KoUniTalk: A Lightweight Articulation-Centered Korean-English 3D Talking Face Benchmark

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 17, 2026 · UTC

High-quality 3D talking face datasets remain largely English-centric, and Korean 3D facial motion data are difficult to combine with standard English benchmarks because of differences in mesh topology, spatial scale, coordinate system, and temporal sampling. We present KoUniTalk, a lightweight articulation-centered Korean-English 3D talking face benchmark that retargets VOCASET and the released Korean speech-based 3D talking face data to a shared mesh topology using deformation transfer. Rather than proposing a new deformation-transfer algorithm or a full-head identity-preserving avatar datase
