Despite their potential, however, designing a neura l network-based motion synthesis that enables flexible user interaction, f ine-grained controllability, and the support of new types of motions at re duced time and space consumption costs remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, a neural motion graph, that addresses the ch allenge by enabling scalability to new motions while using compact neural networks. Our approach represents each type of motion with a separate neur al node to reduce the cost of adding new motion types. In addition, design ing a separate neural node for each motion type enables task-specific cont rol strategies and has greater potential to achieve a high-quality synthes is of complex motions, such as the Mongolian dance. Furthermore, a single transition network, which acts as neural edges, is used to model the trans ition between two motion nodes. The transition network is designed with a lightweight control module to achieve a fine-grained response to user cont rol signals. Overall, the design choice makes the neural motion graph high ly controllable and scalable. In addition to being fully flexible to user interaction through high-level and fine-grained user-control signals, our experimental and subjective evaluation results demonstrate that our propos ed approach, neural motion graph, outperforms state-of-the-art human motio n synthesis methods in terms of the quality of controlled motion generatio n.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access\n\nSession Chair: Seungbae Bang ( Amazon, University of Toronto) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_486&sess=sess166 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
