10.48550/arXiv.2603.26553A novel AI model generates semantically grounded co-speech gestures by learning from both correct and incorrect audio-text pairings, improving cross-modal consistency and outperforming existing methods.
Abstract
While the field of co-speech gesture generation has seen significant advances, producing holistic, semantically grounded gestures remains a challenge. Existing approaches rely on external semantic retrieval methods, which limit their generalisation capability due to dependency on predefined linguistic rules. Flow-matching-based methods produce promising results; however, the network is optimised using only semantically congruent samples without exposure to negative examples, leading to learning rhythmic gestures rather than sparse motion, such as iconic and metaphoric gestures. Furthermore, by modelling body parts in isolation, the majority of methods fail to maintain crossmodal consistency. We introduce a Contrastive Flow Matching-based co-speech gesture generation model that uses mismatched audio-text conditions as negatives, training the velocity field to follow the correct motion trajectory while repelling semantically incongruent trajectories. Our model ensures cross-modal coherence by embedding text, audio, and holistic motion into a composite latent space via cosine and contrastive objectives. Extensive experiments and a user study demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two datasets, BEAT2 and SHOW.

WHY NOW
Generative Video moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 7.0/10. Production flags indicate code availability.
Our model ensures cross-modal coherence by embedding text, audio, and holistic motion into a composite latent space via cosine and contrastive objectives.
The abstract explicitly states this as the core mechanism of the model. The CFM loss function (equation 12) directly supports this.
partial
Our method achieves consistently strong performance across Fréchet Gesture Distance (FGD), Beat Consistency (BC) and Diversity metrics.
Tables 1 and 2 provide quantitative results showing lower FGD and higher BC and Diversity scores for the proposed method compared to others.

Removing SACM leads to a clear and consistent degradation
Table 2 shows a clear performance improvement (lower FGD, higher BC) when SACM is included compared to its removal ('w/o SACM').
partial
Existing approaches rely on external semantic retrieval methods, which limit their generalisation capability due to dependency on predefined linguistic rules.
The abstract explicitly states this as a limitation of prior work, motivating the development of the new approach.
partial
however, the network is optimised using only semantically congruent samples without exposure to negative examples, leading to learning rhythmic gestures rather than sparse motion, such as iconic and metaphoric gestures.
The abstract identifies this as a drawback of existing flow-matching methods, which the proposed contrastive approach aims to address.
partial
The dataset facilitates comprehensive multimodal learning with robust cross-modal alignment between speech audio and full-body motion coded in SMPL-X parameters [32].
The description of the BEAT2 dataset highlights its features relevant for multimodal learning and robust alignment.
partial
The dataset provides high-quality 30fps SMPL-X [32] body meshes with holistic full-body, hand, and facial expressions paired with 22kHz audio.
The description of the SHOW dataset details its comprehensive nature and quality of synchronized multimodal data.
partial
Our model ensures cross-modal coherence by embedding text, audio, and holistic motion into a composite latent space via cosine and contrastive objectives.
This is a direct statement from the abstract describing a key technical aspect of the model's architecture and training.
partial
Our model ensures cross-modal coherence by embedding text, audio, and holistic motion into a composite latent space via cosine and contrastive objectives.
The abstract explicitly states the core method of using mismatched conditions as negatives for contrastive flow matching to achieve semantic grounding.
partial
Intuitively, the first term attracts the predicted velocity toward the congruent trajectory induced byO, while the second term repels it from trajectories associated with the incongruent multimodal context˜O.
The abstract and the description of the LCFM loss function clearly explain the dual role of the contrastive regularization in attracting correct and repelling incorrect trajectories.
partial
Our method achieves consistently strong performance across Fréchet Gesture Distance (FGD), Beat Consistency (BC) and Diversity metrics.
Table 1 provides quantitative results showing lower FGD and higher BC and Diversity for 'Ours' compared to RAGGesture, GestureLSM, and SemTalk on the BEAT2 dataset.
