HB-PVI: A Hierarchical Bayesian Personalization and Value-of-Information Framework for Complex Activity Recognition

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

HB‑PVI is a hierarchical Bayesian framework that jointly models participant heterogeneity, the benefits and harms of four personalization mechanisms, and the economic value of acquiring additional labels for complex activity recognition. In a 47‑participant MUSIC‑CAR cohort, the framework used a sequential‑Monte‑Carlo updater, a Student‑t hierarchical gain model, and a one‑step expected‑value‑of‑sample‑information stopping rule. The results showed that, under realistic cost and benefit thresholds, the policy avoided labeling entirely, matching an always‑stop strategy while maintaining near‑optimal predictive performance and reducing labeling effort by 100%.

BayaHAR: Lightweight Bayesian Few-Shot User Adaptation for On-Device Personalized Human Activity Recognition

BayaHAR is a lightweight, gradient‑free framework that adapts pretrained sensor‑based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) classifiers to new users by converting them into Prototypical Networks with prior prototypes that maintain zero‑shot performance. It introduces closed‑form Bayesian prototype estimation for labeled calibration data and extends this approach to weakly labeled data, requiring only activity labels. With just three seconds of calibration per activity, supervised adaptation boosts test macro‑F1 on unseen users by 2.76–33.44 percentage points across four datasets, while weakly supervised adaptation improves by 0.56–32.13 points, enabling efficient on‑device personalization.

A Montage-Agnostic Encoder for Calibration-Light Cross-User Gesture Recognition from Surface Electromyography

Pattern-recognition control promises a myoelectric prosthesis that responds to many intended gestures rather than one or two, but the promise has stayed in the laboratory. A recogniser trained on one person rarely transfers to the next, and useful performance usually demands a fresh round of labelled calibration from the end user.
