The paper introduces a real‑time framework for generating co‑speech gestures for digital humans, coupling a streaming speech response module with a causal multimodal autoregressive gesture generator that uses only current speech and motion history. It also presents an offline data synthesis pipeline for virtual companion dialogues and a self‑evolving training loop that incorporates user feedback to continually adapt the model. Experiments show the system achieves a better latency‑quality trade‑off, stronger speech‑motion synchronization, and higher user preference than existing baselines.

HUG‑VIS is a unified multimodal benchmark for human‑centered visual intelligence, comprising 8,400 half‑body videos of 30 professional actors performing 280 emotion‑action prompts in Mandarin. The dataset provides synchronized video, audio, text, and alpha mattes for four tasks—human emotion recognition, video generation, voice cloning, and video matting—allowing evaluation of both open‑ and closed‑source models under a zero‑shot protocol. Results reveal that linguistic cues dominate emotion recognition, visual affect is weakest, and that automatic metrics and human judgments diverge in generation and cloning tasks, while motion‑related boundary fidelity remains a key challenge for matting.

InteractGesture is a model‑agnostic, inference‑time method that enables fine‑grained spatial control of individual joints in continuous streaming co‑speech gesture generation. It guides diffusion sampler latent estimates through a differentiable RVQ‑VAE decoder, backpropagating spatial control gradients to adjust motion latents during sampling. To address chunk‑wise dependency issues in streaming generation, the method introduces Progressive Chunk Guidance, a chunk‑window strategy that keeps an active set of editable chunk latents with staggered delays, allowing spatial constraints to propagate gradients backward across chunk boundaries and reducing boundary inconsistencies.

arXiv:2606. 30266v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motion-language agents must possess the bidirectional capability to both understand human movement (motion-to-text, M2T) and generate it from natural language (text-to-motion, T2M).

The paper introduces a Prior‑Guided Residual Flow Matching framework for 3D multi‑person motion prediction. It uses a Deterministic Coarse Prior to anchor kinematics and a Dynamic Cross‑Interaction mechanism to synchronize inter‑agent message passing during integration, thereby improving structural consistency and social context extraction. A decoupled joint‑motion architecture with bidirectional fusion further preserves fine‑grained kinematic coherence, achieving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on several datasets.
