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.

RevalExo is a new benchmark for locomotion mode recognition that focuses on functional daily activities performed by older adults and clinical cohorts. It includes 27 participants from three groups—healthy older adults, stroke survivors, and older adults with probable sarcopenia—recorded with lower-body IMUs and, for a subset, synchronized egocentric video. The dataset offers 10.1 hours of frame‑level annotations across 11 locomotion modes, and the authors evaluate unimodal, multimodal, cross‑population, and cross‑modal recognition challenges, finding that sensor fusion improves performance but transitions and generalization remain difficult.

arXiv:2606. 04019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies on sensor-language alignment have shown that two-stage frameworks can improve the semantic modeling ability of wearable-sensor human activity recognition (HAR), where SensorLLM-style methods first perform motion-to-language alignment and then fine-tune the model for downstream tasks.
