This took me a minute - your output demos are your own, but you included some of their inputs, to make for an easy comparison? Definitely thought you copied their outputs at first and was baffled.
Exactly. Most talking avatar papers re-use each others images + audios in their demo clips. It's just a thing everyone does... we never thought that people would think it means we didn't train our own model!
For whoever wants to, folks can re-make all the videos themselves with our model by extracting the 1st frame and audio.
Yes, exactly! We just wanted to make it easy to compare. We also used some inputs from other famous research papers for comparison (EMO and VASA). But all videos we show on our website/blog are our own. We don't host videos from any other model on our website.
Also, Loopy is not available yet (they just published the research paper). But you can try our model today, and see if it lives up to the examples : )
