Activity Annotation

Activity annotation focuses on accurately labeling human activities within various data modalities, such as wearable sensor readings and videos, to improve the performance of automated activity recognition systems. Current research emphasizes developing robust annotation methods, including leveraging multi-modal data (e.g., combining video, text, and sensor data) and employing techniques like contrastive learning and optimal transport to address challenges like data scarcity and noisy labels. These advancements are crucial for improving the accuracy and efficiency of applications ranging from healthcare monitoring and personalized fitness coaching to online content moderation and understanding human behavior in video data.
