For this Lunchtime Talk we are delighted to be joined by Libby Miller, a Producer at BBC R&D. Libby will be discussing her latest project, the Libbybot, and the techniques and tools she uses to develop her work.

Libby has spent a couple of years trying to replicate herself, and more recently, her friends. It's getting easier and easier to make something you can interact with that reminds you of a particular person - though how wise it is it another matter.

She'll be walking us through some of the techniques she's used to make "people", including GPT-2, voice generation and physical presence robots, and some of the hilarities and pitfalls.
