TrustCLIP: Learning Private Visual Features via Adversarial Reconstruction

Nikos Athanasiou, Ilya A. Petrov, Angela Yao +7

Vision and vision-language models rely on high-level visual representations that are increasingly used across recognition, retrieval, and multimodal reasoning pipelines. However, r…

UniCon3R: Unified Contact-aware 4D Human-Scene Reconstruction from Monocular Video

Tanuj Sur, Shashank Tripathi, Nikos Athanasiou +4

We introduce UniCon3R, a unified feed-forward framework for online human-scene 4D reconstruction from monocular video. Current feed-forward human-scene reconstruction methods suffe…

FUSION: Full-Body Unified Motion Prior for Body and Hands via Diffusion

Enes Duran, Nikos Athanasiou, Muhammed Kocabas +2

Hands are central to interacting with our surroundings and conveying gestures, making their inclusion essential for full-body motion synthesis. Despite this, existing human motion…

Contact-Aware Refinement of Human Pose Pseudo-Ground Truth via Bioimpedance Sensing

Maria-Paola Forte, Nikos Athanasiou, Giulia Ballardini +3

Capturing accurate 3D human pose in the wild would provide valuable data for training pose estimation and motion generation methods. While video-based estimation approaches have be…

FormCoach: Lift Smarter, Not Harder

Xiaoye Zuo, Nikos Athanasiou, Ginger Delmas +3

Good form is the difference between strength and strain, yet for the fast-growing community of at-home fitness enthusiasts, expert feedback is often out of reach. FormCoach transfo…

MotionFix: Text-Driven 3D Human Motion Editing

Nikos Athanasiou, Alpár Cseke, Markos Diomataris +2

The focus of this paper is on 3D motion editing. Given a 3D human motion and a textual description of the desired modification, our goal is to generate an edited motion as describe…

WANDR: Intention-guided Human Motion Generation

Markos Diomataris, Nikos Athanasiou, Omid Taheri +3

Synthesizing natural human motions that enable a 3D human avatar to walk and reach for arbitrary goals in 3D space remains an unsolved problem with many applications. Existing meth…

RHOBIN Challenge: Reconstruction of Human Object Interaction

Xianghui Xie, Xi Wang, Nikos Athanasiou +17

Modeling the interaction between humans and objects has been an emerging research direction in recent years. Capturing human-object interaction is however a very challenging task d…

Emotional Speech-driven 3D Body Animation via Disentangled Latent Diffusion

Kiran Chhatre, Radek Daněček, Nikos Athanasiou +4

Existing methods for synthesizing 3D human gestures from speech have shown promising results, but they do not explicitly model the impact of emotions on the generated gestures. Ins…

SINC: Spatial Composition of 3D Human Motions for Simultaneous Action Generation

Nikos Athanasiou, Mathis Petrovich, Michael J. Black +1

Our goal is to synthesize 3D human motions given textual inputs describing simultaneous actions, for example 'waving hand' while 'walking' at the same time. We refer to generating…

TEACH: Temporal Action Composition for 3D Humans

Nikos Athanasiou, Mathis Petrovich, Michael J. Black +1

Given a series of natural language descriptions, our task is to generate 3D human motions that correspond semantically to the text, and follow the temporal order of the instruction…

Learning to Regress Bodies from Images using Differentiable Semantic Rendering

Sai Kumar Dwivedi, Nikos Athanasiou, Muhammed Kocabas +1

Learning to regress 3D human body shape and pose (e.g.~SMPL parameters) from monocular images typically exploits losses on 2D keypoints, silhouettes, and/or part-segmentation when…

BABEL: Bodies, Action and Behavior with English Labels

Abhinanda R. Punnakkal, Arjun Chandrasekaran, Nikos Athanasiou +2

Understanding the semantics of human movement -- the what, how and why of the movement -- is an important problem that requires datasets of human actions with semantic labels. Exis…

VIBE: Video Inference for Human Body Pose and Shape Estimation

Muhammed Kocabas, Nikos Athanasiou, Michael J. Black

Human motion is fundamental to understanding behavior. Despite progress on single-image 3D pose and shape estimation, existing video-based state-of-the-art methods fail to produce…

Cross-topic distributional semantic representations via unsupervised mappings

Eleftheria Briakou, Nikos Athanasiou, Alexandros Potamianos

In traditional Distributional Semantic Models (DSMs) the multiple senses of a polysemous word are conflated into a single vector space representation. In this work, we propose a DS…
