contents Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) have fundamental applications for realistic rendering in immersive audio scenarios. However, they are strongly subject-dependent as they vary considerably depending on the shape of the ears, head and torso. Thus, personalization procedures are required for accurate binaural rendering. Recently, Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs), a class of generative learning techniques, have been applied to solve a variety of signal processing-related problems. In this paper, we propose a first approach for using DDPM conditioned on anthropometric measurements to generate personalized Head-Related Impulse Response (HRIR), the time-domain representation of HRTF. The results show the feasibility of DDPMs for HRTF personalization obtaining performance in line with state-of-the-art models.
