PersonaGest: Personalized Co-Speech Gesture Generation with Semantic-Guided Hierarchical Motion Representation
arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.07252v1 Announce Type: cross Co-speech gesture generation aims to synthesize realistic body movements that are semantically coherent with speech and faithful to a user-specified gestural style. Existing VQ-VAE based co-speech gesture generation methods improve generation quality but fail to encode semantic structure into the motion representation or explicitly disentangle content from style, limiting both semantic coherence and personalization fidelity. We present PersonaGest, a two-stage framework addressing both limitations.
