Abstract: EEG-based brain-computer interfaces support a broad range of applications, yet designing decoding architectures that perform well across diverse tasks remains challenging. We introduce AutoBCI, an agentic framework in which a Designer Agent and a Forecaster Agent support the discovery and selection of EEG decoding architectures across tasks. The Designer Agent performs Pool-Guided Architecture Discovery (PGAD), generating and refining architectures through training and validation across multiple EEG tasks, such as emotion recognition, motor imagery, and sleep staging. The Forecaster Agent performs Performance Estimation from Early Knowledge (PEEK), using architecture code, the training protocol, and early learning curves to predict full-budget validation performance and select promising candidates for continued training. Across 14 EEG datasets spanning motor imagery, emotion recognition, and sleep staging, we evaluate AutoBCI with six LLMs, including Opus 5.5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, and compare the architectures selected by the search procedure against ten baselines: six conventional EEG models and four foundation models. The architecture discovered by AutoBCI with Claude Opus 5.5 achieves 64.16% average test balanced accuracy (bAcc), compared with 63.87% for REVE, the strongest baseline on this metric. Using ten observed epochs, PEEK reduces mean absolute error in predicting average validation bAcc from 2.20 to 1.36 percentage points, a 38.1% reduction relative to the best-observed-score baseline.

Abstract: Temporal action localization (TAL) in wearable sensor streams identifies action classes and temporal boundaries, enabling finer-grained activity understanding than conventional action recognition. However, training typically requires costly start--end annotations for every action instance. To reduce this burden, we study point-supervised TAL, where each instance is labeled with only one timestamp and its class. We propose Progressive Sensor Event Expansion (PSEE), which combines semantic activations, sensor-specific transition evidence, and adaptive temporal ownership to recover point-supervised pseudo segments. These segments supervise standard TAL detectors without modifying their inference procedures. Cross-subject experiments on four inertial-sensing benchmarks demonstrate improved pseudo-boundary quality over adapted point-supervised baselines, compatibility with different TAL detectors, and robustness to point sampling.

Abstract: IMU-based human activity recognition (HAR) enables continuous, privacy-friendly monitoring of daily activities using wearable sensors. However, building reliable HAR models that generalize across diverse users and real-world conditions requires large amounts of labeled IMU data, which are expensive and difficult to collect. Existing approaches mainly rely on augmentation or synthesis to expand available data, but indiscriminately adding virtual samples may provide little new coverage and introduce unreliable supervision. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel coverage-aware virtual IMU augmentation framework that decides where to supplement real data, how to generate and select virtual candidates, and how strongly to weight them during training. Specifically, we select diversity and scarcity anchors in a learned sensor embedding space, convert anchor dynamics into prompts, and generate virtual IMU candidates for each anchor. We then rank candidates by a selection cost combining anchor proximity and label consistency, and incorporate the selected candidates into HAR training with reliability-based weights. Experiments on public HAR benchmarks show that our method consistently improves recognition performance over competitive baselines, and ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework design.
