On-Device Inference versus Wireless Streaming: Energy-Efficient Multi-Modal Deep Learning for Wearable Cardiovascular Patches

arXiv:2510. 18668v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable cardiovascular sensor patches promise continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, but their tight energy, memory, and compute budgets make it unclear whether physiological signals should be analyzed on the device or streamed to the cloud for processing.

Models Got Talent: Identifying High Performing Wearable Human Activity Recognition Models Without Training

The paper investigates the use of Zero Cost Proxies (ZCPs) to identify high‑performing wearable Human Activity Recognition (HAR) models without full training. Eight ZCPs were evaluated across six benchmark HAR datasets, showing that the top‑predicted architectures achieve performance within 7% of fully trained models, and training the top‑10 predictions reaches within 2% of full training. This demonstrates that ZCPs can significantly reduce computational costs while maintaining competitive accuracy in sensor‑based HAR tasks.

LightSleepX: A Lightweight, Inception-Based Dual-Modal Network for Sleep Staging

LightSleepX is a lightweight, inception‑based dual‑modal network designed for sleep staging in resource‑constrained environments. It uses depthwise separable convolutions, multi‑scale enhanced attention for efficient EEG/EOG feature extraction, and a Mamba encoder for long‑range temporal modeling. On public benchmarks, it achieves 85.9% accuracy on Sleep‑EDF‑20 and 81.8% on ISRUC‑S3 with only 0.049M parameters and 195.9 MFLOPs.
