Abstract<\/b><\/h6>\n

The GENEA (Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents) Grand Challenge 2022 aims at bringing together researchers that use different methods for non-verbal-behaviour generation and evaluation, and hopes to stimulate the discussions on how to improve both the generation methods and the evaluation of the results.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge topic is speech-driven gesture generation. Participants are provided a large, common dataset of speech (audio+aligned text) and 3D motion to develop their systems, and then use these systems to generate motion on given test inputs. The generated motion clips are rendered onto a common virtual agent and evaluated for aspects such as motion quality and appropriateness in a crowdsourced user study. More details will be available when the dataset is released. You can refer to the previous challenge <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> (be aware that the challenge dataset is different from the previous one).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like pi\u00f1a coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
