The purpose of the ground truth data is to test the performance of the algorithm on a known dataset. It seems to me that there are two broad potential approaches to this:
We can classify the data according to what actually happened on the ground, just translated into the required language of discrete trips and activities.
Or we can classify according to what we see in the GPS points, informed by what actually happened on the ground.
The ground truth data we currently have (my own) is a sloppy mix of these.
To give an example, should we include activity locations that we actually visited but that don't look like activities in coordinates.csv, perhaps because of missing or inaccurate data?
The benefit of producing a properly true ground truth is that we can measure how far our algorithm (considered as encompassing the app, the phone, etc.) is from actual reality as interpreted by the one who lived it, or at least from a more traditional activity survey.
The benefit of ground truth as manual classification of input data is that it tells us how far we are from the best possible results we can get from the data we have available.
