arXiv:2603.10961v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable accelerometers enable large-scale health monitoring, yet learning robust human-activity representations has been constrained by scarce labeled data. While self-supervised learning offers a remedy, existing methods treat sensor streams as unstructured time series, overlooking the underlying biological structure of human movement, a factor we argue is critical for effective Human Activity Recognition (HAR). We introduce a novel tokenization strategy grounded in the submovement theory of motor control, which posits that continuous wrist
The paper addresses a critical bottleneck in deploying wearable AI for health monitoring, driven by the increasing availability of sensor data and the need for more efficient labeling paradigms.
This work introduces a bio-inspired approach to self-supervised learning for wearable sensor data, potentially unlocking more robust and efficient human activity recognition without extensive manual labeling.
By leveraging the biological structure of human movement, this method could lead to more accurate and generalizable AI models for health monitoring, reducing dependency on expensively labeled datasets.
