Gated Adaptation for Continual Learning in Human Activity Recognition
Quick summary
arXiv:2603.10046v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wearable sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems increasingly support applications such as remote health monitoring, elderly care, and smart home automation, all of which rely on robust human activity recognition (HAR). Continual learning systems must balance plasticity (learning new tasks) with stability (retaining prior knowledge), yet AI models often exhibit catastrophic forgetting, where learning new tasks degrades performance on earlier ones. This challenge is especially acute in domain-incremental HAR, where on-device model
