arXiv:2608. 07385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning disentangled representations is a key requirement for developing versatile, general-purpose, and sustainable models in multi-modal wearable computing.
arXiv:2607. 27635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable sensors continuously capture fine-grained multivariate time-series data, providing opportunities to model behavioural patterns associated with health outcomes.
The study compares temporal deep learning models—Bidirectional LSTM, Temporal Convolutional Network, and Transformer—for physiological emotion recognition using two multimodal wearable datasets, WESAD and EmoWear. Experiments evaluate wrist-only, chest-only, and multimodal sensor configurations with participant-independent leave-one-subject-out cross-validation, and also explore ensembles, sensor ablation, sampling frequency, and saliency analysis. Results show that the best architecture varies by dataset, multimodal sensing consistently outperforms single-site configurations, and a 4 Hz sampling rate offers a cost-effective operating point.

arXiv:2411. 15240v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wearable movement data is collected by nearly all commercially available smartwatches and is a valuable resource for mental health research, reflecting fine-grained temporal behavioral trends.
The paper introduces Sensori, a self‑supervised foundation model that learns health representations from 24‑hour raw tri‑axial wrist movement data. Trained on 122,640 participants across the UK, China, and the US, Sensori captures diverse movement behaviours, demographics, health axes, and physical function. In independent cohorts, the model improved disease classification for 52 of 102 conditions and incident disease risk prediction for 26 of 87 conditions, especially for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
arXiv:2607. 22779v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hand gesture recognition via surface electromyography (sEMG) is fundamental to prosthetic control.
This study evaluates machine learning and deep‑learning models for classifying balanced versus imbalanced postural states in immersive virtual reality using a multimodal dataset of kinematic, EMG, and EDA signals. The Mamba‑inspired CNN (MI‑CNN) achieved the highest accuracy (96.76%) and, through SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), identified kinematic features as the most influential for detecting imbalance. Even after reducing input dimensionality by 33% based on SHAP importance, the model maintained near‑optimal performance (0.957 accuracy and F1‑score).

arXiv:2608. 15861v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-grained wrist activity recognition can support applications such as procedural step guidance and context-aware assistance, yet acquiring labeled data for every new task, user, and activity granularity remains a bottleneck.
