New model ZGL uses language to improve human motion prediction

Researchers have developed ZGL, a novel language-conditioned model for predicting human motion. This model integrates semantic guidance from motion descriptions into a strong motion prediction backbone. By using a vision-language model to generate captions for observed poses and then encoding these captions with CLIP-L, ZGL injects conditioning tokens into a Transformer architecture via cross-attention adapters with zero gates. This approach allows the model to learn language conditioning only when it improves prediction accuracy, demonstrating enhanced performance on the Human3.6M dataset and showing transferability to the CMUMocap benchmark.

    Zero-Gated Language-conditioned Human Motion Prediction

    arXiv:2606.29208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pose histories provide the core kinematic evidence for 3D human motion prediction, but they lack explicit high-level semantic guidance. This paper introduces ZGL, a lightweight language-conditioned predictor that uses captions of th…
