Human Activity Recognition (HAR) from wearable sensors supports applications in healthcare, rehabilitation, fitness tracking, and smart environments. Yet, existing deep learning approaches require dataset-specific training, large labeled corpora, and repeated adaptation to new sensor settings or activity taxonomies.

arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.

HALO is a heterogeneity‑aware, language‑aligned foundation model for inertial measurement unit (IMU) based human activity recognition. It uses a two‑stage training process: first, a self‑supervised encoder learns to handle diverse sensor configurations and natural‑language sensor descriptions; second, the encoder is aligned with text embeddings through synonym‑aware contrastive learning, enabling open‑set recognition via cosine similarity. Trained on ten public HAR datasets, HALO outperforms five state‑of‑the‑art baselines across eight metrics while using only ~35 M parameters, and improves zero‑shot open‑set accuracy by 13.7 percentage points over 87 training labels.

The paper introduces a coverage-aware virtual IMU augmentation framework for human activity recognition. It selects diverse and scarce data points in a learned sensor embedding space, generates virtual IMU samples as prompts, ranks them by proximity and label consistency, and incorporates them into training with reliability-based weights. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance gains over existing baselines, with ablation studies confirming the framework’s effectiveness.
