Human-Computer Interaction System: A Survey of Talking-Head Generation

Abstract

Virtual human is widely employed in various industries, including personal assistance, intelligent customer service, and online education, thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. An anthropomorphic digital human can quickly contact people and enhance user experience in human–computer interaction. Hence, we design the human–computer interaction system framework, which includes speech recognition, text-to-speech, dialogue systems, and virtual human generation. Next, we classify the model of talking-head video generation by the virtual human deep generation framework. Meanwhile, we systematically review the past five years’ worth of technological advancements and trends in talking-head video generation, highlight the critical works and summarize the dataset.
