b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Alexander Richard, a research scientist at Facebook Reality Labs, and recipient of the ICLR Best Paper Award for his paper \\u201cNeural Synthesis of Binaural Speech From Mono Audio.\\u201d\\xa0\\n\\nWe begin our conversation with a look into the charter of Facebook Reality Labs, and Alex\\u2019s specific Codec Avatar project, where they\\u2019re developing AR/VR for social telepresence (applications like this come to mind). Of course, we dig into the aforementioned paper, discussing the difficulty in improving the quality of audio and the role of dynamic time warping, as well as the challenges of creating this model. Finally, Alex shares his thoughts on 3D rendering for audio, and other future research directions.\\xa0\\n\\nThe complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/514.'
