Text-to-motion generation aims to generate 3D human motions that are tightly aligned with the input text while remaining physically plausible and rich in fine-grained detail. Although recent approaches can produce complex and natural movements, they usually operate at only one temporal scale, which limits both semantic alignment and temporal coherence. Inspired by the fact that complex motions are conceptualized hierarchically rather than at a single temporal scale in the human cognitive system, we propose \textit{MotionHiFlow}, a hierarchical flow matching framework to generate motion progressively by constructing flow path from low to high temporal scales. The flows at lower scales capture high-level semantics and coarse motion structures, while flows at higher scales refine temporal details. To link the flows across scales, we introduce a novel cross-scale transition process, ensuring continuity and preserving noise consistency. Furthermore, by integrating a Text-Motion Diffusion Transformer and a topology-aware Motion VAE, MotionHiFlow explicitly models structural dependencies among joints via joint-aware positional encoding and skeletal topology, enabling precise semantic alignment alongside fine-grained motion details. Extensive experiments on HumanML3D and KIT-ML benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, with ablation studies confirming the effectiveness of the hierarchical design and key components.

High-fidelity reconstruction of dynamic scenes is an important yet challenging problem. While recent 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) has demonstrated the ability to model temporal dynamics, it couples Gaussian motion and geometric attributes within a single covariance formulation, which limits its expressiveness for complex motions and often leads to visual artifacts. To address this, we propose VeGaS, a novel velocity-based 4D Gaussian Splatting framework that decouples Gaussian motion and geometry. Specifically, we introduce a Galilean shearing matrix that explicitly incorporates time-varying velocity to flexibly model complex non-linear motions, while strictly isolating the effects of Gaussian motion from the geometry-related conditional Gaussian covariance. Furthermore, a Geometric Deformation Network is introduced to refine Gaussian shapes and orientations using spatio-temporal context and velocity cues, enhancing temporal geometric modeling. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that VeGaS achieves state-of-the-art performance.

In-the-wild 3D Gaussian Splatting remains challenging due to transient distractors and illumination-induced cross-view appearance inconsistencies. Existing methods mainly rely on image-level masking to suppress unreliable supervision, but masking alone cannot fully eliminate residual occlusions or resolve illumination-induced inconsistencies, both of which can introduce conflicting cross-view gradients. These unresolved conflicts may destabilize Gaussian optimization and lead to visible reconstruction artifacts. We propose a conflict-aware 3DGS framework that addresses this problem from both image-space supervision and gradient-level optimization. Semantic Consistency-Guided Masking learns pixel-wise consistency scores to adaptively refine prior masks and suppress unreliable supervision before gradient formation. A dual-view Conflict-Aware Gradient Harmonization strategy further reconciles view-specific gradients by mutually rotating them into an orthogonal configuration, reducing negative directional interference across views. We also introduce conflict-aware densification and pruning to stabilize Gaussian growth and remove persistently conflicting primitives. Extensive experiments on standard in-the-wild benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art rendering quality under complex transient distractors and cross-view inconsistencies.
