One Residual with Three Reuses: A Wristband Front End for Gesture Sensing

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 16542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous wrist-worn hand sensing for gesture interfaces and motor symptom monitoring needs an always-on front end that fits inside a coin-cell power budget while pairing a micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU) with a 60 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar to stay robust under occlusion and on-body drift.

When Temporal Perturbations Act Like Sensor Biases: Label-Free Auditing of Wearable Activity Recognizers

The paper introduces SpectrumAudit, a label‑sealed auditing method for wearable human‑activity recognition models that uses phase‑randomized full‑window stimuli to probe sensor biases. By replaying the DC component and a zero‑mean residual on held‑out subjects, the audit demonstrates significant accuracy drops across 27 victim models, with DC perturbations proving more harmful than AC in most cases. The study also shows that the audit can distinguish between persistent sensor offsets and zero‑mean variations under a fixed peak‑budget.

Dynamic Influence-Weighted Distillation for Single-IMU Activity Recognition

The paper proposes Dynamic Influence-Weighted Distillation (DIW) to improve single-IMU activity recognition by leveraging a frozen four-IMU teacher during training. DIW assigns sample-wise gates to logit and feature losses, outperforming both supervised learning and fixed-weight knowledge distillation on the WEAR dataset with a macro‑F1 of 0.638451. The method enhances a right‑arm IMU model without altering the deployed sensor setup or the student network architecture.
