SUMMARY:Controllable Group Choreography using Contrastive Diffusion
DESCRIPTION:Nhat Le and Tuong Do (AIOZ); Khoa Do (VNUHCM-University of Sci
 ence); Hien Nguyen, Erman Tjiputra, and Quang Tran (AIOZ); and Anh Nguyen 
 (University of Liverpool)\n\nMusic-driven group choreography poses a consi
 derable challenge but holds significant potential for a wide range of indu
 strial applications. The ability to generate synchronized and visually app
 ealing group dance motions that are aligned with music opens up opportunit
 ies in many fields such as entertainment, advertising, and virtual perform
 ances. However, most of the recent works are not able to generate high-fid
 elity long-term motions, or fail to enable controllable experience. In thi
 s work, we aim to address the demand for high-quality and customizable gro
 up dance generation by effectively governing the consistency and diversity
  of group choreographies. In particular, we utilize a diffusion-based gene
 rative approach to enable the synthesis of flexible dancers and long-term 
 group dances, while ensuring coherence to the input music. Ultimately, we 
 introduce a Group Contrastive Diffusion (GCD) strategy to enhance the conn
 ection between dancers and their group, presenting the ability to control 
 the consistency or diversity level of the synthesized group animation via 
 the classifier-guidance sampling technique. Through intensive experiments 
 and evaluation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in produc
 ing visually captivating and consistent group dance motions. The experimen
 tal results show the capability of our method to achieve the desired level
 s of consistency and diversity, while maintaining the overall quality of t
 he generated group choreography.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, En
