New framework KineMIC enhances few-shot action synthesis for HAR

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed KineMIC, a novel transfer learning framework designed to improve few-shot action synthesis for skeletal-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR). This method adapts text-to-motion diffusion models, which are typically trained for general artistic motion, to the specific needs of HAR by leveraging CLIP text embeddings for kinematic distillation. By using only 10 samples per action class from the NTU RGB+D 120 dataset, KineMIC significantly enhances motion coherence and provides a robust data augmentation source, leading to a 23.1% improvement in accuracy for HAR classifiers.

    Kinetic Mining in Context: Few-Shot Action Synthesis via Text-to-Motion Distillation

    arXiv:2512.11654v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The acquisition cost for large, annotated motion datasets remains a critical bottleneck for skeletal-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Although Text-to-Motion (T2M) generative models offer a compelling, scalable source of …
