MimicX: Policy-in-the-Loop Supervision Refinement for Video-Driven Humanoid Motion Tracking

Human videos provide rich motion targets for humanoid learning, yet visually plausible references can still produce persistent failures under physics-based execution. These failures reveal where training supervision should change. We present MimicX, a policy-in-the-loop framework that uses execution feedback to refine video-driven humanoid motion tracking. Starting from reconstructed and retargeted motion, MimicX localizes difficult transitions and affected body regions, then jointly adapts tracking objectives and the reset curriculum for policy continuation. Repeated rollout verification selects execution-priority improvements subject to tracking guards. Across four core video tasks, MimicX consistently improves tracking accuracy and Robust Execution Horizon relative to the Fixed Reference baseline. Task-averaged results show a 25.7% reduction in body-tracking error and a 255.6% increase in execution horizon. Additional video, motion-reference, and collision-scene studies evaluate the method beyond the core tasks, while MimicX-HLoop accelerates feedback through heterogeneous execution. Overall, MimicX turns policy failure into actionable supervision for deciding what to refine and which refinement to retain.

SG-Adapter: Enhancing Text-to-Image Generation with Scene Graph Guidance

Recent advancements in text-to-image generation have been propelled by the development of diffusion models and multi-modality learning. However, since text is typically represented sequentially in these models, it often falls short in providing accurate contextualization and structural control. So the generated images do not consistently align with human expectations, especially in complex scenarios involving multiple objects and relationships. In this paper, we introduce the Scene Graph Adapter(SG-Adapter), leveraging the structured representation of scene graphs to rectify inaccuracies in the original text embeddings. The SG-Adapter's explicit and non-fully connected graph representation greatly improves the fully connected, transformer-based text representations. This enhancement is particularly notable in maintaining precise correspondence in scenarios involving multiple relationships. To address the challenges posed by low-quality annotated datasets like Visual Genome, we have manually curated a highly clean, multi-relational scene graph-image paired dataset MultiRels. Furthermore, we design three metrics derived from GPT-4V to effectively and thoroughly measure the correspondence between images and scene graphs. Both qualitative and quantitative results validate the efficacy of our approach in controlling the correspondence in multiple relationships.
