Abstract
HandX presents a comprehensive foundation for bimanual hand motion synthesis including a new dataset, annotation method, and evaluation metrics for dexterous motion generation.
AI-generated summary
Synthesizing human motion has advanced rapidly, yet realistic hand motion and bimanual interaction remain underexplored. Whole-body models often miss the fine-grained cues that drive dexterous behavior, finger articulation, contact timing, and inter-hand coordination, and existing resources lack high-fidelity bimanual sequences that capture nuanced finger dynamics and collaboration. To fill this gap, we present HandX, a unified foundation spanning data, annotation, and evaluation. We consolidate and filter existing datasets for quality, and collect a new motion-capture dataset targeting underrepresented bimanual interactions with detailed finger dynamics. For scalable annotation, we introduce a decoupled strategy that extracts representative motion features, e.g., contact events and finger flexion, and then leverages reasoning from large language models to produce fine-grained, semantically rich descriptions aligned with these features. Building on the resulting data and annotations, we benchmark diffusion and autoregressive models with versatile conditioning modes. Experiments demonstrate high-quality dexterous motion generation, supported by our newly proposed hand-focused metrics. We further observe clear scaling trends: larger models trained on larger, higher-quality datasets produce more semantically coherent bimanual motion. Our dataset is released to support future research.

<h2> Content generation </h2> <p>This is a static site generated with <a href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/" rel="noopener noreferrer">hugo</a> with the PaperMod theme. I wanted an easy to use static site generator. I considered <a href="https://jekyllrb.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jekyll</a> and believe it to be a good choice for static sites. There seemed to be slightly more themes I liked with hugo so I went with that. That's a pretty superficial choice but I also don't plan on hacking on the site generation itself so I was agnostic to the Go versus Ruby choice.</p> <h2> Domain hosting </h2> <p>This site uses <a href="https://porkbun.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">porkbun</a> for a domain host. I chose it not least because I do enjoy porkbuns. They also listed stat

Why Drug Toxicity Can’t Be Predicted in Isolation — Building EIRION with Graph Neural Networks
How we built a graph neural network that finally sees the whole play — not just the audition Every year, drugs that passed early safety tests go on to harm people in ways nobody predicted. Not because the chemistry was wrong. Not because the researchers were careless. But because we kept evaluating drugs the way a talent agent judges an actor from a solo audition tape. Isolated. Out of context. No script. No co-stars. No stage. In real theatre, a performance is never just about one actor. It depends on who they share the stage with, which scene they appear in, what the story demands at that moment. A brilliant performer in the wrong play, surrounded by the wrong cast, in the wrong context — can still wreck the whole production. That is exactly how drug toxicity works. And that is exactly t
