Interactive documents help readers engage with complex ideas through dynamic visualization, interactive animations, and exploratory interfaces. However, creating such documents remains costly, as it requires both domain expertise and web…
Emoticons are indispensable in online communications. With users' growing needs for more customized and expressive emoticons, recent messaging applications begin to support (limited) multi-modal emoticons: e.g., enhancing emoticons with…
The automatic movie dubbing model generates vivid speech from given scripts, replicating a speaker's timbre from a brief timbre prompt while ensuring lip-sync with the silent video. Existing approaches simulate a simplified workflow where…
This study focuses on emotion-sensitive spoken dialogue in human-machine speech interaction. With the advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), dialogue systems can handle multimodal data, including audio. Recent models have enhanced the…
User engagement is greatly enhanced by fully immersive multi-modal experiences that combine visual and auditory stimuli. Consequently, the next frontier in VR/AR technologies lies in immersive volumetric videos with complete scene capture,…
Recent progress in large language model (LLM) technology has significantly enhanced the interaction experience between humans and voice assistants (VAs). This project aims to explore a user's continuous interaction with LLM-based VA…
Emotional talking head synthesis aims to generate talking portrait videos with vivid expressions. Existing methods still exhibit limitations in control flexibility, motion naturalness, and expression quality. Moreover, currently available…
Emotion is a critical component of artificial social intelligence. However, while current methods excel in lip synchronization and image quality, they often fail to generate accurate and controllable emotional expressions while preserving…
Human emotional expression is inherently dynamic, complex, and fluid, characterized by smooth transitions in intensity throughout verbal communication. However, the modeling of such intensity fluctuations has been largely overlooked by…
Human communication involves a complex interplay of verbal and nonverbal signals, essential for conveying meaning and achieving interpersonal goals. To develop socially intelligent AI technologies, it is crucial to develop models that can…
Analyzing individual emotions during group conversation is crucial in developing intelligent agents capable of natural human-machine interaction. While reliable emotion recognition techniques depend on different modalities (text, audio,…
Existing human-robot interaction systems often lack mechanisms for sustained personalization and dynamic adaptation in multi-user environments, limiting their effectiveness in real-world deployments. We present HARMONI, a multimodal…
Voice user interfaces (VUIs) are rapidly transitioning from accessibility features to mainstream interaction modalities. Yet most operating systems' built-in voice commands remain underutilized despite possessing robust technical…
Interactions with virtual assistants typically start with a predefined trigger phrase followed by the user command. To make interactions with the assistant more intuitive, we explore whether it is feasible to drop the requirement that users…
Recently, emotional talking face generation has received considerable attention. However, existing methods only adopt one-hot coding, image, or audio as emotion conditions, thus lacking flexible control in practical applications and failing…
Despite advances in text and visual generation, creating coherent long-form audio narratives remains challenging. Existing frameworks often exhibit limitations such as mismatched character settings with voice performance, insufficient…
We demonstrate ViDA-MAN, a digital-human agent for multi-modal interaction, which offers realtime audio-visual responses to instant speech inquiries. Compared to traditional text or voice-based system, ViDA-MAN offers human-like…
Vision Language Action (VLA) models promise an open-vocabulary interface that can translate perceptual ambiguity into semantically grounded driving decisions, yet they still treat language as a static prior fixed at inference time. As a…
We introduce SEDTalker, an emotion-aware framework for speech-driven 3D facial animation that leverages frame-level speech emotion diarization to achieve fine-grained expressive control. Unlike prior approaches that rely on utterance-level…
Generating naturalistic and nuanced listener motions for extended interactions remains an open problem. Existing methods often rely on low-dimensional motion codes for facial behavior generation followed by photorealistic rendering,…
