GaussianEmoTalker: Real-Time Emotional Talking Head Synthesis with Audio-Driven and Blendshape-Based 3D Gaussian Splatting

Audio-driven talking head synthesis has achieved impressive progress in lip synchronization and visual quality, yet generating expressive emotional avatars with controllable intensity remains challenging, especially under real-time constraints. In this paper, we present GaussianEmoTalker, an audio-driven framework for real-time emotional talking head synthesis based on 3D Gaussian Splatting.

Emo-DVS: A Multimodal Benchmark for Privacy-Aware Emotion Recognition with Event Cameras

The paper introduces Emo-DVS, a large-scale, multimodal dataset combining event camera, audio, and text data for emotion recognition, designed to mitigate privacy concerns associated with RGB cameras. It proposes the Information‑Guided Gated Fusion (IGF) framework, which pre‑trains an event encoder on the dataset’s FAU subset, adaptively gates modalities to reduce noise, and aligns cross‑modal representations via mutual information maximization. Experiments show that IGF outperforms existing methods on this challenging tri‑modal benchmark.
