Beyond Simulated Benchmarks: Evaluating Motion Representations for Fall Detection Under Real-World Data Scarcity

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Falls are a major health concern for older adults, and wearable sensors have been widely explored for detecting falls and enabling timely intervention. However, real-world falls are extremely rare: collecting 100 of them requires an estimated 100,000 days of monitoring, resulting in severely limited labelled data for training machine learning models.
