Expected to improve the practicality and scalability of wearable devicesProposes a zero-shot human activity recognition (Zero-Shot HAR) AI technology based on wearable sensorsLim Gyu-yeon, Computer Engineering majorLim Gyu-yeon, a third-year Computer Engineering major at Gachon University, recently published a paper as the first author in the top-tier SCI international journal IEEE Sensors Journal (IF 4.5). The corresponding author is Professor Lee Myung-kyu from Hanyang University s Biomedical Engineering Research Institute.The paper, titled Contrastive Learning for Zero-Shot Human Activity Recognition Using Labeled Simple Actions on Wearable Devices, proposes a zero-shot learning (ZSL) AI model for human activity recognition using sensor data collected from wearable devices.The study addresses the limitations of existing zero-shot learning (ZSL) approaches, which rely on external semantic information such as attribute annotations or textual descriptions. By employing contrastive learning, the research proposes a method to learn a structured embedding space directly from raw sensor signals. This approach captures temporal and structural similarities, enabling the system to recognize complex activities or perform new zero-shot classifications that were not observed during training without requiring explicit semantic information demonstrating the potential for a scalable human activity recognition system.This research is expected to significantly enhance the practicality and scalability of wearable devices. By overcoming the limitation of conventional models that are restricted to pre-defined activity classes, it lays the groundwork for flexible adaptation to new activity patterns in fields such as healthcare and rehabilitation monitoring.Paper link: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11184457

Interpreting Traditional Diagnostic Methods Through the Lens of Machine LearningAI Confirms Exterior Interior Differentiation as the Most Crucial Standard in the First Step of DiagnosisGachon University Professor Kim Chang-up, Dongguk University Professor Bae Hyo-jin, and Gachon University Ph.D. candidate Kang Bong-su (from left)A research team led by Professor Kim Chang-up of the College of Korean Medicine at Gachon University has applied artificial intelligence (AI) methods to analyze pattern identification (辨證), the core diagnostic process in Korean medicine, offering a new scientific interpretation.Pattern identification is the process of organizing a patient s diverse symptoms into several key criteria to reach a diagnosis. The team compared this to the data analysis method of dimensionality reduction simplifying complex symptoms using standards such as Exterior Interior (표리, the depth of illness) or Cold Heat (한열, temperature patterns) to make diagnosis more systematic. Their study was based on clinical cases recorded in the classic medical text Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage).The analysis found that distinguishing Exterior Interior was the most crucial initial step. This classification alone effectively linked complex symptoms with medicinal prescriptions, playing a central role in making subsequent diagnosis and treatment more logical and efficient. This aligns with the traditional view of Qing dynasty physician Zheng Guopeng, who emphasized examining Exterior Interior first in the diagnostic sequence.Experiments using an AI decision-tree model confirmed the same result. When trained to select medicinal herbs based solely on symptom data, the model s very first criterion was always the Exterior Interior distinction. Moreover, when this concept was included in the dataset, prescription prediction accuracy improved significantly. The research team explained that this opens a pathway to scientifically analyzing what has long been considered the subjective diagnostic process in Korean medicine.Professor Kim Chang-up commented, This study establishes a foundation for quantitatively and objectively analyzing the clinical reasoning process of Korean medicine. Based on these results, we aim to systematize diagnostic procedures and develop AI-assisted systems for use in both education and clinical practice. The study was led by Professor Kim, with contributions from Dr. Bae Hyo-jin (co first author, now Professor at Dongguk University College of Korean Medicine) and doctoral researcher Kang Bong-su of Gachon University. The findings were published in the October 2025 issue of Computers in Biology and Medicine (Impact Factor 6.3, top 5.2% in JCR for mathematics and computational biology). The research was supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Education of Korea.
