The Surprising Effectiveness of LLMs in BGP Security: Mining An Unprecedented Amount of Incidents and Boosting Anomaly Detection

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security is critical to Internet infrastructure, yet progress in routing anomaly detection has been limited by the scarcity of publicly available incident datasets, which contain only 18 recorded cases. We observe that public operator mailing lists, e.g., NANOG and AusNOG, contain abundant yet largely untapped reports of real-world routing anomalies. To leverage this source, we develop an LLM-assisted extraction pipeline that identifies 244 candidate incidents from historical discussion threads. After expert validation, we curate a verified benchmark containing 232 confirmed routing anomaly events, making it 11.89X larger than existing dataset. Using this benchmark, we show that existing routing anomaly detection systems generalize poorly to diverse real-world incidents. At the same time, we find that some general-purpose LLMs without routing-specific adaptation can identify a subset of routing anomalies, but their performance varies across models and remains insufficient for reliable routing anomaly detection. Motivated by this observation, we design ROUTELLM, an LLM-based routing anomaly detector that integrates BGP-semantic-aware tokenization, routing-domain adaptation, and time-aware routing evidence retrieval. Experimental results show that ROUTELLM achieves 87.13% event-level accuracy and 94.65% message-level accuracy, outperforming the strongest baselines by 55.30% and 68.50%, respectively. We open-source the verified routing anomaly benchmark, fine-tuned model, and implementation code to support future research on BGP security.

WAM-TTT: Steering World-Action Models by Watching Human Play at Test Time

Steering robot foundation models (RFMs) toward new task variants or user-preferred behaviors remains challenging, often requiring additional robot demonstrations, task-specific fine-tuning, or long-context conditioning. We present WAM-TTT, a test-time training framework for steering world action models from raw human videos. Rather than treating human videos as trajectories to imitate, WAM-TTT absorbs them into a lightweight adaptive memory inside a frozen WAM through self-supervised video prediction. To make this memory useful for control, we introduce a meta-training stage that aligns human demonstrations with robot behaviors using paired human-robot data and a key--value memory reconstruction objective. At test time, only unlabeled human videos are required to adapt the memory, while the pretrained WAM remains frozen. This enables efficient and reusable steering without robot actions, human-side annotations, or task-specific fine-tuning, while preserving the generalization ability of the foundation model. Extensive experiments show that WAM-TTT consistently outperforms in-context human-video conditioning baselines across diverse manipulation tasks and generalization settings.

MuGen: Multi-Skill Generative Locomotion Controller for Humanoid Robots

This paper presents MuGen, a data-driven framework for learning and deploying multi-skill locomotion on humanoid robots. MuGen enables a robot to perform expressive motions like humans under the guidance of example motion sequences. To achieve this, we employ vector-quantized autoencoders (VQ-VAEs) trained with model-based reinforcement learning, resulting in a generative representation of locomotion that captures key patterns of human motion from hours of heterogeneous human performance data. We employ a teacher-student learning framework and develop a new policy distillation strategy to enable a deployable student policy learning this efficient latent representation. This policy allows the robot to track and mimic unseen human motions and further enables the robot to reuse the learned latent space for other tasks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework through a diverse set of motions and accurate execution.

ProAct: Harnessing Streaming Motion Generation and Agentic Reasoning for Real-Time Embodied Social Interaction

Real-time embodied social interaction places two equally demanding requirements on an agent: continuously generating fluent multimodal interaction behavior, and proactively reasoning over accumulated dialogue and visual context to decide when to take initiative. These requirements must both be satisfied under a strict latency budget, making them difficult to meet simultaneously. We present ProAct, a dual-system framework that manages these time-critical requirements by integrating a low-latency Behavioral System for streaming multimodal interaction with a slower Cognitive System that performs long-horizon social reasoning and produces high-level proactive intentions. The Cognitive System incorporates an efficient memory mechanism and a user-motivation prediction module to reason over accumulated dialogue and visual context and determine when proactive intervention is appropriate. The Behavioral System further includes an intention-conditioned streaming flow-matching motion generator with a disentangled ControlNet branch, which translates deliberative intentions into continuous non-verbal behavior without disrupting interaction fluency. We deploy ProAct on a physical humanoid robot and validate the framework through comprehensive experiments, including real-world user studies, motion-generation benchmarks, and evaluation on ProActBench, a new, targeted benchmark for evaluating proactive trigger detection and restraint in embodied interaction.

DexterCap: An Affordable and Automated System for Capturing Dexterous Hand-Object Manipulation

Capturing fine-grained hand-object interactions is challenging due to severe self-occlusion from closely spaced fingers and the subtlety of in-hand manipulation motions. Existing optical motion capture systems rely on expensive camera setups and extensive manual post-processing, while low-cost vision-based methods often suffer from reduced accuracy and reliability under occlusion. To address these challenges, we present DexterCap, a low-cost optical capture system for dexterous in-hand manipulation. DexterCap uses dense, character-coded marker patches to achieve robust tracking under severe self-occlusion, together with an automated reconstruction pipeline that requires minimal manual effort. With DexterCap, we introduce DexterHand, a dataset of fine-grained hand-object interactions covering diverse manipulation behaviors and objects, from simple primitives to complex articulated objects such as a Rubik's Cube. We release the dataset and code to support future research on dexterous hand-object interaction. Project website: https://pku-mocca.github.io/Dextercap-Page/

Lumine: An Open Recipe for Building Generalist Agents in 3D Open Worlds

We introduce Lumine, the first open recipe for developing generalist agents capable of completing hours-long complex missions in real time within challenging 3D open-world environments. Lumine adopts a human-like interaction paradigm that unifies perception, reasoning, and action in an end-to-end manner, powered by a vision-language model. It processes raw pixels at 5 Hz to produce precise 30 Hz keyboard-mouse actions and adaptively invokes reasoning only when necessary. Trained in Genshin Impact, Lumine successfully completes the entire five-hour Mondstadt main storyline on par with human-level efficiency and follows natural language instructions to perform a broad spectrum of tasks in both 3D open-world exploration and 2D GUI manipulation across collection, combat, puzzle-solving, and NPC interaction. In addition to its in-domain performance, Lumine demonstrates strong zero-shot cross-game generalization. Without any fine-tuning, it accomplishes 100-minute missions in Wuthering Waves and the full five-hour first chapter of Honkai: Star Rail. These promising results highlight Lumine's effectiveness across distinct worlds and interaction dynamics, marking a concrete step toward generalist agents in open-ended environments.

Towards Reliable Human Evaluations in Gesture Generation: Insights from a Community-Driven State-of-the-Art Benchmark

We review human evaluation practices in automatic, speech-driven 3D gesture generation and find a lack of standardisation and frequent use of flawed experimental setups. This leads to a situation where it is impossible to know how different methods compare, or what the state of the art is. In order to address common shortcomings of evaluation design, and to standardise future user studies in gesture-generation works, we introduce a detailed human evaluation protocol for the widely-used BEAT2 motion-capture dataset. Using this protocol, we conduct large-scale crowdsourced evaluation to rank six recent gesture-generation models -- each trained by its original authors -- across two key evaluation dimensions: motion realism and speech-gesture alignment. Our results show that 1) motion realism has become a saturated evaluation measure on the BEAT2 dataset, with older models performing on par with more recent approaches; 2) previous findings of high speech-gesture alignment do not hold up under rigorous evaluation, even for specialised models; and 3) the field must adopt disentangled assessments of motion quality and multimodal alignment for accurate benchmarking in order to make progress. To drive standardisation and enable new evaluation research, we release five hours of synthetic motion from the benchmarked models; over 750 rendered video stimuli from the user studies -- enabling new evaluations without requiring model reimplementation -- alongside our open-source rendering script, and 16,000 pairwise human preference votes collected for our benchmark.

Social Agent: Mastering Dyadic Nonverbal Behavior Generation via Conversational LLM Agents

We present Social Agent, a novel framework for synthesizing realistic and contextually appropriate co-speech nonverbal behaviors in dyadic conversations. In this framework, we develop an agentic system driven by a Large Language Model (LLM) to direct the conversation flow and determine appropriate interactive behaviors for both participants. Additionally, we propose a novel dual-person gesture generation model based on an auto-regressive diffusion model, which synthesizes coordinated motions from speech signals. The output of the agentic system is translated into high-level guidance for the gesture generator, resulting in realistic movement at both the behavioral and motion levels. Furthermore, the agentic system periodically examines the movements of interlocutors and infers their intentions, forming a continuous feedback loop that enables dynamic and responsive interactions between the two participants. User studies and quantitative evaluations show that our model significantly improves the quality of dyadic interactions, producing natural, synchronized nonverbal behaviors.

OpenDance: Multimodal Controllable 3D Dance Generation with Large-scale Internet Data

Music-driven 3D dance generation offers significant creative potential, yet practical applications demand versatile and multimodal control. As the highly dynamic and complex human motion covering various styles and genres, dance generation requires satisfying diverse conditions beyond just music (e.g., spatial trajectories, keyframe gestures, or style descriptions). However, the absence of a large-scale and richly annotated dataset severely hinders progress. In this paper, we build OpenDanceSet, an extensive human dance dataset comprising over 100 hours across 14 genres and 147 subjects. Each sample has rich annotations to facilitate robust cross-modal learning: 3D motion, paired music, 2D keypoints, trajectories, and expert-annotated text descriptions. Furthermore, we propose OpenDanceNet, a unified masked modeling framework for controllable dance generation, including a disentangled auto-encoder and a multimodal joint-prediction Transformer. OpenDanceNet supports generation conditioned on music and arbitrary combinations of text, keypoints, or trajectories. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our work achieves high-fidelity synthesis with strong diversity and realistic physical contacts, while also offering flexible control over spatial and stylistic conditions.

Graph Canvas for Controllable 3D Scene Generation

Spatial intelligence is foundational to AI systems that interact with the physical world, particularly in 3D scene generation and spatial comprehension. Current methodologies for 3D scene generation often rely heavily on predefined datasets, and struggle to adapt dynamically to changing spatial relationships. In this paper, we introduce GraphCanvas3D, a programmable, extensible, and adaptable framework for controllable 3D scene generation. Leveraging in-context learning, GraphCanvas3D enables dynamic adaptability without the need for retraining, supporting flexible and customizable scene creation. Our framework employs hierarchical, graph-driven scene descriptions, representing spatial elements as graph nodes and establishing coherent relationships among objects in 3D environments. Unlike conventional approaches, which are constrained in adaptability and often require predefined input masks or retraining for modifications, GraphCanvas3D allows for seamless object manipulation and scene adjustments on the fly. Additionally, GraphCanvas3D supports 4D scene generation, incorporating temporal dynamics to model changes over time. Experimental results and user studies demonstrate that GraphCanvas3D enhances usability, flexibility, and adaptability for scene generation. Our code and models are available on the project website: https://github.com/ILGLJ/Graph-Canvas.

Learning Uniformly Distributed Embedding Clusters of Stylistic Skills for Physically Simulated Characters

Learning natural and diverse behaviors from human motion datasets remains challenging in physics-based character control. Existing conditional adversarial models often suffer from tight and biased embedding distributions where embeddings from the same motion are closely grouped in a small area and shorter motions occupy even less space. Our empirical observations indicate this limits the representational capacity and diversity under each skill. An ideal latent space should be maximally packed by all motion's embedding clusters. In this paper, we propose a skill-conditioned controller that learns diverse skills with expressive variations. Our approach leverages the Neural Collapse phenomenon, a natural outcome of the classification-based encoder, to uniformly distributed cluster centers. We additionally propose a novel Embedding Expansion technique to form stylistic embedding clusters for diverse skills that are uniformly distributed on a hypersphere, maximizing the representational area occupied by each skill and minimizing unmapped regions. This maximally packed and uniformly distributed embedding space ensures that embeddings within the same cluster generate behaviors conforming to the characteristics of the corresponding motion clips, yet exhibiting noticeable variations within each cluster. Compared to existing methods, our controller not only generates high-quality, diverse motions covering the entire dataset but also achieves superior controllability, motion coverage, and diversity under each skill. Both qualitative and quantitative results confirm these traits, enabling our controller to be applied to a wide range of downstream tasks and serving as a cornerstone for diverse applications.

Semantic Gesticulator: Semantics-Aware Co-Speech Gesture Synthesis

In this work, we present Semantic Gesticulator, a novel framework designed to synthesize realistic gestures accompanying speech with strong semantic correspondence. Semantically meaningful gestures are crucial for effective non-verbal communication, but such gestures often fall within the long tail of the distribution of natural human motion. The sparsity of these movements makes it challenging for deep learning-based systems, trained on moderately sized datasets, to capture the relationship between the movements and the corresponding speech semantics. To address this challenge, we develop a generative retrieval framework based on a large language model. This framework efficiently retrieves suitable semantic gesture candidates from a motion library in response to the input speech. To construct this motion library, we summarize a comprehensive list of commonly used semantic gestures based on findings in linguistics, and we collect a high-quality motion dataset encompassing both body and hand movements. We also design a novel GPT-based model with strong generalization capabilities to audio, capable of generating high-quality gestures that match the rhythm of speech. Furthermore, we propose a semantic alignment mechanism to efficiently align the retrieved semantic gestures with the GPT's output, ensuring the naturalness of the final animation. Our system demonstrates robustness in generating gestures that are rhythmically coherent and semantically explicit, as evidenced by a comprehensive collection of examples. User studies confirm the quality and human-likeness of our results, and show that our system outperforms state-of-the-art systems in terms of semantic appropriateness by a clear margin.

BAGS: Building Animatable Gaussian Splatting from a Monocular Video with Diffusion Priors

Animatable 3D reconstruction has significant applications across various fields, primarily relying on artists' handcraft creation. Recently, some studies have successfully constructed animatable 3D models from monocular videos. However, these approaches require sufficient view coverage of the object within the input video and typically necessitate significant time and computational costs for training and rendering. This limitation restricts the practical applications. In this work, we propose a method to build animatable 3D Gaussian Splatting from monocular video with diffusion priors. The 3D Gaussian representations significantly accelerate the training and rendering process, and the diffusion priors allow the method to learn 3D models with limited viewpoints. We also present the rigid regularization to enhance the utilization of the priors. We perform an extensive evaluation across various real-world videos, demonstrating its superior performance compared to the current state-of-the-art methods.

Cinematographic Camera Diffusion Model

Designing effective camera trajectories in virtual 3D environments is a challenging task even for experienced animators. Despite an elaborate film grammar, forged through years of experience, that enables the specification of camera motions through cinematographic properties (framing, shots sizes, angles, motions), there are endless possibilities in deciding how to place and move cameras with characters. Dealing with these possibilities is part of the complexity of the problem. While numerous techniques have been proposed in the literature (optimization-based solving, encoding of empirical rules, learning from real examples,...), the results either lack variety or ease of control. In this paper, we propose a cinematographic camera diffusion model using a transformer-based architecture to handle temporality and exploit the stochasticity of diffusion models to generate diverse and qualitative trajectories conditioned by high-level textual descriptions. We extend the work by integrating keyframing constraints and the ability to blend naturally between motions using latent interpolation, in a way to augment the degree of control of the designers. We demonstrate the strengths of this text-to-camera motion approach through qualitative and quantitative experiments and gather feedback from professional artists.

MuscleVAE: Model-Based Controllers of Muscle-Actuated Characters

In this paper, we present a simulation and control framework for generating biomechanically plausible motion for muscle-actuated characters. We incorporate a fatigue dynamics model, the 3CC-r model, into the widely-adopted Hill-type muscle model to simulate the development and recovery of fatigue in muscles, which creates a natural evolution of motion style caused by the accumulation of fatigue from prolonged activities. To address the challenging problem of controlling a musculoskeletal system with high degrees of freedom, we propose a novel muscle-space control strategy based on PD control. Our simulation and control framework facilitates the training of a generative model for muscle-based motion control, which we refer to as MuscleVAE. By leveraging the variational autoencoders (VAEs), MuscleVAE is capable of learning a rich and flexible latent representation of skills from a large unstructured motion dataset, encoding not only motion features but also muscle control and fatigue properties. We demonstrate that the MuscleVAE model can be efficiently trained using a model-based approach, resulting in the production of high-fidelity motions and enabling a variety of downstream tasks.

A Spatial-Temporal Transformer based Framework For Human Pose Assessment And Correction in Education Scenarios

Human pose assessment and correction play a crucial role in applications across various fields, including computer vision, robotics, sports analysis, healthcare, and entertainment. In this paper, we propose a Spatial-Temporal Transformer based Framework (STTF) for human pose assessment and correction in education scenarios such as physical exercises and science experiment. The framework comprising skeletal tracking, pose estimation, posture assessment, and posture correction modules to educate students with professional, quick-to-fix feedback. We also create a pose correction method to provide corrective feedback in the form of visual aids. We test the framework with our own dataset. It comprises (a) new recordings of five exercises, (b) existing recordings found on the internet of the same exercises, and (c) corrective feedback on the recordings by professional athletes and teachers. Results show that our model can effectively measure and comment on the quality of students' actions. The STTF leverages the power of transformer models to capture spatial and temporal dependencies in human poses, enabling accurate assessment and effective correction of students' movements.

MoConVQ: Unified Physics-Based Motion Control via Scalable Discrete Representations

In this work, we present MoConVQ, a novel unified framework for physics-based motion control leveraging scalable discrete representations. Building upon vector quantized variational autoencoders (VQ-VAE) and model-based reinforcement learning, our approach effectively learns motion embeddings from a large, unstructured dataset spanning tens of hours of motion examples. The resultant motion representation not only captures diverse motion skills but also offers a robust and intuitive interface for various applications. We demonstrate the versatility of MoConVQ through several applications: universal tracking control from various motion sources, interactive character control with latent motion representations using supervised learning, physics-based motion generation from natural language descriptions using the GPT framework, and, most interestingly, seamless integration with large language models (LLMs) with in-context learning to tackle complex and abstract tasks.

Robust Dancer: Long-term 3D Dance Synthesis Using Unpaired Data

How to automatically synthesize natural-looking dance movements based on a piece of music is an incrementally popular yet challenging task. Most existing data-driven approaches require hard-to-get paired training data and fail to generate long sequences of motion due to error accumulation of autoregressive structure. We present a novel 3D dance synthesis system that only needs unpaired data for training and could generate realistic long-term motions at the same time. For the unpaired data training, we explore the disentanglement of beat and style, and propose a Transformer-based model free of reliance upon paired data. For the synthesis of long-term motions, we devise a new long-history attention strategy. It first queries the long-history embedding through an attention computation and then explicitly fuses this embedding into the generation pipeline via multimodal adaptation gate (MAG). Objective and subjective evaluations show that our results are comparable to strong baseline methods, despite not requiring paired training data, and are robust when inferring long-term music. To our best knowledge, we are the first to achieve unpaired data training - an ability that enables to alleviate data limitations effectively. Our code is released on https://github.com/BFeng14/RobustDancer
