arXiv:2608. 15110v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotional 3D talking head generation aims to synthesize expressive facial animations with accurate lip synchronization.
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.

arXiv:2602. 07106v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Omni-modal large language models (OLLMs) aim to unify multimodal understanding and generation, yet extending them to jointly produce speech and 3D facial animation remains largely unexplored despite its importance for natural human-computer interaction.
This paper introduces a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAEs) approach that generates realistic, controllable emotional facial expressions for virtual humans. Trained on a small dataset of 7,680 samples covering six basic emotions at low and high intensity, the model learns latent representations that preserve key expressive characteristics across intensity levels. The method enables animators to produce emotionally expressive virtual characters without actor performances or manual artistic effort.

arXiv:2608. 05218v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables fast, photorealistic talking-head rendering, yet accurate lip articulation remains elusive: mouth motion is often over-smoothed and may violate hard articulatory constraints such as bilabial closures, producing the notorious ``leaky mouth'' artifact.
