Per-Stroke Temporal Control for Text-to-Motion via Action Units and Action-Detection Guidance

Euijun Jung, Youngki Lee

Text-to-motion models are competent at the action a prompt names but unreliable at when each stroke lands: four punches alternating left and right rarely return four separable strokes. We introduce typed temporal events called Action Units (AUs) that make the individual stroke -- its body track, action class, time window, and impact timing -- an explicit conditioning signal. We ground a frozen text-to-motion backbone on the AU set through a lightweight gated adapter injecting two streams (per-stroke tokens and a per-frame phase channel), and at inference close residual timing errors with a training-free classifier gradient from a frozen frame-level detector. We measure per-stroke control on StrokeBench, whose prompts specify count, ordering, track, and core-frame placement, paired with an audited stroke corpus. AU grounding markedly raises the rate of correctly placed single strokes over the strongest prior interface, at the best motion quality among text-, interval-, and frame-level baselines. The prompted core frame emerges as a further steerable axis.

Nandani Sharma, Varun Sharma, Dinesh Singh

Micro-expression recognition is challenging due to subtle and short-lived facial muscle movements. Existing methods rely heavily on apex-onset frames, overlook fine-grained inter-frame dynamics, and separately model spatial and temporal information, limiting generalization across…

Track the Noise, Move the World:3D-Grounded Motion-Consistent Noise for Controllable Video Generation

Long Vu, Tan Ngo, Animesh Karnewar, Amir Habibian, Binh-Son Hua, Hung Bui, et al.

Modern image-and-text-to-video diffusion models can synthesize highly realistic videos by iteratively denoising an initial Gaussian noise tensor conditioned on reference image and text inputs. However, existing approaches still lack precise and unified controllability over both o…
