Accepted: Rank skeleton #bone names with xgboost

  • Status: accepted

Context and Problem Statement

Improve automatic #bone selection

Describe the proposed option and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Use xgboost to rank bones.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, or diagrams

  1. Investigate

Positive Consequences

  • We can guess the proper name.
  • Useful for the facial mapping problem?
  • Useful for the character generator slider recommendation problem?
  • Generate test data by moving the character
  • Inference requires only single pose inputs.

Negative Consequences

  • Starring at the abyss.

Option graveyard:

  • Option:

    • bpr from Quora

  • Rejection Reason:

    • Bpr from Quora is not used in production.

  • Option:

    • dlrm from facebook

  • Rejection Reason:

    • Too difficult to run

  • Option:

    • catboost

  • Rejection Reason:

    • Too difficult to run

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Not a few lines of code.

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

We need this to make the quality of life of creators better.
