• Abstract summary: We propose a self-supervised method for generating long-range, diverse and plausible behaviors to achieve a specific goal location. Our proposed method learns to model the motion of human by decomposing a long-range generation task in a hierarchical manner. On large-scale skeleton dataset, we show that the proposed method is able to synthesise long-range, diverse and plausible motion.

• Abstract: Generating diverse and natural human motion is one of the long-standing goals for creating intelligent characters in the animated world. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised method for generating long-range, diverse and plausible behaviors to achieve a specific goal location. Our proposed method learns to model the motion of human by decomposing a long-range generation task in a hierarchical manner. Given the starting and ending states, a memory bank is used to retrieve motion references as source material for short-range clip generation. We first propose to explicitly disentangle the provided motion material into style and content counterparts via bi-linear transformation modelling, where diverse synthesis is achieved by free-form combination of these two components. The short-range clips are then connected to form a long-range motion sequence. Without ground truth annotation, we propose a parameterized bi-directional interpolation scheme to guarantee the physical validity and visual naturalness of generated results. On large-scale skeleton dataset, we show that the proposed method is able to synthesise long-range, diverse and plausible motion, which is also generalizable to unseen motion data during testing. Moreover, we demonstrate the generated sequences are useful as subgoals for actual physical execution in the animated world.

  "Infinite Motion" is a novel approach that leverages long text to extended motion generation. Key innovation of our model is its ability to accept arbitrary lengths of text as input. We incorporate the timestamp design for text which allows precise editing of local segments within the generated sequences.

  This paper presents a novel approach to generating the 3D motion of a human interacting with a target object. Our framework first generates a set of milestones and then synthesizes the motion along them. The experiments on the NSM, COUCH, and SAMP datasets show that our approach outperforms previous methods by a large margin in both quality and diversity.

  We present a data-driven framework for unsupervised human motion that animates a target subject with the motion of a source subject. Our method is correspondence-free, requiring neither correspondences between the source and target shapes nor temporal correspondences between different frames of the source motion. This allows to animate a target shape with arbitrary sequences of humans in motion, possibly captured using 4D acquisition platforms or consumer devices.

Experiment results show that the proposed framework remarkably outperforms previous methods in terms of diversity and naturalness.
