HumanSkill-4D: Training-Free Language Querying of Animatable Gaussian Avatars in Space and Time

We introduce avatar referring segmentation, which selects regions of animatable Gaussian avatars from language queries.

Key points

  • A query can also specify a pose or motion to select matching intervals.
  • We address these challenges with HumanSkill-4D, a training-free framework that shares a multimodal large language model (MLLM) and geometric operators across avatars.
  • For each avatar, a semantic memory links body-part and garment categories to persistent Gaussian regions and appearance descriptions.
  • To evaluate this task, we introduce three human-annotated benchmarks and show that HumanSkill-4D outperforms the baselines in part segmentation and 3D and 4D referring segmentation, with compact memories and only minutes of setup per avatar.
