• Abstract: Sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) has been an active research area, owing to its applications in smart environments, assisted living, fitness, healthcare, etc. Recently, deep learning based end-to-end training has resulted in state-of-the-art performance in domains such as computer vision and natural language, where large amounts of annotated data are available. However, large quantities of annotated data are not available for sensor-based HAR. Moreover, the real-world settings on which the HAR is performed differ in terms of sensor modalities, classification tasks, and target users. To address this problem, transfer learning has been employed extensively. In this survey, we focus on these transfer learning methods in the application domains of smart home and wearables-based HAR. In particular, we provide a problem-solution perspective by categorizing and presenting the works in terms of their contributions and the challenges they address. We also present an updated view of the state-of-the-art for both application domains. Based on our analysis of 205 papers, we highlight the gaps in the literature and provide a roadmap for addressing them. This survey provides a reference to the HAR community, by summarizing the existing works and providing a promising research agenda.

  Multi-Task Learning (MTL) is a framework, where multiple related tasks are learned jointly and benefit from a shared representation space. We show that MTL can be successful with classification tasks with little, or non-overlapping annotations. We propose a novel approach, where knowledge exchange is enabled between the tasks via distribution matching.
