Wearable sensors have permeated into people’s lives, ushering impactful applications in interactive systems and activity recognition. However, practitioners face significant obstacles when dealing with sensing heterogeneities, requiring custom models for different platforms. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the generalizability of motion models across sensor locations. Our analysis highlights this challenge and identifies key on-body locations for building location-invariant models that can be integrated on any device. For this, we introduce the largest multi-location…Apple Machine Learning Research
