Abstract
The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across industries has generated massive heterogeneous datasets. However, training Artificial Intelligence (AI) models on such fragmented data often leads to low generalization, high preprocessing overhead, and domain-specific limitations.
This paper introduces a Cross-Domain Data Optimization (CDDO) framework, a novel preprocessing pipeline that groups IoT sensor data behaviorally (on/off, threshold-based, conditional) and segregates domain features into shared and exclusive sets before training.
Experimental validation across healthcare, agriculture, and automotive domains shows improved generalization, reduced training time, and enhanced accuracy. The CDDO framework presents a scalable, lightweight strategy for preparing raw IoT data to train robust AI models adaptable to multi-domain environments.

Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) underpins modern digital transformation by integrating billions of devices into cyber-physical systems. These devices continuously collect environmental and operational data that, when processed by AI, can drive automation and intelligent decision-making in domains such as healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation.
Yet, IoT data is highly heterogeneous—differing in format, granularity, and semantics. Training AI models on such data poses challenges:
-
High preprocessing overhead
-
Domain bias (low adaptability)
-
Scalability limitations
While domain generalization (DG) and federated learning (FL) approaches attempt to solve this problem at the model level, data-layer optimization remains underexplored.
This paper introduces the CDDO framework, which restructures raw IoT data before it enters AI pipelines.
Related Work
-
Domain Generalization (DG): Works by Zhou et al. and Li et al. classify strategies like alignment-based, meta-learning, and ensemble-based approaches.
-
Federated Learning (FL): FedADG and FedSDAF propose privacy-preserving training but struggle with raw heterogeneous data.
-
Sensor Fusion: Multi-sensor integration has improved decision-making, but preprocessing complexity remains high.
-
Unsupervised Preprocessing: Studies on clustering IoT streams exist, but lack integration into AI training.
Gap: Few works focus on data structuring before AI training, motivating the CDDO framework.
Comparative Analysis
Most existing solutions emphasize model design (adversarial training, meta-learning).
In contrast, CDDO focuses on data-level optimization.
Key Contributions:
-
Groups IoT data by behavior
-
Segregates features into shared and exclusive sets
-
Provides a model-agnostic preprocessing pipeline
The CDDO Framework
The Cross-Domain Data Optimization framework consists of three stages:
1. Behavioral Data Grouping
-
On/Off (binary state)
-
Threshold-based (value exceeds condition)
-
Conditional (multi-sensor triggers)
2. Feature Segregation
-
Shared Features (common across domains)
-
Exclusive Features (domain-specific)
3. Optimized AI Training
-
Base Encoder (trained on shared features)
-
Domain-Specific Decoder (fine-tuned with exclusive features)
Pseudocode Example:
def CDDO_pipeline(iot_data):
grouped_data = group_by_behavior(iot_data)
for domain in grouped_data.domains:
shared, exclusive = segregate_features(grouped_data[domain])
encoded = base_encoder.train(shared)
decoder = train_decoder(encoded, exclusive)
save_model(domain, decoder)
Experimental Evaluation
-
Domains: Healthcare, Agriculture, Automotive
-

-
Metrics: Training Time Reduction, Generalization Score, Accuracy

-
Training time reduced by 40%
-

Applications
-
Smart Healthcare (diagnostic models using SpO₂, ECG)
-
Precision Agriculture (crop-specific AI models)
-
Automotive Telematics (driver safety, predictive maintenance)
-
Smart Cities (pollution monitoring, disaster management)
Conclusion
This paper presented the CDDO framework, a preprocessing pipeline for IoT data that enhances AI model generalization. Unlike heavy model-level solutions, CDDO optimizes data before training, reducing complexity and boosting adaptability across domains.
