• Authors: Rodrigo Hernangomez, Igor Bjelakovic, Lorenzo Servadei, and Slawomir Stanczak
• Abstract summary: In this work, we consider the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation across radar configurations in the context of deep-learning human activity classification. We focus on the theory-inspired technique of Margin Disparity Discrepancy, which has already been proved successful in the area of computer vision. Our experiments extend this technique to radar data, achieving a comparable accuracy to fewshot supervised approaches for the same classification problem.

• Abstract: Commercial radar sensing is gaining relevance and machine learning algorithms constitute one of the key components that are enabling the spread of this radio technology into areas like surveillance or healthcare. However, radar datasets are still scarce and generalization cannot be yet achieved for all radar systems, environment conditions or design parameters. A certain degree of fine tuning is, therefore, usually required to deploy machine-learning-enabled radar applications. In this work, we consider the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation across radar configurations in the context of deep-learning human activity classification using frequency-modulated continuous-wave. For that, we focus on the theory-inspired technique of Margin Disparity Discrepancy, which has already been proved successful in the area of computer vision. Our experiments extend this technique to radar data, achieving a comparable accuracy to fewshot supervised approaches for the same classification problem.

  Training radar models is hindered by the cost and difficulty of annotating large-scale radar data. We propose a self-supervised learning framework to leverage the large amount of unlabeled radar data to pre-train radar-only embeddings for self-driving perception tasks. When used for downstream object detection, we demonstrate that the proposed self-supervision framework can improve the accuracy of state-of-the-art supervised baselines by $5.8%$ in mAP.
