DuoGesture is a co‑speech gesture generation model that separates gesture synthesis into a semantic stream and a beat stream, coordinated by a Semantic Variational Information Bottleneck that decides when semantic gestures override rhythmic motion. The semantic stream uses Motion‑Grounded Semantic Conditioning, replacing word embeddings with motion‑language representations to provide motion‑aligned semantic priors for rare gesture triggers. The beat stream is regularised by an Inertial Beat Prior, an anthropometry‑weighted arm‑chain module that reduces jitter and improves rhythmic consistency. Experiments show DuoGesture outperforms strong baselines and ablations confirm the complementary roles of semantic grounding, stochastic stream selection, and biomechanical regularisation.

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.

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.
