Description

Human activity recognition (HAR) is essential for applications such as healthcare monitoring, fitness tracking, and smart environments, yet deploying accurate and interpretable models on resource-constrained devices remains challenging. In this paper, we propose XTinyHAR, a lightweight, transformer-based unimodal framework trained via cross-modal knowledge distillation from a multimodal teacher.
