Abstract
A two-stage approach for learning and generating an expressive text-to-motion animation from partially annotated datasets (T2M-X). In an example implementation, T2M-X builds a unified motion dataset based on partially annotated datasets. In the first stage, T2M-X uses the unified motion dataset to train three vector-quantized variational autoencoders (VQ-VAE) for body, hand, and face, respectively, and generate high-quality motion outputs. In the second stage, T2M-X uses the high-quality motion outputs to train a multi-indexing generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model that includes motion consistency loss and sequence length consistency for learning and then generating coordinated and expressive animations.
