• Abstract summary: We introduce an innovative task focused on human communication, aiming to generate 3D holistic human motions for both speakers and listeners. We consider the real-time mutual influence between the speaker and the listener and propose a novel chain-like transformer-based auto-regressive model. Our approach demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on two benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce an innovative task focused on human communication, aiming to generate 3D holistic human motions for both speakers and listeners. Central to our approach is the incorporation of factorization to decouple audio features and the combination of textual semantic information, thereby facilitating the creation of more realistic and coordinated movements. We separately train VQ-VAEs with respect to the holistic motions of both speaker and listener. We consider the real-time mutual influence between the speaker and the listener and propose a novel chain-like transformer-based auto-regressive model specifically designed to characterize real-world communication scenarios effectively which can generate the motions of both the speaker and the listener simultaneously. These designs ensure that the results we generate are both coordinated and diverse. Our approach demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on two benchmark datasets. Furthermore, we introduce the HoCo holistic communication dataset, which is a valuable resource for future research. Our HoCo dataset and code will be released for research purposes upon acceptance.

  We propose a novel framework, Combo, for co-speech holistic 3D human motion generation. In particular, we identify that one fundamental challenge as the multiple-input-multiple-output nature of the generative model of interest. Combo is highly effective in generating high-quality motions but also efficient in transferring identity and emotion.

  We propose a novel agent-driven generative semantic communication framework based on reinforcement learning. In this work, we develop an agent-assisted semantic encoder with cross-modality capability, which can track the semantic changes, channel condition, to perform adaptive semantic extraction and sampling. The effectiveness of the designed models has been verified using the UA-DETRAC dataset, demonstrating the performance gains of the overall A-GSC framework.

We first develop a dual-branch diffusion model (HOI-DM) to generate both human and object motions conditioned on the input text. We also develop an affordance prediction diffusion model (APDM) to predict the contacting area between the human and object.
