  • Patent number: 11928767
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for audio-driven character lip sync, a model for audio-driven character lip sync, and a training method therefor. A target dynamic image is obtained by acquiring a character image of a target character and speech for generating a target dynamic image, processing the character image and the speech as image-audio data that may be trained, respectively, and mixing the image-audio data with auxiliary data for training. When a large amount of sample data needs to be obtained for training in different scenarios, a video when another character speaks is used as an auxiliary video for processing, so as to obtain the auxiliary data. The auxiliary data, which replaces non-general sample data, and other data are input into a model in a preset ratio for training. The auxiliary data may improve a process of training a synthetic lip sync action of the model, so that there are no parts unrelated to the synthetic lip sync action during the training process.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to comparisons of data over time and generating recommendations to create such comparisons. A visualization in an analytics application may include a plurality of data points and a user may select of one or more of the data points to configure the visualization. If the context of the visualization is based on time, the software may determine whether the one or more selected data points includes the current time period. If so, comparisons of the data over time may be included in the visualization and creation of these comparisons may be recommended to the user. One or more data comparisons may be determined by comparing each of the one or more selected data points to a corresponding data point in a previous time period. An updated visualization including the selected data points and the data comparisons may be provided.
