Abstract
A significant challenge for a supervised learning approach to inertial human activity recognition is the heterogeneity of data generated by individual users, resulting in very poor performance for some subjects. We present an approach to personalized activity recognition based on deep feature representation derived from a convolutional neural network (CNN). We experiment with both categorical cross-entropy loss and triplet loss for training, and describe a novel loss function based on subject triplets. We evaluate these methods on three publicly available inertial human activity recognition datasets (MHEALTH, WISDM, and SPAR) comparing classification accuracy, out-of-distribution activity detection, and generalization to new activity classes. The proposed triplet algorithm achieved an average 96.7% classification accuracy across tested datasets versus the 87.5% achieved by the baseline CNN algorithm. We demonstrate that personalized algorithms, and, in particular, the proposed novel triplet loss algorithms, are more robust to inter-subject variability and thus exhibit better performance on classification and out-of-distribution detection tasks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
