Aligned and realistic latent diffusion for text-to-motion generation
Abstract
Text-to-motion generation aims to synthesize semantically consistent and naturally coherent motion sequences from natural language descriptions. Given the continuous nature of human motion, diffusion models operating in a continuous latent space offer inherent advantages over vector quantization-based methods, particularly in avoiding quantization errors and in modeling quality. However, existing diffusion models primarily rely on mean squared error loss. This stepwise regression paradigm often leads to 'over-smoothed' motion sequences and struggles to capture the subtle semantic nuances embedded in textual descriptions. To realize the potential for continuous diffusion generation, an enhanced latent-space diffusion framework designed to elevate generation capabilities across two dimensions, namely, distribution approximation and semantic alignment, is proposed. Specifically, a latent-space adversarial discriminator is incorporated. By applying decoupled adversarial supervision, this component mitigates the detail loss caused by mean regression, significantly enhancing the physical realism and dynamic sharpness. Concurrently, a latent-space contrastive alignment strategy is introduced during the denoising process that reinforces the correspondence of the generated motion sequences with the given textual inputs via explicit cross-modal constraints. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method effectively addresses the limitations of…
