Our work "MotionPyramid: Controllable Motion Synthesis via Stylized Phase Manifolds" has been accepted at ACM SIGGRAPH / EG SCA

08 Jul 2026

MotionPyramid introduces stylized phase manifolds, a compact and interpretable latent representation that disentangles motion semantics, temporal dynamics, and style in an unsupervised, low-dimensional space. By using this representation as a structured bridge between text and motion, MotionPyramid enables fine-grained control over diffusion-based motion generation, producing high-quality, diverse motions with improved text-to-motion alignment. The paper has been accepted for presentation at the 25th ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA 2026), Barcelona, Spain, and is published in Computer Graphics Forum, with IF: 2.96

Our work "MultiAct: Text-to-Motion Generation from Composite Text via Tailored Attention Guidance" has been accepted for publication at SIGGRAPH 2026

01 Jul 2026

MultiAct is an inference-time framework that enhances pretrained text-to-motion models to better capture multiple simultaneous actions by adaptively boosting attention to underrepresented prompt components. Without requiring retraining, it improves semantic completeness and action coverage, achieving stronger performance on complex multi-action prompts across quantitative and qualitative evaluations. The paper has been accepted for publication at SIGGRAPH 2026.

Our work "MPACT: Mesoscopic Profiling and Abstraction of Crowd Trajectories" has been accepted for publication at Computer Graphics Forum

01 May 2025

MPACT is a framework that transforms unlabelled crowd data into controllable simulation parameters using image-based encoding and a parameter prediction network trained on synthetic image–profile pairs. It enables intuitive crowd authoring and behavior analysis, achieving high scores in believability, plausibility, and behavioral fidelity across evaluations and user studies. The paper has been accepted for publication at Computer Graphics Forum with Impact Factor 2.96.
