• Abstract: This study aims to improve the generation of 3D gestures by utilizing multimodal information from human speech. Previous studies have focused on incorporating additional modalities to enhance the quality of generated gestures. However, these methods perform poorly when certain modalities are missing during inference. To address this problem, we suggest using speech-derived multimodal priors to improve gesture generation. We introduce a novel method that separates priors from speech and employs multimodal priors as constraints for generating gestures. Our approach utilizes a chain-like modeling method to generate facial blendshapes, body movements, and hand gestures sequentially. Specifically, we incorporate rhythm cues derived from facial deformation and stylization prior based on speech emotions, into the process of generating gestures. By incorporating multimodal priors, our method improves the quality of generated gestures and eliminate the need for expensive setup preparation during inference. Extensive experiments and user studies confirm that our proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  Co-speech gestures are crucial non-verbal cues that enhance speech clarity and strides in human communication. We propose a novel method named HOP for co-speech gesture generation, capturing heterogeneous entanglement between gesture motion, audio rhythm, and text semantics. HOP achieves state-of-the-art offering more natural and expressive co-speech gesture generation.

  Cross-modal contrastive distillation has recently been explored for learning effective 3D representations.

We propose a new framework, namely CMCR, to address these shortcomings.

  We present a novel approach for synthesizing 3D facial motions from audio sequences using key motion embeddings. Our method integrates linguistic and data-driven priors through two modules: the linguistic-based key motion acquisition and the cross-modal motion completion. The latter extends key motions into a full sequence of 3D talking faces guided by audio features, improving temporal coherence and audio-visual consistency.
