SeMoCo codec advances text-to-motion generation with semantic-first approach

Researchers have developed SeMoCo, a novel semantic-first motion codec designed to improve language-conditioned motion generation. Unlike previous methods that optimize for reconstruction, SeMoCo allocates capacity based on semantic roles, separating action-level meaning from fine-grained kinematic details. This approach involves a dual-axis motion generator that models semantic progression and refines kinematic tokens. The effectiveness of SeMoCo is demonstrated through its superior reconstruction accuracy and strong text-to-motion generation results, supported by the creation of the large-scale $\Omega$-MotionVerse dataset. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and semantically rich motion generation for applications like animation and robotics.

    SeMoCo: A Semantic-First Motion Codec for Motion Language Modeling

    arXiv:2608.24334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete motion representations have substantially advanced autoregressive text-to-motion generation. However, most motion tokenizers are optimized for reconstruction and do not explicitly allocate capacity according to semantic rol…
