• Abstract: The proliferation of deep learning has significantly advanced various fields, yet Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has not fully capitalized on these developments, primarily due to the scarcity of labeled datasets. Despite the integration of advanced Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) in ubiquitous wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers, which offer self-labeled activity data from users, the volume of labeled data remains insufficient compared to domains where deep learning has achieved remarkable success. Addressing this gap, in this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve wearable sensor-based HAR by introducing a pose-to-sensor network model that generates sensor data directly from 3D skeleton pose sequences. our method simultaneously trains the pose-to-sensor network and a human activity classifier, optimizing both data reconstruction and activity recognition. Our contributions include the integration of simultaneous training, direct pose-to-sensor generation, and a comprehensive evaluation on the MM-Fit dataset. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our framework with significant performance improvements over baseline methods.

  We investigate the scaling properties of sensor foundation models across compute, data, and model size. Using a dataset of up to 40 million hours of in-situ heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, accelerometer, skin temperature, and altimeter per-minute data from over 165,000 people, we create LSM. Our results establish the scaling laws of LSM for tasks such as imputation, extrapolation, both across time and sensor modalities.

  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.
