Polyglot: Multilingual Style Preserving Speech-Driven Facial Animation

ArXi:2604.16108v1 Announce Type: new Speech-Driven Facial Animation (SDFA) has gained significant attention due to its applications in movies, video games, and virtual reality. However, most existing models are trained on single-language data, limiting their effectiveness in real-world multilingual scenarios.

Speaking style is also shaped by individual differences, not only by language.
