AGORA is a new framework that extends 3D Gaussian Splatting with a generative adversarial network to produce high‑fidelity, animatable 3D head avatars. It introduces a lightweight FLAME‑conditioned deformation branch that predicts per‑Gaussian residuals for identity‑preserving, fine‑grained expression control, and a dual‑discriminator training scheme that enforces expression fidelity. The system achieves real‑time inference at 250 FPS on a single GPU and, for the first time, CPU‑only animatable 3DGS avatar synthesis at ~9 FPS.

Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon.
Face Video Restoration (FVR) aims to recover high-fidelity facial videos from degraded input while preserving identity and semantic consistency across frames. Existing methods often struggle to simultaneously address three key challenges: identity shift, viewpoint-entangled guidance, and perceptual realism.
