• Title: Virtual Fusion with Contrastive Learning for Single Sensor-based Activity Recognition
• Authors: Duc-Anh Nguyen, Cuong Pham, Nhien-An Le-Khac
• Abstract summary: Various types of sensors can be used for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) Sometimes a single sensor cannot fully observe the user's motions from its perspective, which causes wrong predictions. We propose Virtual Fusion - a new method that takes advantage of unlabeled data from multiple time-synchronized sensors during training, but only needs one sensor for inference.

• Abstract: Various types of sensors can be used for Human Activity Recognition (HAR), and each of them has different strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes a single sensor cannot fully observe the user's motions from its perspective, which causes wrong predictions. While sensor fusion provides more information for HAR, it comes with many inherent drawbacks like user privacy and acceptance, costly set-up, operation, and maintenance. To deal with this problem, we propose Virtual Fusion - a new method that takes advantage of unlabeled data from multiple time-synchronized sensors during training, but only needs one sensor for inference. Contrastive learning is adopted to exploit the correlation among sensors. Virtual Fusion gives significantly better accuracy than training with the same single sensor, and in some cases, it even surpasses actual fusion using multiple sensors at test time. We also extend this method to a more general version called Actual Fusion within Virtual Fusion (AFVF), which uses a subset of training sensors during inference. Our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and F1-score on UCI-HAR and PAMAP2 benchmark datasets. Implementation is available upon request.

  We propose a novel, condition-aware multimodal fusion approach for robust semantic perception of driving scenes.

We set the new state of the art with CAFuser on the MUSES dataset with 59.7 PQ for multimodal panoptic segmentation and 78.2 mIoU for semantic segmentation, ranking first on the public benchmarks.

  A key problem holding up progress in wearable sensor-based human activity recognition is the unavailability of diverse and labeled training data. We propose an unsupervised statistical feature-guided diffusion model specifically optimized for wearable sensor-based human activity recognition. By conditioning the diffusion model on statistical information such as mean, standard deviation, Z-score, and skewness, we generate diverse and representative synthetic sensor data.
