Abstract
A method for generating speech animation from an audio signal includes: receiving the audio signal; transforming the received audio signal into frequency-domain audio features; performing neural-network processing on the frequency-domain audio features to recognize phonemes, wherein the neural-network processing is performed using a neural network trained with a phoneme dataset comprising of audio signals with corresponding ground-truth phoneme labels; and generating the speech animation from the recognized phonemes.
