In this paper, we demonstrate a framework for monitoring the physical activity levels in daily life. We collect the data using accelerometer sensors in a realistic setting without any supervision. The ground truth of activities is provided by the participants themselves using an experience sampling application running on mobile phones. The original data is discretized by the hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) into different activity levels and the number of levels is inferred automatically. We validate the accuracy of the extracted patterns by using them for the multi-label classification of activities and demonstrate the high performances in various standard evaluation metrics. We further show that the extracted patterns are highly correlated to the daily routine of users.
