Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Kneed Walker is a physics-based model derived from a planar biomechanical characterization of human locomotion. By controlling torques at the knees, hips and torso, the model captures a full range of walking motions with foot contact and balance. Constraints are used to properly handle ground collisions and joint limits. A prior density over walking motions is based on dynamics that are optimized for efficient cyclic gaits over a wide range of natural human walking speeds and step lengths, on different slopes. The generative model used for monocular tracking comprises the Kneed Walker prior, a 3D kinematic model constrained to be consistent with the underlying dynamics, and a simple measurement model in terms of appearance and optical flow. The tracker is applied to people walking with varying speeds, on hills, and with occlusion.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
