TM2T is the ECCV 2022 reciprocal text-to-motion and motion-to-text method. The
Motius release contains the HumanML3D VQ tokenizer, motion-to-text Transformer,
vocabulary, statistics, and inference runtime. It does not import an original
repository checkout.

## Release Snapshot

| Item | Value |
| ---- | ----- |
| Released task | M2T |
| Motion representation | HumanML3D-263, 20 fps |
| Motion tokenizer | 1,024-code VQ tokenizer |
| Caption model | 4-layer encoder / 4-layer decoder Transformer |
| Decoding | Beam search, beam size 2 |
| Checkpoint | [`ZeyuLing/Motius-TM2T-HumanML3D`](https://huggingface.co/ZeyuLing/Motius-TM2T-HumanML3D) |
| Pipeline | `motius.pipelines.tm2t.TM2TPipeline` |

## Usage

```python
import numpy as np
from motius.pipelines.tm2t import TM2TPipeline

pipe = TM2TPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "ZeyuLing/Motius-TM2T-HumanML3D",
    bundle_kwargs={"device": "cuda"},
)
motion = np.load("sample.npy")  # denormalized HumanML3D-263
caption = pipe.infer_m2t([motion], lengths=[len(motion)])[0]
```

## M2T Evaluation

Full 4,400-sample evaluation follows the shared [HumanML3D M2T protocol](../tasks/m2t.md).
Results are published only after the complete prediction set and metric artifact
pass the population and sample-ID checks.

| Samples | BLEU-4 | ROUGE-L | CIDEr | BERT F1 | R@1 | R@2 | R@3 | Matching |
| ------: | -----: | ------: | ----: | -------: | --: | --: | --: | -------: |
| 4,400 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |

## Motion Representation

TM2T normalizes HumanML3D-263 features with its released training statistics.
The VQ encoder removes four contact dimensions, maps each clip to discrete
motion tokens, and the reciprocal Transformer translates those tokens to text.
