BEACON: Behavior and Appearance Control for Subject-Specific Video Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.13264v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating human-centric videos that preserve both visual identity and person-specific expressive behavior remains a fundamental challenge. In addition to reproducing appearance, a model must replicate the facial behaviors that characterize how a subject expresses emotion over time. However, most state-of-the-art methods condition generation on a single reference image, which contains no information about these temporal dynamics. As a result, they tend to preserve the subject's visual identity but often produce expressions with limited variatio
