A Comprehensive Review of Data-Driven Co-Speech Gesture Generation
Simbarashe Nyatsanga, Taras Kucherenko, Chaitanya Ahuja +2
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-standing p…
Multimodal analysis of the predictability of hand-gesture properties
Taras Kucherenko, Rajmund Nagy, Michael Neff +2
Embodied conversational agents benefit from being able to accompany their speech with gestures. Although many data-driven approaches to gesture generation have been proposed in rec…
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…
It's A Match! Gesture Generation Using Expressive Parameter Matching
Ylva Ferstl, Michael Neff, Rachel McDonnell
Automatic gesture generation from speech generally relies on implicit modelling of the nondeterministic speech-gesture relationship and can result in averaged motion lacking define…
Understanding the Predictability of Gesture Parameters from Speech and their Perceptual Importance
Ylva Ferstl, Michael Neff, Rachel McDonnell
Gesture behavior is a natural part of human conversation. Much work has focused on removing the need for tedious hand-animation to create embodied conversational agents by designin…
Storytelling Agents with Personality and Adaptivity
Zhichao Hu, Marilyn A. Walker, Michael Neff +1
We explore the expression of personality and adaptivity through the gestures of virtual agents in a storytelling task. We conduct two experiments using four different dialogic stor…
