XTransfer enables efficient, few-shot model transfer for edge human sensing

Researchers have introduced XTransfer, a novel method for transferring pre-trained deep learning models to new human sensing applications on edge devices. This approach is designed to be modality-agnostic and requires only a small amount of sensor data for adaptation. XTransfer employs model repairing to safely adjust pre-trained layers and layer recombining to efficiently restructure models by selecting and combining relevant layers from source models. Evaluations across various human sensing datasets demonstrate that XTransfer achieves state-of-the-art performance while substantially lowering the costs associated with data collection, model training, and edge deployment.

IMPACT Enables more efficient development and deployment of AI models for human sensing on resource-constrained edge devices.
