The natural ecology of human language is face-to-face interaction comprising the exchange
of a plethora of multimodal signals. Trying to understand the psycholinguistic processing of …

Gestures that accompany speech are an essential part of natural and efficient embodied
human communication. The automatic generation of such co‐speech gestures is a long …

Animating virtual avatars to make co-speech gestures facilitates various applications in
human-machine interaction. The existing methods mainly rely on generative adversarial …

The automatic generation of stylized co-speech gestures has recently received increasing
attention. Previous systems typically allow style control via predefined text labels or example …

This work addresses the problem of generating 3D holistic body motions from human
speech. Given a speech recording, we synthesize sequences of 3D body poses, hand …

Diffusion models have experienced a surge of interest as highly expressive yet efficiently
trainable probabilistic models. We show that these models are an excellent fit for …

For human-like agents, including virtual avatars and social robots, making proper gestures
while speaking is crucial in human-agent interaction. Co-speech gestures enhance …

Generating speech-consistent body and gesture movements is a long-standing problem in
virtual avatar creation. Previous studies often synthesize pose movement in a holistic …

Objective To understand the impact of face coverings on hearing and communication.
