## What it is
A curated awesome-list repository collecting papers, code, datasets, tools, and resources on talking head synthesis, including audio-driven and image-driven talking face generation, NeRF, and 3D Gaussian Splatting approaches. It serves as a research index linking to arXiv PDFs and released implementations.

## Use cases
- find papers on audio-driven talking head generation
- find open-source implementations of talking face synthesis models
- research NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting head avatars
- find datasets for talking head video generation
- survey the state of the art in portrait animation
- compare metrics and benchmarks for talking head synthesis

## When to choose
- you are researching talking head or talking face generation
- you need a curated index of papers and released code for avatar animation
- you want to track recent advances in audio-driven facial animation
- you are looking for datasets or benchmarks for photorealistic talking heads

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-run talking head generation tool rather than a paper list
- you want production software for creating avatar videos
- you need general face animation outside talking head synthesis
