Abstract
In this article, we propose a self-supervised learning solution for human activity recognition with smartphone accelerometer data. We aim to develop a model that learns strong representations from accelerometer signals, in order to perform robust human activity classification, while reducing the model's reliance on class labels. Specifically, we intend to enable cross-dataset transfer learning such that our network pretrained on a particular dataset can perform effective activity classification on other datasets (successive to a small amount of fine-tuning). To tackle this problem, we design our solution with the intention of learning as much information from the accelerometer signals as possible. As a result, we design two separate pipelines, one that learns the data in time-frequency domain, and the other in time-domain alone. In order to address the issues mentioned above in regards to cross-dataset transfer learning, we use self-supervised contrastive learning to train each of these streams. Next, each stream is fine-tuned for final classification, and eventually the two are fused to provide the final results. We evaluate the performance of the proposed solution on three datasets, namely, MotionSense, human activities and postural transitions data (HAPT), and heterogeneity human activity recognition (HHAR), and demonstrate that our solution outperforms prior works in this field achieving F1 scores 0.934, 0.911, and 0.826, respectively. We further evaluate the performance of the method in learning generalized features, by using MobiAct dataset for pretraining and the remaining three datasets for the downstream classification task, and show that the proposed solution achieves better performance in comparison with other self-supervised methods in cross-dataset transfer learning.

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
