In this paper, we introduce the DiffuseStyleGesture+, our solution for the Generation and
Evaluation of Non-verbal Behavior for Embodied Agents (GENEA) Challenge 2023, which …

This paper describes a system developed for the GENEA (Generation and Evaluation of Non-
verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents) Challenge 2023. Our solution builds on an existing …

Current talking avatars mostly generate co-speech gestures based on audio and text of the
utterance, without considering the non-speaking motion of the speaker. Furthermore …

This article reports on the second GENEA Challenge to benchmark data-driven automatic co-
speech gesture generation. Participating teams used the same speech and motion dataset …

Co-speech gestures if presented in the lively form of videos can achieve superior visual
effects in human-machine interaction. While previous works mostly generate structural …

This paper proposes MotionScript, a motion-to-text conversion algorithm and natural
language representation for human body motions. MotionScript aims to describe movements …

This paper describes the DiffuGesture entry to the GENEA Challenge 2023. In this paper, we
utilize conditional diffusion models to formulate the gesture generation problem. The …

As text-to-speech technologies achieve remarkable naturalness in read-aloud tasks, there is
growing interest in multimodal synthesis of verbal and non-verbal communicative behaviour …

Although humans engaged in face-to-face conversation simultaneously communicate both
verbally and non-verbally methods for joint and unified synthesis of speech audio and co …

Recent research in affective robots has recognized their potential in supporting human well-
being. Due to rapidly developing affective and artificial intelligence technologies, this field of …
