Speech2Properties2Gestures: Gesture-Property Prediction as a Tool for Generating Representational Gestures from Speech
Taras Kucherenko, Rajmund Nagy, Patrik Jonell +3
We propose a new framework for gesture generation, aiming to allow data-driven approaches to produce more semantically rich gestures. Our approach first predicts whether to gesture…
A large, crowdsourced evaluation of gesture generation systems on common data: The GENEA Challenge 2020
Taras Kucherenko, Patrik Jonell, Youngwoo Yoon +2
Co-speech gestures, gestures that accompany speech, play an important role in human communication. Automatic co-speech gesture generation is thus a key enabling technology for embo…
HEMVIP: Human Evaluation of Multiple Videos in Parallel
Patrik Jonell, Youngwoo Yoon, Pieter Wolfert +2
In many research areas, for example motion and gesture generation, objective measures alone do not provide an accurate impression of key stimulus traits such as perceived quality o…
Can we trust online crowdworkers? Comparing online and offline participants in a preference test of virtual agents
Patrik Jonell, Taras Kucherenko, Ilaria Torre +1
Conducting user studies is a crucial component in many scientific fields. While some studies require participants to be physically present, other studies can be conducted both phys…
Gesticulator: A framework for semantically-aware speech-driven gesture generation
Taras Kucherenko, Patrik Jonell, Sanne van Waveren +4
During speech, people spontaneously gesticulate, which plays a key role in conveying information. Similarly, realistic co-speech gestures are crucial to enable natural and smooth i…
Machine Learning and Social Robotics for Detecting Early Signs of Dementia
Patrik Jonell, Joseph Mendelson, Thomas Storskog +12
This paper presents the EACare project, an ambitious multi-disciplinary collaboration with the aim to develop an embodied system, capable of carrying out neuropsychological tests t…
