Diffusion Model For Human Motion Generation With Fine-Grained Text And Spatial Control Signals, Binze Jiang, Wenfeng Song, Xia Hou, Shuai Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To improve the accuracy, controllability, and realism of text-driven human motion generation, a novel method is proposed that integrates fine-grained textual semantics with spatial control signals. Within the diffusion model framework, both global text tokens and body-part-level local tokens are introduced. These are encoded using CLIP to obtain corresponding features, which are then fed into the motion diffusion model to enable fine control over different body parts. Spatial guidance is used to dynamically adjust joint positions during the diffusion denoising process, ensuring that the generated motion adheres to spatial constraints. Realism guidance is incorporated to enhance the naturalness and …

An immersive cognitive-motor integrated training environment was constructed to guide users in completing upper limb tasks. By recruiting subjects and synchronously collecting brain network data and Kinect upper limb motion parameters, multimodal assessment …

A Noncovalent Click-To-Release Strategy To Control Bond Cleavage And Prodrug Activation, Xuancheng Fu, Bowen Xu, Suman Maity, Michelle Wu, Luke G. Westbrook, James H. Henderson, Yaoying Wu, Katie A. Edwards, Atanu Acharya, Xiaoran Hu

Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship

Click-to-release chemistry enables bioorthogonal bond cleavage and controlled release via a click-type ligation reaction serving as both the trigger and means of localization. Extending this concept beyond covalent ligation reactions, we introduce a noncovalent click-to-release strategy based on cucurbit[7]uril-adamantane (CB-Ad) association. The CB host molecule forms a pre-assembled host-guest complex with a self-immolative guest (SIG) SIG1, where the masked SIG remains inert. Introduction of a high-affinity guest Ad initiates the CB-Ad noncovalent click reaction, displacing SIG1 and triggering its self-immolation and cargo release. As a proof-of-concept, we used a prototype prodrug SIG2 to demonstrate our strategy's potential for controlled therapeutic …

Defect Detection Method Based On Hierarchical Microscopic Feature Modeling And Simulation, Jing Zou, Xu Tan, Junji Mao, Haidong Gao, Jianrong Tan

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To address the challenge of detecting small and low-contrast defects in complex microscopic images, a defect method technology based on hierarchical microscopic feature modeling and simulation is proposed. The method is built on the RT-DETR (real-time detection transformer)framework to construct the HM-RTDETR (hierarchical microscopic RT-DETR) model. It maintains the global feature modeling ability of the Transformer and introduces a Dense O2O-Mosaic, a high-density one-to-one Mosaic augmentation strategy, to increase supervision density for small samples. A depthwise separable convolution (DWConv) module is used to enhance local detail extraction in microscopic textures, and a learnable PatchExpand module is applied …

Material Reconstruction From Single Image Combining Neural Networks With Singular Value Decomposition, Zhiqiang Li, Xukun Shen, Yong Hu, Xueyang Zhou, Yifan Chen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The tabulated BRDFs (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) can realistically reproduce the surface appearance of objects. However, due to their high-dimensional characteristics and the fact that a single planar image contains limited reflectance information and small differences, methods for estimating tabulated BRDFs typically require complex equipment or the capture of multiple images. To address this issue, a method is proposed for reconstructing material properties from a single image by combining neural networks with singular value decomposition. The singular value decomposition is introduced to compress the material into a lower-dimensional space. The task of solving the tabulated BRDFs is simplified to …

Full-Body Co-Speech Gesture Generation Based On Spatial-Temporal Enhanced Generation Model, Shuozhe Zhang, Wenfeng Song, Xia Hou, Shuai Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Full-body co-speech gesture generation significantly enhances the interactivity of virtual digital humans, requiring generated gestures to not only align accurately with speech but also demonstrate realistic full-body dynamics. To address limitations of existing methods—Transformer-based approaches often overlook temporal features of action sequences, while diffusion model-based ones inadequately capture spatial correlations between body parts, a full-body action generation method integrating diffusion models, Mamba, and attention mechanisms is proposed. We introduce the spatial self-attention-temporal state space model (STMamba Layer) as the core of denoising network to extract
inter-part spatial features and intra-part temporal features, thus enhancing action quality and diversity. …

Pdr-Stgcn: An Enhanced Stgcn With Multi-Scale Periodic Fusion And A Dynamic Relational Graph For Traffic Forecasting, Jie Hu, Bingbing Tang, Langsha Zhu, Yiting Li, Jianjun Hu, Guanci Yang

Faculty Publications

Accurate traffic flow prediction is a core component of intelligent transportation systems, supporting proactive traffic management, resource optimization, and sustainable urban mobility. However, urban traffic networks exhibit heterogeneous multi-scale periodic patterns and time-varying spatial interactions among road segments, which are not sufficiently captured by many existing spatio-temporal forecasting models. To address this limitation, this paper proposes PDR-STGCN (Periodicity-Aware Dynamic Relational Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network), an enhanced STGCN framework that jointly models multi-scale periodicity and dynamically evolving spatial dependencies for traffic flow prediction. Specifically, a periodicity-aware embedding module is designed to capture heterogeneous temporal cycles (e.g., daily and weekly patterns) and …

Dehpr: A Diffusion-Based End-To-End Hand Pose Reconstruction Network, Guoqiong Liao, Longjie Huang, Qingxin Li, Jiajun Zhang, Kefan Chen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Traditional methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers suffer from strong dependence on large-scale annotated data and limited generalization capability when dealing with hand pose reconstruction in complex scenarios. To address these issues, a diffusion-based end-to-end hand pose reconstruction network (DEHPR) is proposed. This method employs a diffusion model to directly generate and refine 3D predictions, thereby reducing spatial uncertainties inherent in 2D-to-3D modeling paradigms. By incorporating an end-to-end framework that reprojects multiple 3D candidate predictions to select optimal joint positions, the approach ultimately produces accurate hand pose estimations. Comprehensive evaluations conducted on HO3D V2, DexYCB, …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Crowd counting takes video surveillance data as input and can be applied to the construction of city digital twin platforms, virtual city modeling and smart city management, etc. However, when there are data domain differences between the application scenario and training scenario, counting performance often significantly decreases. A cross-domain crowd counting model based on frequency domain enhancement is proposed. To alleviate the distribution differences between domains, a frequency domain feature enhancement module and a domain invariant frequency domain adapter module are constructed: the former uses discrete cosine transform to extract key statistical features to enhance spatial representation ability, while …

Ethics Of Artificial Intelligence For Lawyers: I’M Sorry Dave, I’M Afraid I Can’T Do That: Competence, Confidentiality, And Communication, Cliff Mckinney

Arkansas Law Notes

In Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the spaceship’s onboard computer, HAL, calmly refuses to follow the astronaut’s command with the chilling words, “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” HAL’s response has become a cultural shorthand for what happens when human expectations collide with machine limitations. The line endures because it captures the chilling reality that machines may appear capable, but they cannot always be trusted to act in ways humans expect or need.

This installment explores three pillars of Formal Opinion 512: competence, confidentiality, and communication. These pillars focus on what lawyers need to understand about …
