Temporal and Interactive Modeling for Efficient Human-Human Motion Generation

Human-human motion generation is essential for understanding humans as social beings. Although several transformer-based methods have been proposed, they typically model each individual separately and overlook the causal relationships in temporal motion sequences. Furthermore, the attention mechanism in transformers exhibits quadratic computational complexity, significantly reducing their efficiency when processing long sequences. In this paper, we introduce TIM (Temporal and Interactive Modeling), an efficient and effective approach that presents the pioneering human-human motion generation model utilizing RWKV. Specifically, we first propose Causal Interactive Injection to leverage the temporal properties of motion sequences and avoid non-causal and cumbersome modeling. Then we present Role-Evolving Mixing to adjust to the ever-evolving roles throughout the interaction. Finally, to generate smoother and more rational motion, we design Localized Pattern Amplification to capture short-term motion patterns. Extensive experiments on InterHuman demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance. Notably, TIM has achieved state-of-the-art results using only 32% of InterGen's trainable parameters. Code will be available soon. Homepage: https://aigc-explorer.github.io/TIM-page/
