Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) is leading a profound transformation, reshaping the production of digital content and disruptively accelerating the efficiency of content creation. As a crucial component of AIGC technology, face editing and generation has the great application potential in various practical scenarios, including social entertainment, creative content production, and virtual character creation. Our focus spans several pivotal dimensions: efficiency, controllability, and universality, contextualized within the realm of multi-modal facial generation tailored for real-world environments. This involves the incorporation of diverse modalities such as input audio, text, and images. Specifically, we will provide a brief introduction of representative facial editing and generation tasks, along with the current challenges. Subsequently, we will present our recent works individually, each contributing to advancements in facial editing and generation. Finally, we will provide a comprehensive summary and outline future directions.
