Kitchen Task Assessment Dataset

With the demographic change towards ageing population, the number of people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia increases. As the ratio between young and elderly population changes towards the seniors, it becomes important to develop intelligent technologies for supporting the elderly in their everyday activities. Such intelligent technologies usually rely on training data in order to learn models for recognising problematic behaviour. One problem these systems face is that there are not many datasets containing training data for people with dementia. What is more, many of the existing datasets are not publicly available due to privacy concerns. To address the above problems, we present a sensor dataset for the kitchen task assessment containing normal and erroneous behaviour due to dementia. The dataset is recorded by actors, who follow instructions describing normal and erroneous behaviour caused by the progression of dementia. Furthermore, we present a semantic annotation scheme which allows reasoning not only about the observed behaviour but also about the causes of the errors.
