EverAnimate: Minute-Scale Human Animation via Latent Flow Restoration

We propose EverAnimate, an efficient post-training method for long-horizon animated video generation that preserves visual quality and character identity. Long-form animation remains challenging because highly dynamic human motion must be synthesized against relatively static environments, making chunk-based generation prone to accumulated drift: (i) low-level quality drift, such as progressive degradation of static backgrounds, and (ii) high-level semantic drift, such as inconsistent character identity and view-dependent attributes. To address this issue, EverAnimate restores drifted flow trajectories by anchoring generation to a persistent latent context memory, consisting of two complementary mechanisms. (i) Persistent Latent Propagation maintains a context memory across chunks to propagate identity and motion in latent space while mitigating temporal forgetting. (ii) Restorative Flow Matching introduces an implicit restoration objective during sampling through velocity adjustment, improving within-chunk fidelity. With only lightweight LoRA tuning, EverAnimate outperforms state-of-the-art long-animation methods in both short- and long-horizon settings: at 10 seconds, it improves PSNR/SSIM by 8%/7% and reduces LPIPS/FID by 22%/11%; at 90 seconds, the gains increase to 15%/15% and 32%/27%, respectively.

Social-Mamba: Socially-Aware Trajectory Forecasting with State-Space Models

Human trajectory forecasting is crucial for safe navigation in crowded environments, requiring models that balance accuracy with computational efficiency. Efficiently modeling social interactions is key to performance in dense crowds. Yet, most recent methods rely on attention mechanisms, which are effective at capturing complex dependencies, but incur quadratic computational costs that scale poorly with the growing number of neighbors. Recently, Selective State-Space Models have provided a linear-time alternative; however, their inherently sequential design is misaligned with the unstructured and dynamic nature of social interactions. To address this challenge, we propose Social-Mamba, a forecasting architecture that reformulates social interactions as structured sequential processes. At its core is the Cycle Mamba block, a novel module that enables continuous bidirectional information flow. Social-Mamba organizes agents on an egocentric grid and introduces social triplet factorization, which decomposes interactions into temporal, egocentric, and goal-centric scans. These are dynamically integrated through a learnable social gate and global scan to generate accurate and efficient trajectory predictions. Extensive experiments on five trajectory forecasting benchmarks show that Social-Mamba achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while offering superior parameter efficiency and computational scalability. Furthermore, embedding Social-Mamba into a flow-matching framework further enhances both accuracy and efficiency, establishing it as a flexible and robust foundation for future trajectory forecasting research.
