Modelling daily activity patterns from mobile phone location data via deep representation learning

The paper introduces the Activity Chain Encoder (ACE), a self‑supervised deep learning model that transforms passively collected mobile phone location data into daily activity representations. ACE integrates pre‑trained urban embeddings, visit timing, and duration, using a Transformer to capture the sequential structure of stays, and is trained via masked activity modelling and contrastive learning without explicit activity labels. The resulting user‑level profiles are clustered and interpreted with temporal‑functional patterns and Census demographics, revealing six distinct weekday activity‑pattern groups in London that differ in daily rhythms, urban contexts, and demographic characteristics.

Representation Matters in Longitudinal Affective Computing

arXiv:2608. 07518v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Longitudinal, in-the-wild, wearable sensing yields day-level physiology, sleep, activity, and environmental streams, whereas affect and cognition are labeled only episodically (per waves).

PHASE: Passive Human Activity Simulation Evaluation

arXiv:2507. 13505v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cybersecurity simulation environments, such as cyber ranges, honeypots, and sandboxes, require realistic human behavior to be effective, yet no quantitative method exists to assess the behavioral fidelity of synthetic user personas.

Beyond Gait: Person Identification from Millimeter-Wave Point Clouds Across Activities of Daily Living

The paper explores person identification using millimeter‑wave point clouds beyond traditional gait analysis, focusing on seven activities of daily living (ADLs). It introduces the mm‑ADL dataset of 11 subjects and proposes an activity‑conditioned framework that routes each clip to an activity‑specific identity expert via a supervised mixture of experts. Experiments show that hard routing improves closed‑set ID accuracy from 62.1% to 68.0% and significantly boosts re‑identification metrics, demonstrating the benefit of activity context under controlled indoor conditions.
