• Abstract summary: We propose an original approach for human activity recognition (HAR) with commercial IEEE 802.11ac (WiFi) devices. To achieve this, we devise a technique to extract, clean and process the received phases from the channel frequency response (CFR) of the WiFi channel. The proposed HAR framework is trained on data collected as a person performs four different activities and is tested on unseen setups. In the worst case scenario, the proposed HAR technique reaches an average accuracy higher than 95%, validating the effectiveness of the extracted Doppler information.

• Abstract: Here, we propose an original approach for human activity recognition (HAR) with commercial IEEE 802.11ac (WiFi) devices, which generalizes across different persons, days and environments. To achieve this, we devise a technique to extract, clean and process the received phases from the channel frequency response (CFR) of the WiFi channel, obtaining an estimate of the Doppler shift at the receiver of the communication link. The Doppler shift reveals the presence of moving scatterers in the environment, while not being affected by (environment specific) static objects. The proposed HAR framework is trained on data collected as a person performs four different activities and is tested on unseen setups, to assess its performance as the person, the day and/or the environment change with respect to those considered at training time. In the worst case scenario, the proposed HAR technique reaches an average accuracy higher than 95%, validating the effectiveness of the extracted Doppler information, used in conjunction with a learning algorithm based on a neural network, in recognizing human activities in a subject and environment independent fashion.

  Wi-Fi devices can effectively be used as passive radar systems that sense what happens in the surroundings and can even discern human activity. We propose a principled architecture which employs Variational Auto-Encoders for estimating a latent distribution responsible for generating the data. We verify that the fused data processed by different antennas of the same Wi-Fi receiver results in increased accuracy of human activity recognition.

• Disentangled Representation Learning for RF Fingerprint Extraction under Unknown Channel Statistics [77.13542705329328]
  We propose a framework of disentangled representation learning(DRL) that first learns to factor the input signals into a device-relevant component and a device-irrelevant component via adversarial learning. The implicit data augmentation in the proposed framework imposes a regularization on the RFF extractor to avoid the possible overfitting of device-irrelevant channel statistics. Experiments validate that the proposed approach, referred to as DR-RFF, outperforms conventional methods in terms of generalizability to unknown complicated propagation environments.

  Existing models are trained on clean data, which causes a textitgap between clean data training and real-world inference. We propose a method from the perspective of domain adaptation, by which both high- and low-quality samples are embedding into similar vector space. Experiments on the widely-used dataset, Snips, and large scale in-house dataset (10 million training examples) demonstrate that this method not only outperforms the baseline models on real-world (noisy) corpus but also enhances the robustness, that is, it produces high-quality results under a noisy environment.
