Abstract
Rendering an avatar for a user in a communication session includes obtaining latent variables for expression and identity of a face, applying a concatenation of the latent variables to an expression decoder of a trained asymmetric joint autoencoder for expression and identification to obtain an expression mesh of a face, and rendering an avatar using the expression mesh of the face. The asymmetric joint autoencoder includes two encoders and two decoders, where an expression decoder utilizes the concatenated latents and the identity decoder utilizes the identity latents and not the expression latents.
