head position and the driver's viewpoint; and a real-time data acquisition system records the car's brake, gear, steering wheel angle, speed and acceleration throttle signals. 
Wearable Behavior Acquisition
A wearable platform is worn that captures regularities in the users behavior and forms a predictive model of his activity. On board, a camera tracks the user's face while another gazes at his environment from the chest area. In addition, a microphone processes his speech as well as the ambient surrounding audio. Patterns are discovered by machine learning and permit us to make inferences about long-term human activity as well as predict short term responses to situations.
