MUGEN framework unifies motion understanding and generation with continuous latents

Researchers have introduced MUGEN, a novel unified framework designed for efficient motion understanding and generation. Unlike previous methods that rely on discrete motion codebooks, MUGEN utilizes a single draw from continuous latent slots, eliminating quantization limitations and improving generation quality. This approach allows for a single adaptive-length autoencoder to compress motions of varying lengths, with language model-generated latents serving both text-to-motion generation and motion-to-text understanding tasks. MUGEN demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like HumanML3D and SnapMoGen across various metrics, including FID, retrieval precision, CIDEr, and BLEU@4, all while significantly reducing decoding costs.
