Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Music-driven character animation extracts musical features from a song and uses them to create an animation. This article presents a system that builds a new animation directly from musical attributes, rather than simply synchronizing it to the music like similar systems. Using a simple script that identifies the movements involved in the performance and their timing, the user can easily control the animation of characters. Another unique feature of the system is its ability to incorporate multiple characters into the same animation, both with synchronized and unsynchronized movements. A system that integrates Celtic dance movements is developed in this article. An evaluation of the results shows that the majority of animations are found to be appealing to viewers and that altering the music can change the attractiveness of the final result.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
