Quo Vadis, Motion Generation? From Large Language Models to Large Motion Models

Inspired by the recent success of LLMs, the field of human motion understanding has increasingly shifted towards the development of large motion models. Despite some progress, current state-of-the-art works remain far from achieving truly generalist models, largely due to the lack of large-scale, high-quality motion data. To address this, we present MotionBase, the first million-level motion generation benchmark, offering 15 times the data volume of the previous largest dataset, and featuring multimodal data with hierarchically detailed text descriptions. By leveraging this vast dataset, our large motion model demonstrates strong performance across a broad range of motions, including unseen ones. Through systematic investigation, we underscore the importance of scaling both data and model size, with synthetic data and pseudo labels playing a crucial role in mitigating data acquisition costs. Moreover, our research reveals the limitations of existing evaluation metrics, particularly in handling out-of-domain text instructions -- an issue that has long been overlooked. In addition to these, we introduce a novel 2D lookup-free approach for motion tokenization, which preserves motion information and expands codebook capacity, further enhancing the representative ability of large motion models. The release of MotionBase and the insights gained from this study are expected to pave the way for the development of more powerful and versatile motion generation models.

Single Image Unlearning: Efficient Machine Unlearning in Multimodal Large Language Models

Machine unlearning empowers individuals with the `right to be forgotten' by removing their private or sensitive information encoded in machine learning models. However, it remains uncertain whether MU can be effectively applied to Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), particularly in scenarios of forgetting the leaked visual data of concepts. To overcome the challenge, we propose an efficient method, Single Image Unlearning (SIU), to unlearn the visual recognition of a concept by fine-tuning a single associated image for few steps. SIU consists of two key aspects: (i) Constructing Multifaceted fine-tuning data. We introduce four targets, based on which we construct fine-tuning data for the concepts to be forgotten; (ii) Jointly training loss. To synchronously forget the visual recognition of concepts and preserve the utility of MLLMs, we fine-tune MLLMs through a novel Dual Masked KL-divergence Loss combined with Cross Entropy loss. Alongside our method, we establish MMUBench, a new benchmark for MU in MLLMs and introduce a collection of metrics for its evaluation. Experimental results on MMUBench show that SIU completely surpasses the performance of existing methods. Furthermore, we surprisingly find that SIU can avoid invasive membership inference attacks and jailbreak attacks. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to explore MU in MLLMs. We will release the code and benchmark in the near future.
