Cross-Domain HAR: Few Shot Transfer Learning for Human Activity Recognition

no code implementations22 Oct 2023 Megha Thukral, Harish Haresamudram, Thomas Ploetz

Yet they can fail when the differences between source and target conditions are too large and/ or only few samples from a target application domain are available, each of which are typical challenges in real-world human activity recognition scenarios.

Towards Learning Discrete Representations via Self-Supervision for Wearables-Based Human Activity Recognition

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Harish Haresamudram, Irfan Essa, Thomas Ploetz

Based on an extensive experimental evaluation on a suite of wearables-based benchmark HAR tasks, we demonstrate the potential of our learned discretization scheme and discuss how discretized sensor data analysis can lead to substantial changes in HAR.

ConvBoost: Boosting ConvNets for Sensor-based Activity Recognition

1 code implementation22 May 2023 Shuai Shao, Yu Guan, Bing Zhai, Paolo Missier, Thomas Ploetz

Specifically, with the introduction of three conceptual layers--Sampling Layer, Data Augmentation Layer, and Resilient Layer -- we develop three "boosters" -- R-Frame, Mix-up, and C-Drop -- to enrich the per-epoch training data by dense-sampling, synthesizing, and simulating, respectively.

Simple Yet Surprisingly Effective Training Strategies for LSTMs in Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition

no code implementations23 Dec 2022 Shuai Shao, Yu Guan, Xin Guan, Paolo Missier, Thomas Ploetz

What remains a major challenge though is the sporadic activity recognition (SAR) problem, where activities of interest tend to be non periodic, and occur less frequently when compared with the often large amount of irrelevant background activities.

Investigating Enhancements to Contrastive Predictive Coding for Human Activity Recognition

1 code implementation11 Nov 2022 Harish Haresamudram, Irfan Essa, Thomas Ploetz

The dichotomy between the challenging nature of obtaining annotations for activities, and the more straightforward nature of data collection from wearables, has resulted in significant interest in the development of techniques that utilize large quantities of unlabeled data for learning representations.

Finding Islands of Predictability in Action Forecasting

no code implementations13 Oct 2022 Daniel Scarafoni, Irfan Essa, Thomas Ploetz

We address dense action forecasting: the problem of predicting future action sequence over long durations based on partial observation.

Ubi-SleepNet: Advanced Multimodal Fusion Techniques for Three-stage Sleep Classification Using Ubiquitous Sensing

1 code implementation19 Nov 2021 Bing Zhai, Yu Guan, Michael Catt, Thomas Ploetz

Experimental results demonstrate important evidence that three-stage sleep can be reliably classified by fusing cardiac/movement sensing modalities, which may potentially become a practical tool to conduct large-scale sleep stage assessment studies or long-term self-tracking on sleep.

Explainable Activity Recognition for Smart Home Systems

no code implementations20 May 2021 Devleena Das, Yasutaka Nishimura, Rajan P. Vivek, Naoto Takeda, Sean T. Fish, Thomas Ploetz, Sonia Chernova

In this work, we build on insights from Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques and introduce an explainable activity recognition framework in which we leverage leading XAI methods to generate natural language explanations that explain what about an activity led to the given classification.
