The key idea is to create an animation of an avatar that moves their\nhands similarly to how a pianist or violinist would do, just from audio. Aiming\nfor a fully detailed correct arms and fingers motion is a goal, however, it's\nnot clear if body movement can be predicted from music at all. In this paper,\nwe present the first result that shows that natural body dynamics can be\npredicted at all. We built an LSTM network that is trained on violin and piano\nrecital videos uploaded to the Internet. The predicted points are applied onto\na rigged avatar to create the animation.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1712.09382v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.09382v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"audio-to-body-dynamics","repo_url":"https://github.com/facebookresearch/Audio2BodyDynamics","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[],"methods":[{"method_slug":"lstm","method_name":"LSTM"},{"method_slug":"sigmoid-activation","method_name":"Sigmoid Activation"},{"method_slug":"tanh-activation","method_name":"Tanh Activation"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1712.09382","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
