PAMI

Part Anchored Motion for Interaction generates full-body human-object interactions from text. It comes from Andreas Geiger's and Gerard Pons-Moll's groups at the Tübingen AI Center and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Body-part anchors vote for the object's motion, borrowing the idea from the Hough transform; PamiGen generates the interaction in a structured latent space and PamiRefiner keeps correcting contact geometry with long-range and short-range surface sensing. The authors report 14.5% higher contact recall than the previous best on the InterAct dataset, self-reported. Code on GitHub under MIT (repo created 29 September); weights not mentioned.
