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 …

We present a framework for modeling interactional communication in dyadic conversations:
given multimodal inputs of a speaker, we autoregressively output multiple possibilities of …

We present a framework for generating appropriate facial responses from a listener in
dyadic social interactions based on the speaker's words. Given an input transcription of the …

Automatic synthesis of realistic gestures promises to transform the fields of animation,
avatars and communicative agents. In off‐line applications, novel tools can alter the role of …

We present a framework for generating full-bodied photorealistic avatars that gesture
according to the conversational dynamics of a dyadic interaction. Given speech audio we …

Visual, behavioral and verbal cues for gender are often used in designing virtual agents to
take advantage of their stereotypical effects on the users. However, recent studies point …

To enable more natural face-to-face interactions, conversational agents need to adapt their
behavior to their interlocutors. One key aspect of this is generation of appropriate non-verbal …

This paper presents a novel framework for speech-driven gesture production, applicable to
virtual agents to enhance human-computer interaction. Specifically, we extend recent deep …

The human gestures occur spontaneously and usually they are aligned with speech, which
leads to a natural and expressive interaction. Speech-driven gesture generation is important …

Human-human communication is like a delicate dance where listeners and speakers
concurrently interact to maintain conversational dynamics. Hence, an effective model for …
