Researchers have developed a new method for forecasting human motion in sports by jointly modeling an agent's global trajectory and 3D body pose. This approach utilizes a socio-temporal encoder that fuses trajectory and pose information at the input level and processes them through shared factorized attention. The model incorporates a per-joint loss reweighting scheme to emphasize dynamic joints and a frequency-domain trajectory smoothing term to enhance prediction accuracy. The researchers also addressed evaluation biases by adopting a non-overlapping protocol and a deterministic strategy for multi-future prediction, showing improved results on the WorldPose and 3DPW datasets, particularly in pose accuracy.
