—In recent years, data-driven speech animation approaches have achieved significant successes in terms of animation quality. However, how to automatically evaluate the realism o...
We introduce a novel approach to modeling the dynamics of human facial motion induced by the action of speech for the purpose of synthesis. We represent the trajectories of a numbe...
We present a novel approach to speech-driven facial animation using a non-parametric switching state space model based on Gaussian processes. The model is an extension of the shar...
One of the first steps towards understanding natural multimodal language is aligning gesture and speech, so that the appropriate gestures ground referential pronouns in the speech...
The question how to integrate information from different sources in speech decoding is still only partially solved (layered architecture versus integrated search). We investigate t...
