• Authors: Mathis Petrovich, Michael J. Black, G\"ul Varol
• Abstract summary: We tackle the problem of action-conditioned generation of realistic and diverse human motion sequences. In contrast to methods that complete, or extend, motion sequences, this task does not require an initial pose or sequence. We learn an action-aware latent representation for human motions by training a generative variational autoencoder.

• Abstract: We tackle the problem of action-conditioned generation of realistic and diverse human motion sequences. In contrast to methods that complete, or extend, motion sequences, this task does not require an initial pose or sequence. Here we learn an action-aware latent representation for human motions by training a generative variational autoencoder (VAE). By sampling from this latent space and querying a certain duration through a series of positional encodings, we synthesize variable-length motion sequences conditioned on a categorical action. Specifically, we design a Transformer-based architecture, ACTOR, for encoding and decoding a sequence of parametric SMPL human body models estimated from action recognition datasets. We evaluate our approach on the NTU RGB+D, HumanAct12 and UESTC datasets and show improvements over the state of the art. Furthermore, we present two use cases: improving action recognition through adding our synthesized data to training, and motion denoising. Our code and models will be made available.

  Existing algorithms directly generate the full sequence which is expensive and prone to errors. We propose KeyMotion, that generates plausible human motion sequences corresponding to input text. We use a Variationalcoder (VAE) with Kullback-Leibler regularization to project the Autoencoder into a latent space. For the reverse diffusion, we propose a novel Parallel Skip Transformer that performs cross-modal attention between the design latents and text condition.

  We consider the problem of synthesizing multi-action human motion sequences of arbitrary lengths. Existing approaches have mastered motion sequence generation in single-action scenarios, but fail to generalize to multi-action and arbitrary-length sequences. We propose a novel efficient approach that leverages the richness of Recurrent Transformers and generative richness of conditional Variational Autoencoders.
