隨著大數據時代來臨，物聯網的發展隨之而起，其背景技術被廣為討論及研究。為打造智慧環境，人類行為辨識成為重要的一環，同時也面臨處理大尺度資料的挑戰。此篇論文以主動學習演算法(Active Learning)做為基礎架構，在此架構中針對人類行為辨識等時間序列資料，根據不同場景提出詢問標記的方法，並考量現實生活中，資料蒐集以連續的方式進行，依資料順序來進行訪問，選擇是否納入訓練集並更新模型。

針對大尺度資料需要大量標記及訓練時間的困難，我們提出有限時間主動學習演算法，傾向在資料蒐集的前期選擇較多訓練資料，並估計其概率正確可學習性(PAC)，做為後期是否能提高詢問標記門檻值的標準，以達到限制模型改變次數的目的，解決標記成本隨著時間增加的困難。

With the rapidly development of Internet of Things (IoT) and big data research, the background technology has been widely discussed. In building IoT smart environments, human activity recognition plays an important role, leading to the challenge of annotating and dealing with large-scale data. In this thesis, we use active learning as our basic framework and apply it to human activity recognition. According to different variety scenarios, several query strategies are designed. Besides, we consider that in the reality, data comes in an ordered fashion. The querying strategies are designed for streaming data to decide whether to include the newly coming instance or not.

Due to the difficulty of labeling and training large-scale data, we propose limited-time active learning. The algorithm tends to query labels and update the model at the very beginning. As time goes by, it queries much fewer labels. Therefore, we can achieve the goal to limit the number of changes done to the model. At the same time, we also solve the difficulty of expensive labeling.
