I relly hope Meta (FB research) releases this wonderful noise reduction library: https://github.com/facebookresearch/denoiser

I tested MANY while building various audio tech and this was by far the best (beats the shit out of all the python Pandas Hugging Face lists etc). Incredibly ability to cut noise (tho, it must be noted that perceptual improvements for humans do not usually increase machine transcription as AI models strangely seem to pull info out of the dead space between words, and the noise around words...not just the voiced words themselves...the hidden vibrations, beyond our human ken, oh mere mortals unworthy of the grand perceptive machines...ugh...:p :o ;p xx ;p)

I contacted the authors via their FB emails but never heard back. Right now it's non-commercial and I was building a commercial product.

How does it compare to Adobe's recent AI audio enhancement?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes

Where? From the article: >Currently, the code (without the weights) is available on GitHub

In the README on said github

Any idea how/when this will make it into Photoshop?

According to the article, the weights haven't been open sourced, so nobody can take this and build their own Photoshop plugin.

But I'm incredibly curious if they'll license this to Adobe, or if Adobe's already got its own team building the same thing that'll be just as good, or what.

It's not super-clear to me why Meta as opposed to Adobe has come out with this first, except maybe to be able to apply filters to just segments of photos in Insta?

Not sure. Anyone else wanna chime in on that?

BTW - in my search just now in response to your question, I see Dolby also has an API: https://dolby.io/products/enhance/
