Abstract
This specification relates to the generation of animation data using recurrent neural networks. According to a first aspect of this specification, there is described a computer implemented method comprising: sampling an initial hidden state of a recurrent neural network (RNN) from a distribution; generating, using the RNN, a sequence of frames of animation from the initial state of the RNN and an initial set of animation data comprising a known initial frame of animation, the generating comprising, for each generated frame of animation in the sequence of frames of animation: inputting, into the RNN, a respective set of animation data comprising the previous frame of animation data in the sequence of frames of animation; generating, using the RNN and based on a current hidden state of the RNN, the frame of animation data; and updating the hidden state of the RNN based on the input respective set of animation data.
