Domain Generalization for Smartphone-Based Human Activity Recognition: A Systematic Analysis of Components and Interactions

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper presents a comprehensive benchmark for Domain Generalization (DG) in smartphone-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR), running over 410,000 experiments across multiple architectures, training objectives, initialization strategies, and architectural tweaks. It finds that individual DG components offer limited, highly conditional improvements, while combined configurations often yield stronger, sometimes super‑additive gains that depend on the model and shift scenario. The study also highlights that current source‑validation selection captures only a fraction of the potential oracle performance, underscoring the need for joint DG design and robust model‑selection methods.

STELLA: Efficient Sensor-to-LLM Translation for On-Device Human Activity Recognition

arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.
