We study the problem of floor identification for radiofrequency (RF) signal samples obtained in a crowdsourced manner, where the signal samples are highly heterogeneous and most samples lack their floor labels. We propose GRAFICS, a graph embedding-based floor identification system. GRAFICS first builds a highly versatile bipartite graph model, having APs on one side and signal samples on the other. GRAFICS then learns the low-dimensional embeddings of signal samples via a novel graph embedding algorithm named E-LINE. GRAFICS finally clusters the node embeddings along with the embeddings of a few labeled samples through a proximity-based hierarchical clustering, which eases the floor identification of every new sample. We validate the effectiveness of GRAFICS based on two large-scale datasets that contain RF signal records from 204 buildings in Hangzhou, China, and five buildings in Hong Kong. Our experiment results show that GRAFICS achieves highly accurate prediction performance with only a few labeled samples (96% in both micro- and macro-F scores) and significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms (by about 45% improvement in micro-F score and 53% in macro-F score).
To run the code, make sure you have installed the following packages:
tensorflow 1.15
numpy
prettytable
networkx
numba
scikit-learn
matplotlib
You can also use pip install -r requirements.txt
to install necessary packages.
You can run the code below in a sequential order:
- folder_init.py
