description This paper presents an integrated approach to developing lightweight, high-performance deep learning models for human activity recognition (HAR) using WiFi Channel State Information (CSI). Motivated by the need for accuracy and efficiency in resource-constrained environments, we combine Bayesian Optimization-based Neural Architecture Search (NAS) with a structured pruning algorithm. NAS identifies optimal network configurations, while pruning systematically removes redundant parameters, preserving accuracy. This approach allows for robust activity recognition from diverse WiFi datasets under varying conditions. Experimental results across multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method not only maintains but often improves accuracy after pruning, resulting in models that are both smaller and more accurate. This offers a scalable and adaptable solution for real-world deployments in IoT and mobile platforms, achieving an optimal balance of efficiency and accuracy in HAR using WiFi CSI.
