Zero-Fi: Zero-Shot Wi-Fi-Based Human Activity Recognition via Contrastive Signal-Language Alignment

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.26381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wi-Fi-based human activity recognition has advanced substantially, but most existing methods assume a closed set of activities and require labeled Wi-Fi samples for every target class, limiting their ability to recognize unseen activities. We present Zero-Fi, a contrastive signal-language alignment framework for zero-shot Wi-Fi-based human activity recognition. Zero-Fi learns unified representations from complementary Wi-Fi signal features and aligns them with the semantic representations of natural-language activity descriptions in a shared embedding space. This cross-modal alignment enables Zero-Fi to recognize new activity classes without requiring labeled Wi-Fi samples or model adaptation for those classes. Experiments on large-scale pu
