  • AVATAR STYLE TRANSFORMATION USING NEURAL NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20220254084
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for transforming a motion style of an avatar from a first style to a second style. The program and method include: retrieving, by a processor from a storage device, an avatar depicting motion in a first style; receiving user input selecting a second style; obtaining, based on the user input, a trained machine learning model that performs a non-linear transformation of motion from the first style to the second style; and applying the obtained trained machine learning model to the retrieved avatar to transform the avatar from depicting motion in the first style to depicting motion in the second style.
