The GENEA Challenge 2026: A Large-Scale Disentangled Evaluation of Speech-Driven Gesture Generation on the Seamless Interaction Dataset
Rajmund Nagy, Silvia Arellano García, Hendric Voss +4
This preprint presents the results of the fourth GENEA Challenge, a large-scale human evaluation of five speech-driven gesture-generation systems trained by participating teams on…
Towards Reliable Human Evaluations in Gesture Generation: Insights from a Community-Driven State-of-the-Art Benchmark
Rajmund Nagy, Hendric Voss, Thanh Hoang-Minh +18
We review human evaluation practices in automatic, speech-driven 3D gesture generation and find a lack of standardisation and frequent use of flawed experimental setups. This leads…
ImaGGen: Zero-Shot Generation of Co-Speech Semantic Gestures Grounded in Language and Image Input
Hendric Voss, Stefan Kopp
Human communication combines speech with expressive nonverbal cues such as hand gestures that serve manifold communicative functions. Yet, current generative gesture generation app…
Conveying Meaning through Gestures: An Investigation into Semantic Co-Speech Gesture Generation
Hendric Voss, Lisa Michelle Bohnenkamp, Stefan Kopp
This study explores two frameworks for co-speech gesture generation, AQ-GT and its semantically-augmented variant AQ-GT-a, to evaluate their ability to convey meaning through gestu…
JAX-IK: Real-Time Inverse Kinematics for Generating Multi-Constrained Movements of Virtual Human Characters
Hendric Voss, Stefan Kopp
Generating accurate and realistic virtual human movements in real-time is of high importance for a variety of applications in computer graphics, interactive virtual environments, r…
Towards a GENEA Leaderboard -- an Extended, Living Benchmark for Evaluating and Advancing Conversational Motion Synthesis
Rajmund Nagy, Hendric Voss, Youngwoo Yoon +7
Current evaluation practices in speech-driven gesture generation lack standardisation and focus on aspects that are easy to measure over aspects that actually matter. This leads to…
Integrating Representational Gestures into Automatically Generated Embodied Explanations and its Effects on Understanding and Interaction Quality
Amelie Sophie Robrecht, Hendric Voss, Lisa Gottschalk +1
In human interaction, gestures serve various functions such as marking speech rhythm, highlighting key elements, and supplementing information. These gestures are also observed in…
Augmented Co-Speech Gesture Generation: Including Form and Meaning Features to Guide Learning-Based Gesture Synthesis
Hendric Voß, Stefan Kopp
Due to their significance in human communication, the automatic generation of co-speech gestures in artificial embodied agents has received a lot of attention. Although modern deep…
AQ-GT: a Temporally Aligned and Quantized GRU-Transformer for Co-Speech Gesture Synthesis
Hendric Voß, Stefan Kopp
The generation of realistic and contextually relevant co-speech gestures is a challenging yet increasingly important task in the creation of multimodal artificial agents. Prior met…
Addressing Data Scarcity in Multimodal User State Recognition by Combining Semi-Supervised and Supervised Learning
Hendric Voß, Heiko Wersing, Stefan Kopp
Detecting mental states of human users is crucial for the development of cooperative and intelligent robots, as it enables the robot to understand the user's intentions and desires…
