Remember refusing to wear a sweater on a winter morning because you thought you knew better? Or complaining about the food your mother cooked, only to discover there was no alternative waiting for you? For many Indians, childhood was filled with small moments like these. The lesson rarely came through long lectures. Instead, it arrived through consequences. Today, social media has given this approach a new name: "FAFO parenting," short for "F**k Around and Find Out." While the phrase may be n... Read more ›

Camus’s novel A Happy Death and the television series Columbo both address, in their own way, the problem of existential guilt. The surprising similarity between the two stems from a shared source of inspiration: Dostoevsky’s novel Crime & Punishment. Existential guilt is thought to arise after the contemplation of human freedom and the painful […] Read more ›
Although text-to-motion generation has achieved strong progress in synthesizing realistic single-person motions from language, extending it to text-driven 3D human-human interaction (HHI) remains non-trivial, as HHI requires modeling the underlying \textbf{social structure} that governs phase progression, actor roles, and inter-actor coordination. In this paper, we formulate HHI generation as a social structure modeling and grounding problem: ... Read more ›
