Researchers have introduced FMReward, a novel framework designed to improve and evaluate audio-driven 3D facial animation by aligning with human preferences. This framework includes FMPair, the first dataset of its kind for this domain, containing over 65,000 annotated facial motion pairs. FMReward itself is a model that predicts perceptual quality scores for facial animations based on audio input, and it is used in conjunction with Facial Motion reward Feedback Learning (FMFL) to fine-tune animation models.
