Researchers at Tsinghua University introduced HINT, an autoregressive diffusion-based framework for multi-human motion generation that employs a canonicalized latent space and hierarchical interaction modeling. This approach achieves state-of-the-art FID scores of 3.100 on InterHuman and 0.278 on InterX, producing more realistic and coherent motions than prior methods.

Key insights

• Disentangling individual motion patterns from global spatial relationships and relative positions via a canonicalized latent space is crucial for scalability and flexibility in multi-human generation.
• A hierarchical conditioning strategy, combining both fine-grained local context and overarching global semantic cues, is essential for maintaining long-term coherence and semantic alignment in autoregressive motion synthesis.
• Explicitly modeling relative rigid transformations and partner history within a local coordinate frame enables the diffusion model to effectively capture complex inter-person dependencies for realistic interactions.
