Talker-T2AV-Data

Joint Talking Audio-Video Generation with Autoregressive Diffusion Modeling

Paper (arXiv 2604.23586) · Code (GitHub) · Model · Samples

Clean training data package for Talker-T2AV. Paths in metadata/train.csv are relative to the dataset root after extracting the shard archives.

Contents

• metadata/train.csv: training index used by Talker-T2AV.
• shards/*.tar: clean archive shards grouped by modality and dataset source.
• audio/, motion/, video/: directories created after extracting shards.

train.csv columns:

• sample_id
• dataset_source
• split
• text
• wav_path
• motion_pt_path
• video_path
• pt_length
• fps

Download and Extract

hf download HKUSTAudio/Talker-T2AV-Data --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./Talker-T2AV-Data
cd ./Talker-T2AV-Data
for f in shards/*.tar; do tar -xf "$f"; done

Use With Talker-T2AV Training

export TRAIN_CSV=$(pwd)/metadata/train.csv
export DATA_ROOT=$(pwd)

Talker-T2AV/training/dataset.py resolves wav_path, motion_pt_path, and video_path relative to DATA_ROOT.
