Abstract
Nonverbal communicative behaviors during speech are important to model a virtual agent able to sustain a natural and lively conversation with humans. We investigate statistical frameworks for learning the correlation between speech prosody and eyebrow motion features. Such methods may be used to synthesize automatically accurate eyebrow movements from synchronized speech.
