Modeling style and variation in human motion

Style and variation are two vital components of human motion: style differentiates between examples of the same behavior (slow walk vs. Fast walk) while variation differentiates between examples of the same style (vigorous vs. lackadaisical arm swing). In this talk, we will introduce a method to simultaneously model style and variation of motion data captured from different subjects performing the same behavior. Following this direction, we further investigate the subject-specific style in human motion and build a new model to generate subject-specific normal walking style.
