• Authors: Anthony Bourached, Robert Gray, Ryan-Rhys Griffiths, Ashwani Jha, Parashkev Nachev
• Abstract summary: Models of human motion commonly focus either on trajectory prediction or action classification but rarely both. Here we propose a novel architecture based on hierarchical variational autoencoders and deep graph convolutional neural networks for generating a holistic model of action over multiple time-scales. We show this Hierarchical Graph-conational Varivolutional Autoencoder (HG-VAE) to be capable of generating coherent actions, detecting out-of-distribution data, and imputing missing data by gradient ascent on the model's posterior.

• Abstract: Models of human motion commonly focus either on trajectory prediction or action classification but rarely both. The marked heterogeneity and intricate compositionality of human motion render each task vulnerable to the data degradation and distributional shift common to real-world scenarios. A sufficiently expressive generative model of action could in theory enable data conditioning and distributional resilience within a unified framework applicable to both tasks. Here we propose a novel architecture based on hierarchical variational autoencoders and deep graph convolutional neural networks for generating a holistic model of action over multiple time-scales. We show this Hierarchical Graph-convolutional Variational Autoencoder (HG-VAE) to be capable of generating coherent actions, detecting out-of-distribution data, and imputing missing data by gradient ascent on the model's posterior. Trained and evaluated on H3.6M and the largest collection of open source human motion data, AMASS, we show HG-VAE can facilitate downstream discriminative learning better than baseline models.

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) represent a contemporary class of generative models with exceptional qualities. We build a novel generative model for link prediction using a dedicated design to decompose the likelihood estimation process via the Bayesian formula. Our proposed method presents numerous advantages: (1) transferability across datasets without retraining, (2) promising generalization on limited training data, and (3) robustness against graph adversarial attacks.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.
