Human-object interaction detection (HOID) has traditionally been formulated as a supervised detection problem over predefined interaction categories. While such paradigms achieve strong performance on closed-set benchmarks, they fundamentally entangle interaction understanding with dataset-specific supervision, limiting their ability to generalize to open-world and compositional scenarios. Recent HOI detectors attempt to leverage MLLMs through prompting strategies to transfer interaction-specific knowledge. However, such prompt-based approaches primarily focus on extracting discriminative representations from pretrained models, while underexploring their inherent multimodal reasoning capabilities. As a result, they struggle to provide informative contextual reasoning for ambiguous and open-world interaction scenarios. In this work, we present AgentHOI, a training-free, agentic framework that transfers the generalist multimodal reasoning capabilities of foundation models to HOI detection in the wild. Instead of learning interaction classifiers, AgentHOI modularly orchestrates complementary vision foundation modules to perform open-ended semantic reasoning and spatial grounding in a coordinated manner. To address the challenges of incomplete interaction discovery and ambiguous localization in complex scenes, we introduce two key mechanisms: (1) Context-aware Multi-round Reasoning, which progressively refines interaction hypotheses to ensure exhaustive and compositional HOI discovery, and (2) Multifaceted Interaction Localization, which enhances grounding precision by generating instance-specific descriptions that integrate semantic, spatial, and appearance cues. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AgentHOI achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art supervised and weakly supervised methods in real-world settings, despite requiring no HOID data for training.

Music-driven dance generation aims to produce human motion that is both rhythmically synchronized and semantically consistent with music. While recent neural approaches have achieved impressive visual realism, they typically model motion as a continuous signal and neglect its compositional nature, making generated dances structurally incoherent and difficult to control. In this work, we introduce a structure-aware framework that models choreography as a sequence of atomic movements-semantically interpretable motion events that serve as the building blocks of dance. To construct this atomic movement vocabulary, we first segment large-scale dance data and cluster them into atomic movement groups. We then employ a large language model to semantically relabel and refine the clusters, yielding a set of interpretable and reusable atomic movements. Based on these atomic movement annotations, we design a two-stage generation framework that mirrors the human choreography process. In the atomic movement planning stage, the model predicts the type, duration, and timing of atomic movements conditioned on the input music, forming a symbolic dance allocation. In the completion stage, a transition-aware generator synthesizes smooth and stylistically coherent motion conditioned on the planned structure. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces dances with significantly improved structural coherence, rhythmic alignment, and perceptual naturalness compared to existing baselines, while providing enhanced interpretability and controllable editing through explicit structural representation.
