MacDiff: Unified Skeleton Modeling with Masked Conditional Diffusion
Lehong Wu, Lilang Lin, Jiahang Zhang, Yiyang Ma, Jiaying Liu·September 16, 2024
Summary
Unified Skeleton Modeling with Masked Conditional Diffusion introduces MacDiff, a framework that applies random masking to patchified skeletons for dimensionality reduction. Theoretically, MacDiff combines contrastive learning and reconstruction, enhancing representation learning. It excels in self-supervised learning, achieving state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks. MacDiff also boosts action recognition with limited labeled data through diffusion-based data augmentation.
