Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Along with the aging population, Japanese caretaking industry is facing a severe labor shortage. Utilizing data could improve the efficiency of caretakers’ daily work and thus be one of the solutions for this problem. In this paper, we analyzed caretakers’ trajectory data, aiming to reduce recording times and human error, and tried estimating the caretakers’ actions. We applied two models, a model using conventional Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), especially Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), which recently have gathered attention due to their high performance regarding sequence prediction tasks. Our human trajectory classifying task, focusing on the two most important cares, feeding and excretion care, revealed that LSTM prevailed over HMM by achieving 91.6% estimating correctly, while the model using HMMs estimated 74.4% correctly.
