Spatiotemporally Decoupled Autoregressive Diffusion Model for Human Motion Generation

Text-driven human motion synthesis has made substantial development with two core modules of motion representation and generative architecture. For representation, Vector Quantization (VQ)-based methods compress motion data into discrete tokens while latent-based models operate directly in continuous space. However, both of these representations exhibit significant limitations. VQ-based methods suffer from inherent information loss, which compromises the quality, diversity, and generalization of generated motions, while continuous representation on holistic whole-body motion hinders part-level flexibility. For architecture, diffusion and autoregressive diffusion models have demonstrated their superiority, yet the fine-grained controllability over individual body parts is also limited. Thus, we propose a unified spatiotemporally decoupled framework named DeMoDiff, which jointly redesigns representation and architecture. To enhance representation extraction capabilities and offer greater part-level controllability, we present a spatial-temporal VAE that encodes each body joint rather than compressing the whole-body motion into a single latent space. Then, we incorporate spatial-temporal masking and attention mechanisms into an autoregressive diffusion generator, achieving both generative capability and controllable editability. Extensive experiments on the HumanML3D and KIT-ML datasets demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction performance and compelling motion generation results. Moreover, our framework demonstrates strong temporal and spatial editing capabilities, further validating its effectiveness. Our project page: https://rex0191.github.io/DeMoDiff/

MRBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Human Motion-Text Retrieval

Human motion-text retrieval provides a rigorous means of assessing cross-modal alignment. Prevailing benchmarks are dominated by homogeneous indoor motions, imbalanced motion distributions, and oversimplified, repetitive texts, which hinder the reliable measurement of cross-domain and cross-granularity alignment. We thus introduce MRBench, a comprehensive motion-text retrieval benchmark featuring heterogeneous motions, broad and balanced category coverage, and reliable, discriminative, multi-granular descriptions. MRBench is constructed through a meticulously designed multi-stage data curation pipeline, which filters and balances candidates, verifies unambiguous semantic alignment, and generates motion-grounded descriptions at multiple granularities. The resulting benchmark contains 3,390 motions drawn from motion capture, in-the-wild videos, synthetic videos, and motion generative models, covering 118 fine-grained categories. Each motion is paired with concise, standard, and fine-grained descriptions, yielding 10,170 captions. Extensive evaluations of representative retrieval baselines on MRBench reveal a substantial cross-dataset generalization gap and pronounced sensitivity to query granularity. We propose a lightweight granularity-aware model anchored at a frozen standard-caption-aligned retrieval model. LLM-based concise and fine-grained captions provide pseudo-supervision for extra-branch granularity-specific motion extractors and text adapters. For inference, granularity-aware score fusion integrates global and adapted similarities while strictly maintaining score comparability across all description levels. The resulting model improves mixed-granularity retrieval without compromising standard-caption performance. We believe that our MRBench provides a comprehensive testbed for advancing motion-language alignment evaluation.

Enfold: Folding World Model Imagination into Predictive Representations for Ultra-Efficient Embodied Control

World generative models are typically used through what they produce: a rendered future, a video-conditioned action, or latent context computed by a costly generative branch. We argue that their more reusable asset is the computation that constructs a future. As a generator transforms a corrupted future into a coherent trajectory, its intermediate states organize appearance, spatial layout, and interaction across levels of abstraction. Can this future-generative computation be internalized in a representation inferred from the present alone? We present Enfold, which transfers this computation into a representation predicted from the current visual context and language instruction. During training, multi-level states exposed as the generator processes the observed future supervise a current-only encoder. The learned representation is fed back to condition future generation and is read by task heads without allowing task gradients to reshape the encoder. At deployment, action prediction no longer executes the generator. Across LIBERO, RoboTwin2.0, and real-robot tasks, Enfold supports strong control while reducing action latency by $3.7\times$ relative to Fast--WAM, Enfold-Flash reaches $10.1\times$. Representation analyses show that it suppresses nuisance variation and preferentially captures changes that emerge over longer horizons. When the current scene is altered by human intervention, both the generated continuation and the executed actions adapt, which is inconsistent with fixed trajectory replay. These results recast a world generator as a source of predictive control representations: its future need not be materialized at every step if its internal structure can be enfolded into the present.

Ultra-short lifetime isomer studies from photonuclear reactions using laser-driven ultra-intense {\gamma}-ray

Isomers, ubiquitous populations of relatively long-lived nuclear excited states, play a crucial role in nuclear physics. However, isomers with half-life times of several seconds or less barely had experimental cross section data due to the lack of a suitable measuring method. We report a method of online {\gamma} spectroscopy for ultra-short-lived isomers from photonuclear reactions using laser-driven ultra-intense {\gamma}-rays. The fastest time resolution can reach sub-ps level with {\gamma}-ray intensities >10^{19}/s ({\geqslant} 8 MeV). The ^{115}In({\gamma}, n)^{114m2}In reaction (T_{1/2} = 43.1 ms) was first measured in the high-energy region which shed light on the nuclear structure studies of In element. Simulations showed it would be an efficient way to study ^{229m}Th (T_{1/2} = 7 {\mu}s), which is believed to be the next generation of nuclear clock. This work offered a unique way of gaining insight into ultra-short lifetimes and promised an effective way to fill the gap in relevant experimental data.
