Conversational agents (CAs) are software-based systems designed to interact with humans
using natural language and have attracted considerable research interest in recent years …

Gestures that accompany speech are an essential part of natural and efficient embodied
human communication. The automatic generation of such co‐speech gestures is a long …

Animating virtual avatars to make co-speech gestures facilitates various applications in
human-machine interaction. The existing methods mainly rely on generative adversarial …

The automatic generation of stylized co-speech gestures has recently received increasing
attention. Previous systems typically allow style control via predefined text labels or example …

Generating speech-consistent body and gesture movements is a long-standing problem in
virtual avatar creation. Previous studies often synthesize pose movement in a holistic …

Human speech is often accompanied by hand and arm gestures. We present a method for
cross-modal translation from" in-the-wild" monologue speech of a single speaker to their …

We present a framework for modeling interactional communication in dyadic conversations:
given multimodal inputs of a speaker, we autoregressively output multiple possibilities of …

We present a framework for generating appropriate facial responses from a listener in
dyadic social interactions based on the speaker's words. Given an input transcription of the …

Gestures are non-verbal but important behaviors accompanying people's speech. While
previous methods are able to generate speech rhythm-synchronized gestures, the semantic …

We present a framework for generating full-bodied photorealistic avatars that gesture
according to the conversational dynamics of a dyadic interaction. Given speech audio we …
