Fine-grained Human Motion Understanding with Language Models

Fine-grained Human Motion Understanding with Language Models introduces FiGMo, an LLM-based model that represents motion as timestamp‑grounded skeletal poses, enabling reasoning over action order and duration. The model uses a unified pose encoder for both 2D and 3D skeletons, optionally incorporating RGB context, and relies on newly constructed pose‑to‑motion supervision to address limited pose‑level grounding. Experiments demonstrate that timestamps improve temporal localization and preserve physical timing under subsampling, leading FiGMo to achieve state‑of‑the‑art results on motion question answering, dense motion captioning, and action recognition with detected poses.

ELMA: Benchmarking Anaphoric Compositions for Long-Term Text-to-Motion Generation

The paper introduces ELMA, a new episodic long‑term motion dataset designed to benchmark anaphoric compositions in text‑to‑motion generation. ELMA contains densely annotated 30‑second clips extracted from in‑the‑wild videos, preserving cross‑segment dependencies that current models struggle to handle. Fine‑tuning state‑of‑the‑art models on ELMA improves both global physical realism and semantic alignment, establishing a robust baseline for long‑term motion synthesis.

FlexPart: Text-Controlled Semantics-Aware 3D Part Segmentation at Flexible Granularity

FlexPart is a new framework that enables text‑controlled, semantics‑aware 3D mesh segmentation at any desired granularity. It introduces a holistic control prompt that combines part names with location and shape clauses, and uses a Vision‑Language Model pipeline to generate a large multi‑granularity dataset. The model produces a view‑independent part‑identity field in 3D space, and an inference‑time VLM planner can auto‑complete descriptive clauses from 2D renderings, allowing users to specify parts with ordinary words. FlexPart outperforms strong baselines by up to 22% in mIoU on its benchmark and improves selective segmentation by 35% over click‑driven methods.

MoRE: Motion-Regularized Encoding for Articulated 3D Generation

MoRE introduces a Motion-Regularized Encoding for generating articulated 3D objects from a single image. It encodes joint attributes as coordinate‑aligned joint lines with axis classification and Plücker moment coefficients, and couples attribute reconstruction to motion through a differentiable expectation over joint types and axis directions. Experiments on PartNet‑Mobility and ACD demonstrate improved part‑box agreement, articulated‑state geometry, visual similarity, and reduced joint prediction errors compared to prior methods.
