New framework uses ontology and personalized memory for human activity recognition

Researchers have developed OntoAR-HAR, a novel framework for human activity recognition (HAR) that leverages ontology-guided agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and personalized memory. This approach decomposes classification into local decisions within a tree-structured activity ontology, combining static population knowledge with user-specific motion patterns. Experiments demonstrate that this hierarchical retrieval and personalized memory system achieves state-of-the-art performance across various LLM backbones and sensing modalities. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the accuracy and personalization of AI systems that interpret human actions from sensor data.

    OntoAR-HAR: Ontology-Guided Agentic RAG with Personalized Memory for Human Activity Recognition

    arXiv:2610.15292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs increasingly support sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) by linking motion signals with activity semantics and physical knowledge. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds decisions in sensor examples and domain f…
