## Abstract (arXiv)

Generally, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) consists of monitoring and analyzing the behavior of one or more persons in order to deduce their activity. In a smart home context, the HAR consists of monitoring daily activities of the residents. Thanks to this monitoring, a smart home can offer home assistance services to improve quality of life, autonomy and health of their residents, especially for elderly and dependent people.
