Monocular 3D hand and body mesh recovery often suffers from severe occlusion and ambiguity. Traditional deterministic methods typically regress a single optimal solution, leading to overconfident predictions. In this paper, we introduce an exploration--exploitation paradigm for ambiguous mesh recovery with multi-hypothesis learning and selection. Specifically, during exploration, based on our probabilistic formulation and entropy maximization, we propose a novel multi-hypothesis method referred to as MHE-Former. It is a Transformer-based multi-hypothesis framework, ensuring high training efficiency and label friendliness while generating plausible and diverse hypotheses. During exploitation, we propose Hypothesis Selection, a context-aware process for multiple predictions. Especially leveraging VLM's powerful visual understanding and reasoning capabilities, it allows users to choose the most plausible and desired estimate with additional evidence and natural language intent. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance in accuracy and diversity across multiple datasets. The user preference study further shows the practicality of our hypothesis selection process.
