Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The creation of realistic humanoid characters remains challenging in artificial intelligence and computer graphics, requiring extensive manual modeling, skeletal setup, and animation. AI-driven approaches face hurdles due to scarce, costly 3D datasets that often lack diversity in body shapes, clothing styles, and motion data. Despite recent advances, existing systems frequently produce models with inaccurate proportions, poor geometry, and limited skeletal animation capability, restricting their use in real-time applications. This paper presents HUGMAN, an AI-driven framework that automates high-quality humanoid generation from natural language prompts. By bridging language input with 3D character output, HUGMAN produces animation-ready assets within seconds, eliminating hours of manual work. This approach enables scalable, diverse character generation and lays the groundwork for future research, offering a strong foundation for advancing generative methodologies.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
