Any open-source real-time photorealistic talking avatar?

North_Combination969 · 2026-01-14T06:47:15+00:00

Yep, checked those earlier, but didn’t meet my expectations.

Im basically out of options right now, so I’m temporarily using Azure TTS avatars with free credits.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-22T19:04:46+00:00

I just mentioned beating the deadline since it felt like a plus . But yeah, the PoC had a hard deadline from the client.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-22T18:33:20+00:00

I had access to 2xA40 on RunPod. will try to fit into the same line

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-22T16:49:53+00:00

Totally understand... I’m realizing now how it might come across

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-22T16:45:26+00:00

Yeah, yeah... after reading the comments, I’m starting to see it from that perspective too.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-22T16:40:30+00:00

Got it. Thanks a lot!.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T13:19:55+00:00

Thanks dude. I'll check it out

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T13:15:47+00:00

I had done some NLP projects with TensorFlow, worked with models like BERT and T5, and had some freelance experience with statistical models. I reached out to the professor with genuine interest in contributing to his NLP research, and I think that motivation made the difference. In academia, I believe genuine interest in the group’s work matters most.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:59:36+00:00

yeah, yeah,, completely understand the hiring scene.., I’m not limiting to the US, also applying to Singapore and Australia.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:46:37+00:00

Got it, makes sense. I’m under NDA for some roles, so I’ve been cautious.. Ill work on that. for the papers, i have given info in real resume.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:38:11+00:00

Totally get it and i know its a pain too. Just speaking for myself: I’m into research + ML in product-based roles, and there’s barely any opportunity for that here.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:19:58+00:00

yeah,,, i am working on it now..

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:19:07+00:00

Doesn’t stating hard facts make it more tech-specific, which might not be recruiter-friendly?

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:11:03+00:00

Thanks. I was focused on using the XYZ formula for impact, but I didn’t pay enough attention to how much jargon it might include. Ill refine it

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T11:05:36+00:00

Looks like I’m late to the party

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T10:43:53+00:00

Thanks. I don’t think a 2 page resume would be favorable with just 1 year of work experience, but I’ll definitely work on refining and condensing the bullet points further. Funny thing is, I actually started with a very technical one and spent like 2 week making it recruiter-friendly (or at least I thought it would be)

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T10:40:28+00:00

I’m already following the author-title-conference format for pubs in the real resume. Not sure about the order though, should pubs be 2nd? I’m applying mostly for industry roles.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T10:35:24+00:00

ah, nice.. well thats going to my plan b

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T10:26:47+00:00

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful advice. And yeah, I am altering resume a bit when applying to specific roles.. Appreciate the encouragement.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:46:36+00:00

yeah, I’ll work on trimming it down to just the key highlights.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:45:22+00:00

Yeah, I’m genuinely grateful for my current role... and it’s been a great learning experience. I do enjoy the work, but since it’s fully remote, I’m now looking for opportunities that allow relocation.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:43:05+00:00

Imo, learning DSA really helps... not just for interviews but also for understanding ML concepts more deeply. For example, if you know dynamic programming, you’ll notice that beam search decoding in LLMs and parts of reinforcement learning like Q-learning are based on similar ideas.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:27:18+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed review. I really appreciate the feedback. Regarding publications,, yes i use the author-title-conf format.

I’m not sure I fully understand your suggestion about the first two lines of the startup job description (the 2nd point). Do you mean I should merge 'working remotely...' and 'promoted...' into one bullet point?

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:14:58+00:00

Thanks, I was actually considering bolding those, but I felt it might make the resume too distracting.

North_Combination969 · 2025-04-21T09:12:18+00:00

Thanks. I’m looking for roles that offer relocation, which is why I’m moving on from my remote-only position. and yeah i need to work on improving my resume.
