Human Motion Prediction (HMP) aims to predict future human poses at different moments according to observed past motion sequences. Previous approaches mainly treated the prediction of different temporal moments as a single prediction task and learned the predictions of varied moments simultaneously, which would encounter a main limitation: the learning of short-term predictions (referring to ``near-future'' prediction) could be hindered by the predictions of long-term (referring to ``far-future'' prediction) motions. In this paper, we develop a novel temporal continual learning framework called Continual Prior Compensation (CPC) to progressively train HMP models, in which we divide the prediction task of motions corresponding to varied temporal moments into several subtasks and train the model in a multi-stage manner. To mitigate the prior information forgetting in the progressive training, we further introduce a learnable random variable Prior Compensation Factor (PCF) to explicitly measure the prior knowledge loss. We theoretically show that the PCF can be efficiently learned together with the model parameters by minimizing a reasonable upper bound of the objective function. The proposed CPC is further enhanced to estimate the prior information loss for each subtask and a new framework called Continual Prior Compensation++ (CPC++) with Fine-Grained Prior Compensation Factor (FGPCF) is finally developed. Our CPC and CPC++ frameworks are quite flexible and can be easily integrated with different HMP backbone models and adapted to various datasets and applications. Extensive experiments on three HMP benchmark datasets using multiple SOTA HMP backbones (PGBIG, siMLPe, MotionMixer, and LTD) demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of our frameworks.

Multi-reward reinforcement learning offers a promising framework for aligning large language models (LLMs) with diverse objectives, but conflicting reward signals can induce ambiguous update directions and hinder stable optimization. Existing approaches address such conflicts through reward reweighting, gradient coordination, or rollout filtering, yet they primarily operate on per-response or group-level optimization signals and underexploit relational information among sampled responses. As a result, conflict-filtered rollouts may still contain useful supervision that is discarded during training. We propose Group Pareto-Dominance Policy Optimization (GPDPO), a multi-reward policy optimization method that recovers pairwise supervision from conflict-filtered rollouts. GPDPO identifies Pareto-dominance relations among sampled responses and converts them into auxiliary preference signals, which are jointly optimized with the original policy objective. This enables more effective reuse of existing rollouts without additional sampling or reward evaluation. Experiments on API-Bank across multiple model scales and reward configurations show that GPDPO consistently outperforms competitive multi-reward optimization baselines. Further analysis demonstrates that GPDPO reduces both group-relative and pairwise reward conflicts, supporting the effectiveness of exploiting relational supervision for multi-reward alignment. Code will be released.
