Abstract The Gesture as Simulated Action (GSA) framework was proposed to explain how
gestures arise from embodied simulations of the motor and perceptual states that occur …

When people are engaged in social interaction, they can repeat aspects of each other's
communicative behavior, such as words or gestures. This kind of behavioral alignment has …

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 …

Human language is not the same as human speech. We use gestures and signs to
communicate alongside, or instead of, speaking. Yet gestures and speech are processed in …

Speakers use spontaneous hand gestures as they speak and think. These gestures serve
many functions for speakers who produce them as well as for listeners who observe them …

How does communicative efficiency shape language use? We approach this question by
studying it at the level of the dyad, and in terms of multimodal utterances. We investigate …

Generating vivid and diverse 3D co-speech gestures is crucial for various applications in
animating virtual avatars. While most existing methods can generate gestures from audio …

Humans communicate using language, but they also communicate using gesture–
spontaneous movements of the hands and body that universally accompany speech …
