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 …

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) are often designed to produce nonverbal behavior
to complement or enhance their verbal communication. One such form of the nonverbal …

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 …

Automatic synthesis of realistic co-speech gestures is an increasingly important yet
challenging task in artificial embodied agent creation. Previous systems mainly focus on …

For human-like agents, including virtual avatars and social robots, making proper gestures
while speaking is crucial in human-agent interaction. Co-speech gestures enhance …

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 ZeroEGGS, a neural network framework for speech‐driven gesture generation
with zero‐shot style control by example. This means style can be controlled via only a short …

Gestures and speech interact. They are linked in language production and perception, with
their interaction contributing to felicitous communication. The multifaceted nature of these …

How can we teach robots or virtual assistants to gesture naturally? Can we go further and
adapt the gesturing style to follow a specific speaker? Gestures that are naturally timed with …

We propose the first approach to synthesize the synchronous 3D conversational body and
hand gestures, as well as 3D face and head animations, of a virtual character from speech …
