Sensor-based human activity recognition is an essential task for automatic behavior analysis for sports player, senior citizens, and IoT applications. The traditional approaches are based on hand-crafted features which use fixed mathematical rules to extract the features from the input data and are not capable of incremental learning. In this paper, we proposed a stacked long Short-term memory (LSTM) network for recognizing six human behaviors from the smartphone data. The network consists of a five LSTM cell that is trained end-to-end on the sensor data. The network is preceded by a single layer neural network that pre-processes the data for the stacked LSTM network. An L2regularizer is used in the cost function which helps the network in generalization. The network is evaluated on public domain UCI dataset and quantitative results are compared against six state-of-the-art methods. The performance is calculated in terms of precision-recall and the average accuracy. The proposed network improves the average accuracy by 0.93% as compared to the closest state-of-the-art method without any manual feature engineering.
