Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of vision and graphics. Recently, I have been focusing on 3D human motion modeling and generation. Some papers are highlighted.

SMooDi: Stylized Motion Diffusion Model
Lei Zhong, Yiming Xie, Varun Jampani, Deqing Sun, Huaizu Jiang
ECCV 2024
paper / project / code

This paper introduces SMooDi, which enables stylized motion generation by incorporating style motion sequences into a text-conditioned human motion generation model.

OmniControl: Control Any Joint at Any Time for Human Motion Generation
Yiming Xie, Varun Jampani, Lei Zhong, Deqing Sun, Huaizu Jiang
ICLR 2024
paper / project / code

This paper introduces OmniControl, which incorporates flexible spatial control signals into a text-conditioned human motion generation model based on the diffusion process.
