Automatic synthesis of realistic co-speech gestures is an increasingly important yet
challenging task in artificial embodied agent creation. Previous systems mainly focus on …

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

Talking gesture generation is a practical yet challenging task which aims to synthesize
gestures in line with speech. Gestures with meaningful signs can better convey useful …

Humans use gestures as a means of non-verbal communication. Often accompanying
speech, these gestures have several purposes but in general, aim to convey an intended …

Generating vivid and diverse 3D co-speech gestures is crucial for various applications in
animating virtual avatars. While most existing methods can generate gestures from audio …

Co-speech gestures, gestures that accompany speech, play an important role in human
communication. Automatic co-speech gesture generation is thus a key enabling technology …

Artificial-intelligence (AI) powered conversational (CAI) agents have been growing in
popularity. Like human personality, CAI agent personality can also impact the relationship …

Predicting natural and diverse 3D hand gestures from the upper body dynamics is a
practical yet challenging task in virtual avatar creation. Previous works usually overlook the …

Personalizing an avatar for co-speech gesture generation from spoken language requires
learning the idiosyncrasies of a person's gesture style from a small amount of data. Previous …
