We will cover computer assisted dialog editing, voxel-based sound propagation, generative models for sound assets, speech synthesis as well as future work.

Event details

  • Filming : Please note that this talk IS NOT filmed as usual, so if you can't attend you will miss this content.
  • Tickets : Please grab your ticket to attend this event, this helps us tremendously and is required due to the liquor license on site. While there is some flexibility (see our F.A.Q.) here and we won't check unless we have to, we expect all attendees to have a ticket.
  • Alcohol : We have an alcohol permit for this event. The format is B.Y.O.B. so there will not be anything available on site if you don't bring it yourself and we would like to prioritize plastic and metal containers, please avoid glass :)
  • After hours @BENELUX : As usual those who groove to "No sleep t'ill brooklyn" can head on over to Benelux after the main event for our usual after hours shindig which ends when it ends. All are welcome !
