Comprehensive Training Guide for InsTaG

English

This pull request adds a detailed training guide document for the InsTaG framework. The document provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, training, and customizing InsTaG models.

Key aspects covered in the guide:

  1. Installation & Environment Setup

    • System requirements
    • CUDA compatibility details
    • Dependency management
    • BFM model setup
  2. Pre-training Phase (Identity-Free Stage)

    • Data preparation workflows
    • Pre-processing steps for training videos
    • Audio feature extraction options
    • Motion field training techniques
  3. Fine-tuning Phase (Person-Specific Adaptation)

    • Short video adaptation with geometry priors
    • Long video training with the --long flag
    • Tips for different audio features
    • Geometry prior generation with Sapiens
  4. Speech Synchronization

    • Audio feature selection guidelines
    • Phoneme-to-viseme mapping details
    • Evaluation of synchronization quality
    • Troubleshooting lip-sync issues
  5. Advanced Techniques

    • Conversational adaptability
    • Reinforcement learning integration
