About DreamTalk

When Expressive Talking Head Generation Meets Diffusion Probabilistic Models,DreamTalk is a diffusion-based audio-driven expressive talking head generation framework that can produce high-quality talking head videos across diverse speaking styles. DreamTalk exhibits robust performance with a diverse array of inputs, including songs, speech in multiple languages, noisy audio, and out-of-domain portraits.

DreamTalk Reviews:When Expressive Talking Head Generation Meets Diffusion Probabilistic Models

If you are seeking an exhilarating challenge and the chance to collaborate with AIGC and large-scale pretraining, then you have come to the right place. We are searching for talented, motivated, and imaginative researchers to join our team.

Diffusion models have shown remarkable success in a variety of downstream generative tasks, yet remain under-explored in the important and challenging expressive talking head generation. In this work, we propose a DreamTalk framework to fulfill this gap, which employs meticulous design to unlock the potential of diffusion models in generating expressive talking heads. Specifically, DreamTalk consists of three crucial components: a denoising network, a style-aware lip expert, and a style predictor. The diffusion-based denoising network is able to consistently synthesize high-quality audio-driven face motions across diverse expressions. To enhance the expressiveness and accuracy of lip motions, we introduce a style-aware lip expert that can guide lip-sync while being mindful of the speaking styles. To eliminate the need for expression reference video or text, an extra diffusion-based style predictor is utilized to predict the target expression directly from the audio. By this means, DreamTalk can harness powerful diffusion models to generate expressive faces effectively and reduce the reliance on expensive style references. Experimental results demonstrate that DreamTalk is capable of generating photo-realistic talking faces with diverse speaking styles and achieving accurate lip motions, surpassing existing state-of-the-art counterparts.
