Loopy Taming Audio-Driven Portrait Avatar with Long-Term Motion Dependency paper page: With the introduction of diffusion-based video generation techniques, audio-conditioned human video generation has recently achieved significant breakthroughs in both the naturalness of motion and the synthesis of portrait details. Due to the limited control of audio signals in driving human motion, existing methods often add auxiliary spatial signals to stabilize movements, which may compromise the naturalness and freedom of motion. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end audio-only conditioned video diffusion model named Loopy. Specifically, we designed an inter- and intra-clip temporal module and an audio-to-latents module, enabling the model to leverage long-term motion information from the data to learn natural motion patterns and improving audio-portrait movement correlation. This method removes the need for manually specified spatial motion templates used in existing methods to constrain motion during inference. Extensive experiments show that Loopy outperforms recent audio-driven portrait diffusion models, delivering more lifelike and high-quality results across various scenarios.

Excited to share our latest work on 🎧spatial audio-driven human motion generation. We aim to tackle a largely underexplored yet important problem of enabling virtual humans to move naturally in response to spatial audio—capturing not just what is heard, but also where the sound is coming from. To this end, we introduce the Spatial Audio-Driven Human Motion (SAM) dataset—the first comprehensive dataset featuring paired high-quality human motion and spatial audio recordings. For benchmarking, we develop a generative framework for human MOtion generation driven by SPAtial audio, termed MOSPA, which learns to synthesize realistic and diverse human motions conditioned on spatial audio input. We hope this research could provide a foundation for future research in spatial perception, virtual characters, and embodied AI. The dataset and model will be open-sourced soon. A big thank you to our intern, Shuyang Xu, for the wonderful collaboration! Congratulations, Shuyang!

DisCo: Disentangled Control for Referring Human Dance Generation in Real World paper page: Generative AI has made significant strides in computer vision, particularly in image/video synthesis conditioned on text descriptions. Despite the advancements, it remains challenging especially in the generation of human-centric content such as dance synthesis. Existing dance synthesis methods struggle with the gap between synthesized content and real-world dance scenarios. In this paper, we define a new problem setting: Referring Human Dance Generation, which focuses on real-world dance scenarios with three important properties: (i) Faithfulness: the synthesis should retain the appearance of both human subject foreground and background from the reference image, and precisely follow the target pose; (ii) Generalizability: the model should generalize to unseen human subjects, backgrounds, and poses; (iii) Compositionality: it should allow for composition of seen/unseen subjects, backgrounds, and poses from different sources. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel approach, DISCO, which includes a novel model architecture with disentangled control to improve the faithfulness and compositionality of dance synthesis, and an effective human attribute pre-training for better generalizability to unseen humans. Extensive qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that DISCO can generate high-quality human dance images and videos with diverse appearances and flexible motions.

Seamless Human Motion Composition with Blended Positional Encodings Conditional human motion generation is an important topic with many applications in virtual reality, gaming, and robotics. While prior works have focused on generating motion guided by text, music, or scenes, these typically result in isolated motions confined to short durations. Instead, we address the generation of long, continuous sequences guided by a series of varying textual descriptions. In this context, we introduce FlowMDM, the first diffusion-based model that generates seamless Human Motion Compositions (HMC) without any postprocessing or redundant denoising steps. For this, we introduce the Blended Positional Encodings, a technique that leverages both absolute and relative positional encodings in the denoising chain. More specifically, global motion coherence is recovered at the absolute stage, whereas smooth and realistic transitions are built at the relative stage. As a result, we achieve state-of-the-art results in terms of accuracy, realism, and smoothness on the Babel and HumanML3D datasets. FlowMDM excels when trained with only a single description per motion sequence thanks to its Pose-Centric Cross-ATtention, which makes it robust against varying text descriptions at inference time. Finally, to address the limitations of existing HMC metrics, we propose two new metrics: the Peak Jerk and the Area Under the Jerk, to detect abrupt transitions.

Multi-Track Timeline Control for Text-Driven 3D Human Motion Generation paper page: Recent advances in generative modeling have led to promising progress on synthesizing 3D human motion from text, with methods that can generate character animations from short prompts and specified durations. However, using a single text prompt as input lacks the fine-grained control needed by animators, such as composing multiple actions and defining precise durations for parts of the motion. To address this, we introduce the new problem of timeline control for text-driven motion synthesis, which provides an intuitive, yet fine-grained, input interface for users. Instead of a single prompt, users can specify a multi-track timeline of multiple prompts organized in temporal intervals that may overlap. This enables specifying the exact timings of each action and composing multiple actions in sequence or at overlapping intervals. To generate composite animations from a multi-track timeline, we propose a new test-time denoising method. This method can be integrated with any pre-trained motion diffusion model to synthesize realistic motions that accurately reflect the timeline. At every step of denoising, our method processes each timeline interval (text prompt) individually, subsequently aggregating the predictions with consideration for the specific body parts engaged in each action. Experimental comparisons and ablations validate that our method produces realistic motions that respect the semantics and timing of given text prompts.

Tencent presents GameGen-O Open-world Video Game Generation We introduce GameGen-O, the first diffusion transformer model tailored for the generation of open-world video games. This model facilitates high-quality, open-domain generation by simulating a wide array of game engine features, such as innovative characters, dynamic environments, complex actions, and diverse events. Additionally, it provides interactive controllability, thus allowing for the gameplay simulation. The development of GameGen-O involves a comprehensive data collection and processing effort from scratch. We collect and build the first Open-World Video Game Dataset (OGameData), amassed extensive data from over a hundred of next-generation open-world games, employing a proprietary data pipeline for efficient sorting, scoring, filtering, and decoupled captioning. This robust and extensive OGameData forms the foundation of our model's training process. GameGen-O undergoes a two-stage training process, consisting of foundation model pretraining and instruction tuning. In the first phase, the model is pre-trained on the OGameData via the text-to-video and video continuation, endowing GameGen-O with the capability for open-domain video game generation. In the second phase, the pre-trained model is frozen, and we fine-tuned using a trainable InstructNet, which enables the production of subsequent frames based on multimodal structural instructions. This whole training process imparts the model with the ability to generate and interactively control content. In summary, GameGen-O represents a notable initial step forward in the realm of open-world video game generation via generative models. It underscores the potential of generative models to serve as an alternative to rendering techniques, which can efficiently combine creative generation with interactive capabilities.

🚨 SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Paper Alert 🚨 ➡️Paper Title: WorldExplorer: Towards Generating Fully Navigable 3D Scenes 🌟Few pointers from the paper 🎯Generating 3D worlds from text is a highly anticipated goal in computer vision. Existing works are limited by the degree of exploration they allow inside of a scene, i.e., produce stretched-out and noisy artifacts when moving beyond central or panoramic perspectives. 🎯 To this end, authors of this paper proposed “WorldExplorer”, a novel method based on autoregressive video trajectory generation, which builds fully navigable 3D scenes with consistent visual quality across a wide range of viewpoints. 🎯They initialize their scenes by creating multi-view consistent images corresponding to a 360 degree panorama. 🎯Then, they expanded it by leveraging video diffusion models in an iterative scene generation pipeline. 🎯Concretely, they generated multiple videos along short, pre-defined trajectories, that explore the scene in depth, including motion around objects. 🎯Their novel scene memory conditions each video on the most relevant prior views, while a collision-detection mechanism prevents degenerate results, like moving into objects. 🎯Finally,they fuse all generated views into a unified 3D representation via 3D Gaussian Splatting optimization. 🎯Compared to prior approaches, WorldExplorer produces high-quality scenes that remain stable under large camera motion, enabling for the first time realistic and unrestricted exploration. 🎯They believe this marks a significant step toward generating immersive and truly explorable virtual 3D environments. 🏢Organization: TU München 🧙Paper Authors: Manuel-Andreas Schneider, Lukas Höllein , Matthias Niessner 📝 Read the Full Paper here: 🗂️ Project Page: 🧑‍💻 Code: 🎥 Be sure to watch the attached Technical Summary Video - Sound on 🔊🔊 Find this Valuable 💎 ? ♻️QT and teach your network something new Follow me 👣, naveen manwani , for the latest updates on Tech and AI-related news, insightful research papers, and exciting announcements. #SIGGRAPHAsia2025

I’m thrilled to announce that we just released GraspGen, a multi-year project we have been cooking at NVIDIA Robotics 🚀 GraspGen: A Diffusion-Based Framework for 6-DOF Grasping Grasping is a foundational challenge in robotics 🤖 — whether for industrial picking or general-purpose humanoids. VLA + real data collection is all the rage now but is expensive and scales poorly for this task. For every new gripper and/or scene, you’ll have to recollect the dataset in this paradigm for the best perf. 💡Key Idea: Since grasping is such a well-defined task in simulation - why can’t we just scale synthetic data generation and train a generative model for grasping? By embracing modularity and standardized grasp formats, we can make this a turnkey technology that works zero-shot for multiple settings. GraspGen is a modular framework for diffusion-based 6-DOF grasp generation that scales across embodiment types, observability conditions, clutter, task complexity. Key Features: ✅ Multi-embodiment support: suction, parallel-jaw, and multi-fingered grippers ✅ Generalization to partial + complete 3D point clouds ✅ Generalization to single-objects + cluttered scenes ✅ Modular design uses other robotics modules and foundation models (SAM2, cuRobo, FoundationStereo, FoundationPose). This allows GraspGen to focus on only one thing - grasp generation ✅ Training recipe: grasp discriminator is trained with On-Generator data from the diffusion model - so that it learns to correct the mistakes (if any) of the diffusion generator ✅ Real-time performance (~20 Hz) before any GPU acceleration; low memory footprint 📊 Results: • SOTA on the FetchBench [Han et al. CoRL 2024] benchmark • Zero-shot sim-to-real transfer on unknown objects and cluttered scenes • Dataset of 53M simulated grasps across 8K objects from Objaverse 📄 arXiv: 🌐 Website: 💻 Code: A huge thank you to everyone involved in this journey — excited to see what the community builds on top of it!

When I was 8 years old, my favorite thing in the world was making mixtapes for my Walkman from my big sister’s CDs. That evolved into Lego stop-motion videos, and later, I fell down the rabbit hole of editing Naruto anime clips to Evanescence & Linkin Park beats. Looking back, it’s obvious: Sound and Video were always the main drivers in my life. I think that obsession also led me to my true love: Motion Design. A huge shoutout to Kevin who showed me +10 years ago the world of Motion Design. And honestly, look at where we are now. Who would have thought that there would be such a massive hype around Motion Design and UI promo videos? From giants like Airbnb to the new generation of creators like sutoxoriginals. The visual standard in 2026 is insane. But there was always one part of the process that felt like a grind to me: Sound Design. I love the result, but I hated the process. I was spending 4-5 hours per project just searching for the right sound effects. "Key typing effect" "Mouse click" "Subtle Whoosh" and so on.. So, I decided to fix it. I sat down with a Dev friend and we spent the last few weekends building a native AI tool right inside After Effects. The concept is simple: SoundDesigner AI watches your video. It understands the vibe and exactly what’s happening and when its happening. It sees a clock ticking or a text appearing, and it generates the perfect sound for it in seconds, synced to the action in your timeline. I’ve been using it on my own projects for a few days now, and it’s wild. My sound design workflow went actually from 5 hours to 20 minutes. We are launching this in February (fingers crossed for the approval at aescripts+aeplugins) If you want to see where this goes and try it out yourself, drop me a DM

🚨 Longsnappers 🚨 When I first started snapping, it felt awkward and uncomfortable. My form was off, my timing was bad, and I was wildly inconsistent. On JV, I learned from our varsity snapper—he understood the basics, but he taught me a hitch in my motion that threw my snaps completely out of timing. Eventually, I heard about Rubio Long Snapping® and started driving up to Irvine every other week for group lessons. That’s where my development really took off and I began to grow into a consistent snapper. I know some of you might not have access to quality instruction or may have never been properly introduced to the fundamentals of long snapping. If that’s you (or your child), bookmark this post! Find a resource. Seek out coaching. It makes all the difference. I offer both in-person lessons here in San Diego and virtual lessons, and I’m passionate about helping the next generation master their craft, excel in high school, and earn opportunities at the next level. Drills inspired by: Rubio Long Snapping® #longsnapper #longsnapping

IN 1999 MIT FILMED A MATH LECTURE THAT QUIETLY BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY AI MODEL YOU'VE EVER USED AND ALMOST NO ONE WAS TAUGHT TO SEE IT THAT WAY 39 minutes from Gilbert Strang, who taught this at MIT for over 60 years -- the linear algebra course an entire generation of engineers and data scientists grew up on. -> The shift it creates: you stop seeing matrices as boring grids of numbers and start seeing them as the language of space, data, and motion itself. School drilled you to crunch matrices by hand and never told you why. Strang shows you what they actually mean. Every neural net, every embedding, every model you prompt is linear algebra running underneath. The math you skipped is the engine of the thing you use all day. Memorizing the steps was never the skill -> seeing what the numbers do is. This is where it finally clicks. Most people fear linear algebra and move on. The ones who watched this see straight into how AI actually works. Bookmark & Watch it today, this one's a legend ↓

AI video is quietly shifting from generation to direction. After testing Ray 3.2 on a restaurant launch concept, that became pretty obvious. I started with two static images: one exterior shot, one interior dining scene. A few minutes later, I had a cinematic sequence that actually felt connected. The biggest improvement isn't just realism. It's control. Most AI video workflows still look like this: prompt → generate → regenerate → regenerate again. You're mostly hoping the model understands what you want. Ray 3.2 feels different. Instead of generating isolated clips, you can guide how one scene evolves into the next. You can shape transitions, control camera movement, preserve visual consistency, and build sequences that feel intentionally directed. For a simple restaurant commercial, that makes a huge difference. The exterior naturally flows into the dining experience. The pacing feels deliberate. The motion feels cinematic. The story feels connected. And that's what stood out to me most. For the first time, AI video felt less like prompting and more like directing. Every frame, yours to direct.

Today, we're joined by Yejin Choi, professor and senior fellow at Stanford University University in the Computer Science Department and Stanford UniversityHAI. In this conversation, we explore Yejin’s recent work on making small language models reason more effectively. We discuss how high-quality, diverse data plays a central role in closing the intelligence gap between small and large models, and how combining synthetic data generation, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning can unlock stronger reasoning capabilities in smaller models. Yejin explains the risks of homogeneity in model outputs and mode collapse highlighted in her “Artificial Hivemind” paper, and its impacts on human creativity and knowledge. We also discuss her team's novel approaches, including reinforcement learning as a pre-training objective, where models are incentivized to “think” before predicting the next token, and "Prismatic Synthesis," a gradient-based method for generating diverse synthetic math data while filtering overrepresented examples. Additionally, we cover the societal implications of AI and the concept of pluralistic alignment—ensuring AI reflects the diverse norms and values of humanity. Finally, Yejin shares her mission to democratize AI beyond large organizations and offers her predictions for the coming year. 🗒️ For the full list of resources for this episode, visit the show notes page: 📖 CHAPTERS =============================== 00:00 - Introduction 04:44 - "Snowball effect" in AI investments 06:58 - Approaches to smaller models 08:58 - Importance of “better data” 14:07 - Imitation learning 18:24 - Artificial Hivemind paper 25:25 - AI risks 27:50 - Spectrum tuning 28:53 - Future of AI on humanity 33:08 - Reasoning in small models 34:58 - Prismatic Synthesis 48:20 - Reinforcement as a Pretraining Objective 55:04 - Pluralistic alignment 1:03:30 - Predictions
