Original description

ZARA (Z̲ero-training A̲ctivity R̲easoning A̲gents) is a training-free, evidence-grounded LLM agent framework for motion time-series reasoning. It combines statistically grounded domain knowledge, multi-sensor retrieval-augmented evidence, and hierarchical multi-agent reasoning to classify motion sensor data with transparent, human-readable rationales—without fine-tuning or task-specific classifiers.

Before running the Gemini-based inference notebooks, set your API key as an environment variable:

Each dataset directory also includes preprocessing and feature-importance notebooks. Run preprocessing first, then feature-importance generation, and finally the Gemini inference notebook for the corresponding dataset.
