Agent-Centric Animal Pose Forecasting

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.19548v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding animal behavior at an algorithmic level -- what animals attend to, how they form internal models and plans, and how this maps to action -- remains a central challenge in neuroscience and ethology. Data-driven generative models offer a path toward this understanding. We introduce a framework for training agent-centric autoregressive models of animal behavior from tracked pose, applicable to single animals and to groups in which each agent senses and responds to its conspecifics. Our models input egocentric sensory observations and output egocentric movements, mirroring the biological constraint that animals observe and act on the world from their own reference frame. Social behavior emerges from agents independently sensing and r
