StreamTalk framework generates real-time co-speech gestures with improved accuracy

Researchers have developed StreamTalk, a novel framework for generating realistic co-speech gestures in real-time. Unlike previous open-loop methods that suffer from accumulated drift over long sequences, StreamTalk employs a closed-loop system with a generate-retrieve-refine cycle. This approach uses a key pose as an anchor to limit drift and improve trajectory accuracy. The framework also incorporates techniques like Stochastic Anchor Masking and a part-aware DiT to enhance motion recovery and reduce interference between different motion streams, achieving state-of-the-art results on the BEAT2 dataset.

    StreamTalk: Streaming Co-Speech Gesture Generation with Key-Pose Anchoring

    arXiv:2608.01643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-time co-speech gesture generation must produce 3D motion clip by clip as speech arrives. Existing streaming methods are open-loop: each clip depends on past context, but the model cannot check or correct its trajectory. Small e…
