LoRA-Based Cascaded Multimodal Fusion for Action Recognition in Medical Training Environments

This paper presents a cascaded Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA)-based multimodal fusion framework for action and activity recognition in healthcare-oriented training environments. The proposed architecture combines parameter-efficient modality-specific adaptation with sequential fusion, enabling modalities to be integrated in stages without retraining previously learned components.

From Stress to Affect: Multimodal Deep Learning for Physiological Emotion Recognition Across Wearable Sensor Modalities

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.
