Des pite their potential, however, designing a neural network-based motion syn thesis that enables flexible user interaction, fine-grained controllabilit y, and the support of new types of motions at reduced time and space consu mption costs remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel approa ch, a neural motion graph, that addresses the challenge by enabling scalab ility to new motions while using compact neural networks. Our approach rep resents each type of motion with a separate neural node to reduce the cost of adding new motion types. In addition, designing a separate neural node for each motion type enables task-specific control strategies and has gre ater potential to achieve a high-quality synthesis of complex motions, suc h as the Mongolian dance. Furthermore, a single transition network, which acts as neural edges, is used to model the transition between two motion n odes. The transition network is designed with a lightweight control module to achieve a fine-grained response to user control signals. Overall, the design choice makes the neural motion graph highly controllable and scalab le. In addition to being fully flexible to user interaction through high-l evel and fine-grained user-control signals, our experimental and subjectiv e evaluation results demonstrate that our proposed approach, neural motion graph, outperforms state-of-the-art human motion synthesis methods in ter ms of the quality of controlled motion generation.\n\nRegistration Categor y: Full Access, Enhanced Access, Trade Exhibitor, Experience Hall Exhibito r URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_486&sess=sess209 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
