Abstract
Abstract Human activity recognition (HAR) aims to collect time series through wearable devices to precisely identify specific actions. However, the traditional HAR method ignores the activity variances among individuals, which will cause low generalization when applied to a new individual and indirectly enhance the difficulties of personalized HAR service. In this paper, we fully consider activity divergence among individuals to develop an end-to-end model, the multi-source unsupervised co-transfer network (MUCT), to provide personalized activity recognition for new individuals. We denote the collected data of different individuals as multiple domains and implement deep domain adaptation to align each pair of source and target domains. In addition, we propose a consistent filter that utilizes two heterogeneous classifiers to automatically select high-confidence instances from the target domain to jointly enhance the performance on the target task. The effectiveness and performance of our model are evaluated through comprehensive experiments on two activity recognition benchmarks and a private activity recognition data set (collected by our signal sensors), where our model outperforms traditional transfer learning methods at HAR.
