Mechanical Chameleons: Evaluating the effects of a social robot's non-verbal behavior on social influence
Patrik Jonell, Anna Deichler, Ilaria Torre +2
In this paper we present a pilot study which investigates how non-verbal behavior affects social influence in social robots. We also present a modular system which is capable of co…
Integrated Speech and Gesture Synthesis
Siyang Wang, Simon Alexanderson, Joakim Gustafson +3
Text-to-speech and co-speech gesture synthesis have until now been treated as separate areas by two different research communities, and applications merely stack the two technologi…
Neural HMMs are all you need (for high-quality attention-free TTS)
Shivam Mehta, Éva Székely, Jonas Beskow +1
Neural sequence-to-sequence TTS has achieved significantly better output quality than statistical speech synthesis using HMMs. However, neural TTS is generally not probabilistic an…
Transflower: probabilistic autoregressive dance generation with multimodal attention
Guillermo Valle-Pérez, Gustav Eje Henter, Jonas Beskow +3
Dance requires skillful composition of complex movements that follow rhythmic, tonal and timbral features of music. Formally, generating dance conditioned on a piece of music can b…
Generating coherent spontaneous speech and gesture from text
Simon Alexanderson, Éva Székely, Gustav Eje Henter +2
Embodied human communication encompasses both verbal (speech) and non-verbal information (e.g., gesture and head movements). Recent advances in machine learning have substantially…
