Smartphones and similar mobile devices present an unprecedented opportunity to collect data about human behaviour. Integrated into daily life, devices are privy to information about who we communicate with, where we are, and how we spend our time. However, without the proper tools for analysis and the ability to scale up to large amounts of data and large numbers of users, this data is of limited value. This thesis presents tools for extracting information about activities and location from sensor data available on commodity smartphones. We present an algorithm for comparing time series and demonstrate on a large number of benchmark problems that it is competitive with, and often exceeds, the performance of existing algorithms, while being ...
