Music-driven dance video generation aims to synthesize expressive human motion that is temporally aligned with music while maintaining high visual fidelity. Despite recent progress, existing methods still face two key limitations: the lack of large-scale, high-quality dance video datasets, and the absence of principled frameworks for integrating music as a complementary conditioning signal into Video Generation Foundation Models.
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.

The paper introduces an end‑to‑end framework for personalized audio‑driven facial motion that operates in real time without look‑ahead. It combines a causal multi‑resolution motion tokenizer, which captures both global temporal context and fine articulatory details, with a multi‑modal style retriever that pulls stylistic priors from arbitrary reference footage using ongoing audio and motion queries. This approach allows high‑fidelity, identity‑consistent animation from just a few casually recorded clips, outperforming existing methods in lip‑sync accuracy, identity consistency, and perceived realism while maintaining real‑time streaming constraints.
