📝 摘要(中文)
舞蹈作为表达情感的重要媒介,其生动生成仍面临挑战。近年来,扩散模型在多个领域展现出卓越的生成能力,尤其适用于人类动作生成。然而,现有的扩散模型往往以单向方式直接生成整个动作序列,缺乏对局部动作的双向增强。为此,本文提出了一种双向自回归扩散模型(BADM),通过双向编码器确保生成的舞蹈在前后方向上和谐一致。同时,构建局部信息解码器以增强生成舞蹈的平滑性。实验结果表明,该模型在音乐到舞蹈生成的基准测试中,性能优于现有的单向方法。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义:本文旨在解决现有舞蹈生成模型在生成过程中缺乏双向考虑和局部动作增强的问题,导致生成的舞蹈不够自然和流畅。
核心思路:提出双向自回归扩散模型(BADM),通过双向编码器确保生成舞蹈的和谐性,同时利用局部信息解码器增强生成舞蹈的平滑性。
技术框架:BADM的整体架构包括双向编码器、局部信息解码器和生成模块。双向编码器负责捕捉前后文信息,而局部信息解码器则专注于局部动作的生成与优化。
关键创新:最重要的创新在于引入双向编码器,使得生成的舞蹈在时间上更加连贯,并通过局部信息解码器提升动作的细腻度,这与现有单向生成方法形成鲜明对比。
关键设计:模型采用特定的损失函数来平衡全局和局部生成的质量,同时在网络结构上设计了适应性强的编码器和解码器,以便有效处理输入的音乐信息和舞蹈动作。

📄 摘要(原文)
Dance serves as a powerful medium for expressing human emotions, but the lifelike generation of dance is still a considerable challenge. Recently, diffusion models have showcased remarkable generative abilities across various domains. They hold promise for human motion generation due to their adaptable many-to-many nature. Nonetheless, current diffusion-based motion generation models often create entire motion sequences directly and unidirectionally, lacking focus on the motion with local and bidirectional enhancement. When choreographing high-quality dance movements, people need to take into account not only the musical context but also the nearby music-aligned dance motions. To authentically capture human behavior, we propose a Bidirectional Autoregressive Diffusion Model (BADM) for music-to-dance generation, where a bidirectional encoder is built to enforce that the generated dance is harmonious in both the forward and backward directions. To make the generated dance motion smoother, a local information decoder is built for local motion enhancement. The proposed framework is able to generate new motions based on the input conditions and nearby motions, which foresees individual motion slices iteratively and consolidates all predictions. To further refine the synchronicity between the generated dance and the beat, the beat information is incorporated as an input to generate better music-aligned dance movements. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to existing unidirectional approaches on the prominent benchmark for music-to-dance generation.
