Realistic lip synchronization is essential for the natural human-robot non-verbal interaction of humanoid robots. Motivated by this need, this paper presents a lip motion generation framework based on 3D dynamic viseme and coarticulation…
In this paper we introduce a new synchronisation task, Gesture-Sync: determining if a person's gestures are correlated with their speech or not. In comparison to Lip-Sync, Gesture-Sync is far more challenging as there is a far looser…
Audio-driven talking head generation is a significant and challenging task applicable to various fields such as virtual avatars, film production, and online conferences. However, the existing GAN-based models emphasize generating…

Audio-driven one-shot talking face generation methods are usually trained on video resources of various persons. However, their created videos often suffer unnatural mouth shapes and asynchronous lips because those methods struggle to learn…
Videos show continuous events, yet most $-$ if not all $-$ video synthesis frameworks treat them discretely in time. In this work, we think of videos of what they should be $-$ time-continuous signals, and extend the paradigm of neural…
In this paper, we formulate a novel task to synthesize speech in sync with a silent pre-recorded video, denoted as automatic voice over (AVO). Unlike traditional speech synthesis, AVO seeks to generate not only human-sounding speech, but…
Personalized image generation aims to integrate user-provided concepts into text-to-image models, enabling the generation of customized content based on a given prompt. Recent zero-shot approaches, particularly those leveraging diffusion…
