Effective speech emotional representations play a key role in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) and Emotional Text-To-Speech (TTS) tasks. However, emotional speech samples are more difficult and expensive to acquire compared with Neutral…
Speech emotion recognition (SER) has drawn increasing attention for its applications in human-machine interaction. However, existing SER methods ignore the information gap between the pre-training speech recognition task and the downstream…
In this paper, we use a tensor model based on the Higher-Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) to discover semantic directions in Generative Adversarial Networks. This is achieved by first embedding a structured facial expression…
Expressions are fundamental to conveying human emotions. With the rapid advancement of AI-generated content (AIGC), realistic and expressive 3D facial animation has become increasingly crucial. Despite recent progress in speech-driven…
Speech-driven 3D facial animation seeks to produce lifelike facial expressions that are synchronized with the speech content and its emotional nuances, finding applications in various multimedia fields. However, previous methods often…
In this paper, we propose $\tau$GAN a tensor-based method for modeling the latent space of generative models. The objective is to identify semantic directions in latent space. To this end, we propose to fit a multilinear tensor model on a…
The objective of stylized speech-driven facial animation is to create animations that encapsulate specific emotional expressions. Existing methods often depend on pre-established emotional labels or facial expression templates, which may…
Text-to-speech (TTS) has shown great progress in recent years. However, most existing TTS systems offer only coarse and rigid emotion control, typically via discrete emotion labels or a carefully crafted and detailed emotional text prompt,…
Emotional talking face generation aims to animate a human face in given reference images and generate a talking video that matches the content and emotion of driving audio. However, existing methods neglect that reference images may have a…
Despite advances in deep learning, current state-of-the-art speech emotion recognition (SER) systems still have poor performance due to a lack of speech emotion datasets. This paper proposes augmenting SER systems with synthetic emotional…
Facial expression image editing requires fine-grained control to strictly preserve human identity and background while precisely manipulating expression. However, existing editing benchmarks primarily focus on general scenarios, lacking…
Editing facial expressions by only changing what we want is a long-standing research problem in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for image manipulation. Most of the existing methods that rely only on a global generator usually suffer…
Previous works on emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) follow a two-step paradigm, which can be summarized as first producing context-independent features via fine-tuning pretrained language models (PLMs) and then analyzing contextual…
Employing the latent space of pretrained generators has recently been shown to be an effective means for GAN-based face manipulation. The success of this approach heavily relies on the innate disentanglement of the latent space axes of the…
As the scale of generative models continues to grow, efficient reuse and adaptation of pre-trained models have become crucial considerations. In this work, we propose Voicebox Adapter, a novel approach that integrates fine-grained…
Despite the evolution of deep-learning-based visual-textual processing systems, precise multi-modal matching remains a challenging task. In this work, we tackle the task of cross-modal retrieval through image-sentence matching based on…
Different people have different facial expressions while speaking emotionally. A realistic facial animation system should consider such identity-specific speaking styles and facial idiosyncrasies to achieve high-degree of naturalness and…
The ability to edit facial expressions has a wide range of applications in computer graphics. The ideal facial expression editing algorithm needs to satisfy two important criteria. First, it should allow precise and targeted editing of…
Large audio-language models (LALMs) can produce expressive speech, yet reliable emotion control remains elusive: conversions often miss the target affect and may degrade linguistic fidelity through refusals, hallucinations, or paraphrase.…
Emotional text-to-speech synthesis (ETTS) has seen much progress in recent years. However, the generated voice is often not perceptually identifiable by its intended emotion category. To address this problem, we propose a new interactive…
