Style Transfer with Gesture Style Generator

Traditionally, style transfer methods have extracted style element from user-provided "Style motion"and content element from "Content motion", and combining these two elements to achieve transferred style in the content motion. In the process, they attempted to separate movements into style and content elements in a binary way. However, ambiguity exists between the definitions of style and content. An action of crossing your arms when you are angry (style) while walking (content) is not clearly categorized as either style or content. In this work we define "Gesture Style"referring to a short-term action revealing style (not content) in a motion sequence. Crossing arms in the example falls in Gesture Style, as it represents anger but is performed for short time. We propose a new style transfer method with Gesture Style Generator. It transfers style to the output motion in the conventional style transfer manner while also incorporating generated Gesture Style.
