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.

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) for inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based human activity recognition (HAR) faces a central challenge: bridging the gap between sensor embeddings and semantic class representations. We systematically evaluate seven configurations combining three inference methods with two training pipelines on the PAMAP2 dataset, using 14 seen and 4 unseen activity classes with subjects 108 and 109 held out for testing.
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.

arXiv:2608. 05782v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable human activity recognition (HAR) is often limited by the scarcity of labeled sensor data, especially in low-resource, class-imbalanced, and subject-generalization settings.
