Worth noting is Doug Crockford's TDOP parser implementation in JavaScript, it's quite elegant: https://github.com/douglascrockford/TDOP/

As well as his accompanying talk, titled Syntaxation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e_oEE72d3U (sadly, the recording has gaps and is generally horrible; as far as I know he gave the talk only once).

Crockford's talk led me to the original paper and together they really expanded my horizon on how to make maintainable parsing engines. Thanks for putting in the effort and making it more accessible!

Surprisingly, when people can shoot movies with their iPhones, we have nothing to help here. I'd love to see something similar to super-resolution, merging multiples audio sources into a 'higher' res one. And temporal markov graph-cut, to fill gaps as much as possible.
Wrong post?
Just a strong digression. It's sadly common to have badly recorded talks which is surprising considering the era.
Yeah, it doesn't help that conference organizers tend to discourage the audience from doing their own recordings.
Why is that ? Copyrights or syndicated revenue ? Professional conference recording seems quite pricey[1]. Maybe there can be a middle ground solution.

[1] There's a crowdfunding to help pay for some lambda talks, it was around 15k. I don't know the details though, if it's for many days in many rooms
