Diverse Yet Consistent: Context-Guided Diffusion with Energy-Based Joint Refinement for Multi-Agent Motion Prediction

Deepgenerative models havebecomeapromisingapproach for human motion prediction due to their ability to capture multimodal distributions and represent diverse human be haviors. However, generating predictions that are both di verse and jointly consistent among interacting agents re mains challenging. In addition, most existing approaches are primarily evaluated using single-agent (marginal) met rics, which fail to fully reflect the joint dynamics of multi agent interactions. We propose a diffusion-based frame work that improves multi-agent motion prediction by lever aging rich contextual information from historical trajecto ries. This information is incorporated through a guidance mechanism to enhance the diversity and expressiveness of predicted motions. To further enforce interaction consis tency, we introduce an energy-based formulation that re fines the joint trajectory distribution while preserving the plausibility of individual trajectories. Extensive experi ments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms existing methods. No tably, our approach substantially improves both marginal (ADE/FDE) and joint (JADE/JFDE) metrics on ETH/UCY over strong marginal baselines. Compared with prior joint prediction methods, it delivers significant gains in marginal metrics while maintaining competitive joint performance.

When Identities Collapse: A Stress-Test Benchmark for Multi-Subject Personalization

Subject-driven text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in preserving single identities, yet their ability to compose multiple interacting subjects remains largely unexplored and highly challenging. Existing evaluation protocols typically rely on global CLIP metrics, which are insensitive to local identity collapse and fail to capture the severity of multi-subject entanglement. In this paper, we identify a pervasive "Illusion of Scalability" in current models: while they excel at synthesizing 2-4 subjects in simple layouts, they suffer from catastrophic identity collapse when scaled to 6-10 subjects or tasked with complex physical interactions. To systematically expose this failure mode, we construct a rigorous stress-test benchmark comprising 75 prompts distributed across varying subject counts and interaction difficulties (Neutral, Occlusion, Interaction). Furthermore, we demonstrate that standard CLIP-based metrics are fundamentally flawed for this task, as they often assign high scores to semantically correct but identity-collapsed images (e.g., generating generic clones). To address this, we introduce the Subject Collapse Rate (SCR), a novel evaluation metric grounded in DINOv2's structural priors, which strictly penalizes local attention leakage and homogenization. Our extensive evaluation of state-of-the-art models (MOSAIC, XVerse, PSR) reveals a precipitous drop in identity fidelity as scene complexity grows, with SCR approaching 100% at 10 subjects. We trace this collapse to the semantic shortcuts inherent in global attention routing, underscoring the urgent need for explicit physical disentanglement in future generative architectures.

Implicit Guidance and Explicit Representation of Semantic Information in Points Cloud: A Survey

Point clouds, a prominent method of 3D representation, are extensively utilized across industries such as autonomous driving, surveying, electricity, architecture, and gaming, and have been rigorously investigated for their accuracy and resilience. The extraction of semantic information from scenes enhances both human understanding and machine perception. By integrating semantic information from two-dimensional scenes with three-dimensional point clouds, researchers aim to improve the precision and efficiency of various tasks. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the diverse applications and recent advancements in the integration of semantic information within point clouds. We explore the dual roles of semantic information in point clouds, encompassing both implicit guidance and explicit representation, across traditional and emerging tasks. Additionally, we offer a comparative analysis of publicly available datasets tailored to specific tasks and present notable observations. In conclusion, we discuss several challenges and potential issues that may arise in the future when fully utilizing semantic information in point clouds, providing our perspectives on these obstacles.
