How does the integration of self-attention and Dynamic MLP contribute to enhancing motion modeling

自己注意機構とDynamic MLPの統合は、動きのモデリングを向上させるために重要な役割を果たします。自己注意機構は、トークンレベルで情報をキャプチャし、異なる表現空間からの情報を効率的に取り込むことができます。一方、Dynamic MLPはチャネルレベルで特徴融合を行い、異なるセマンティック情報を探索する柔軟性があります。これら2つのアーキテクチャが組み合わさることで、より豊かな情報伝達が可能となり、オブジェクトの時間的ダイナミクスを効果的に捉えることができます。
