ORACLE: Orchestrate NPC Daily Activities using Contrastive Learning with Transformer-CVAE

The integration of Non-player characters (NPCs) within digital environments has been increasingly recognized for its potential to augment user immersion and cognitive engagement. The sophisticated orchestration of their daily activities, reflecting the nuances of human daily routines, contributes significantly to the realism of digital environments. Nevertheless, conventional approaches often produce monotonous repetition, falling short of capturing the intricacies of real human activity plans. In response to this, we introduce ORACLE, a novel generative model for the synthesis of realistic indoor daily activity plans, ensuring NPCs' authentic presence in digital habitats. Exploiting the CASAS smart home dataset's 24-hour indoor activity sequences, ORACLE addresses challenges in the dataset, including its imbalanced sequential data, the scarcity of training samples, and the absence of pre-trained models encapsulating human daily activity patterns. ORACLE's training leverages the sequential data processing prowess of Transformers, the generative controllability of Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAE), and the discriminative refinement of contrastive learning. Our experimental results validate the superiority of generating NPC activity plans and the efficacy of our design strategies over existing methods.

Event-T2M: Event-level Conditioning for Complex Text-to-Motion Synthesis

Text-to-motion generation has advanced with diffusion models, yet existing systems often collapse complex multi-action prompts into a single embedding, leading to omissions, reordering, or unnatural transitions. In this work, we shift perspective by introducing a principled definition of an event as the smallest semantically self-contained action or state change in a text prompt that can be temporally aligned with a motion segment. Building on this definition, we propose Event-T2M, a diffusion-based framework that decomposes prompts into events, encodes each with a motion-aware retrieval model, and integrates them through event-based cross-attention in Conformer blocks. Existing benchmarks mix simple and multi-event prompts, making it unclear whether models that succeed on single actions generalize to multi-action cases. To address this, we construct HumanML3D-E, the first benchmark stratified by event count. Experiments on HumanML3D, KIT-ML, and HumanML3D-E show that Event-T2M matches state-of-the-art baselines on standard tests while outperforming them as event complexity increases. Human studies validate the plausibility of our event definition, the reliability of HumanML3D-E, and the superiority of Event-T2M in generating multi-event motions that preserve order and naturalness close to ground-truth. These results establish event-level conditioning as a generalizable principle for advancing text-to-motion generation beyond single-action prompts.
