The GENEA Challenge 2023: Full-body speech-driven gesture generation in a dyadic setting<\/p>\n
https:\/\/<\/span>genea-workshop.github.io\/2023\/challenge\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The state-of-the-art in co-speech gesture generation is difficult to assess, since every research group tends to use their own data, embodiment, and evaluation methodology. To better understand and compare methods for gesture generation and evaluation, we are continuing the GENEA (Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents) Challenge, wherein different gesture-generation approaches are evaluated side by side in a large user study. This 2023 challenge will be hosted as a Multimodal Grand Challenge at ICMI 2023 and is a follow-up to the first and second editions of the GENEA Challenge, arranged in 2020 and 2022.<\/p>\n This year the challenge will focus on gesture synthesis in a dyadic setting, i.e., gestures that depend not only on speech, but also on the behaviour of an interlocutor in a conversation. We invite researchers in academia and industry working on any form of corpus-based non-verbal behaviour generation and gesticulation to submit entries to the challenge, whether their method is driven by rules or machine learning. Participants are provided a large, common dataset of speech 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 motion quality and appropriateness (with respect to the associated speech and to the interlocutor behaviour) in a crowdsourced user study.<\/p>\n May 1 \u2013 challenge training dataset released to participants<\/span><\/p>\n June 7 \u2013 test input released to participants<\/span><\/p>\n June 14 \u2013 deadline for participants to submit generated motion, start of evaluation<\/span><\/p>\n July 3 \u2013 release of crowdsourced evaluation results to participants<\/span><\/p>\n July 14 \u2013 paper submission deadline<\/span><\/p>\n August 4 \u2013 paper notification<\/span><\/p>\n August 11 \u2013 camera-ready version<\/span><\/p>\n October 9\u201313 \u2013 challenge presentations at ICMI <\/span><\/span><\/a>genea-challenge@googlegroups.com<\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Taras Kucherenko, SEED \u2013 Electronic Arts, Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n Dr. Youngwoo Yoon, ETRI, South Korea<\/p>\n Rajmund Nagy, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n Jieyeon Woo, Sorbonne University, France<\/p>\n Dr. Gustav Eje Henter, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbstract<\/b><\/h6>\n
