Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of machine learning (ML) and large language models (LLMs) has significantly impacted numerous domains, including human activity recognition (HAR). As these techniques become more sophisticated and accessible, their application in HAR opens up new opportunities for enhancing industries such as healthcare, sports, security, and smart environments. This Special Issue on “Application of Machine Learning in Human Activity Recognition” aims to explore innovative approaches, methodologies, and applications of ML and LLMs in recognizing and interpreting human activities accurately and efficiently.
Human activity recognition involves the automatic detection and classification of physical activities using data from various sensors. With the advent of wearable technology, smartphones, and IoT devices, the availability of rich datasets has grown, necessitating advanced ML and LLM models to analyze and interpret these data effectively. This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research that demonstrates how ML and LLMs can be leveraged to improve the accuracy, reliability, and applicability of HAR systems in real-world scenarios. We look forward to receiving your submissions and contributing to this exciting and rapidly evolving field.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
