# Motion-SMD Data
Data release for **"Encoder-Free Human Motion Understanding via Structured Motion Descriptions"**.
- 🌐 **Project page:** https://yaozhang182.github.io/motion-smd/
- 💻 **Code:** https://github.com/yaozhang182/motion-smd
- 🤗 **LoRA adapters:** https://huggingface.co/zyyy12138/motion-smd-lora
- 📄 **Paper (arXiv):** https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.21668
---
## What's here
Four subdirectories, each with its own `README.md` describing files, provenance, and license:
| Subdir | Contents | Our contribution? |
|---|---|---|
| [`smd_texts/`](./smd_texts) | Pre-generated Structured Motion Description JSONs (17 variants × 3 datasets) | **Ours** — derived via our rule-based pipeline |
| [`babel_qa/`](./babel_qa) | BABEL-QA joints + original QA + our 10-option QA | Derived (joints/questions from IMoRe); **10-option QA is ours** |
| [`humman_qa/`](./humman_qa) | HuMMan-QA joints + original QA + our 10-option QA | Derived (joints/questions from IMoRe); **10-option QA is ours** |
| [`humanml3d/`](./humanml3d) | HumanML3D 22-joint sequences, texts, splits, Mean/Std | Subset mirror for reproducibility |
## Why this repo
The main repository (`github.com/yaozhang182/motion-smd`) ships only code.
Reproducing the paper requires ~5 GB of preprocessed data, including SMDs
computed from the three upstream datasets. This HF repo bundles all of that
so `git clone` + `huggingface-cli download` is enough to reach the training
step.
## Quick start
```bash
pip install huggingface_hub
# Option 1: download the entire dataset (~5 GB)
huggingface-cli download zyyy12138/motion-smd-data --repo-type dataset --local-dir motion-smd-data
# Option 2: download just one subdir (e.g., SMDs only, if you already have the
# upstream data locally)
huggingface-cli download zyyy12138/motion-smd-data --repo-type dataset \
--include "smd_texts/*" --local-dir motion-smd-data
```
Then symlink or move the subdirectories into the paths the code expects:
```
motion_smd/
├── data/babel_qa/{joints,questions,questions_10opt,angle_texts_v5*.json}
├── data/humman_qa/{joints,questions,questions_10opt,angle_texts_v5*.json}
└── captioning/data/humanml3d/{new_joints,texts,Mean.npy,Std.npy,train.txt,val.txt,test.txt,angle_texts_v5*.json}
```
See the root `README.md` of the [code repo](https://github.com/yaozhang182/motion-smd)
for the exact expected layout.
## License
This release combines several sources under different licenses:
- **Our derivatives** (`smd_texts/*`, `*_qa/questions_10opt/*`) are released
under the **MIT License**.
- **Upstream data** mirrored here (`*_qa/joints/`, `*_qa/questions/`,
`humanml3d/*`) retains its original license. See each subdir README.
If in doubt for a given file, consult the subdir README and the upstream
source linked from it.
## Citation
If you use this data, please cite the paper and the upstream sources listed
in each subdir.
