Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar enables privacy-preserving human activity recognition (HAR), yet real-world deployment remains hindered by costly annotation and poor transferability under domain shift. Although prior efforts partially alleviate these challenges, most still require retraining or adaptation for each new deployment setting. This keeps mmWave HAR in a repeated collect-tune-redeploy cycle, making scalable real-world deployment difficult. In this paper, we present RAGent, a deployment-time training-free framework for mmWave HAR that reformulates recognition as evidence-grounded inference over reusable radar knowledge rather than deployment-specific model optimization. Offline, RAGent constructs a reusable radar knowledge base through constrained cross-modal supervision, where a Vision-Language Model (VLM) transfers activity semantics from synchronized videos to paired radar segments without manual radar annotation. At deployment time, RAGent recognizes activities from radar alone by retrieving physically comparable precedents in an explicit kinematic space and resolving the final label through structured multi-role reasoning. The reasoning protocol is further refined offline through zero-gradient self-evolution. Extensive experiments on a self-collected dataset show that RAGent achieves 93.39% accuracy without per-domain retraining or target-domain adaptation, while generalizing robustly across domains.

Rapid advances in speech synthesis and audio editing have made realistic forgeries increasingly accessible, yet existing detection methods remain vulnerable to tampering or depend on visual/wearable sensors. In this paper, we present VoxAnchor, a system that physically grounds audio authentication in vocal dynamics by leveraging the inherent coherence between speech acoustics and radar-sensed throat vibrations. VoxAnchor uses contactless millimeter-wave radar to capture fine-grained throat vibrations that are tightly coupled with human speech production, establishing a hard-to-forge anchor rooted in human physiology. The design comprises three main components: (1) a cross-modal frame-work that uses modality-specific encoders and contrastive learning to detect subtle mismatches at word granularity; (2) a phase-aware pipeline that extracts physically consistent, temporally faithful throat vibrations; and (3) a dual-stage strategy that combines signal-level onset detection and semantic-level coherence to align asynchronous radar and audio streams. Unlike liveness detection, which only confirms whether speech occurred, VoxAnchor verifies what was spoken through word-level content consistency, exposing localized edits that preserve identity and global authenticity cues. Extensive evaluations show that VoxAnchor achieves robust, fine-grained detection across diverse forgeries (editing, splicing, replay, deepfake) and conditions, with an overall EER of 0.017, low latency, and modest computational cost.
