Semantic priors from HuBERT and Whisper improve speech codec intelligibility up to 6 kbps but show diminishing returns beyond that, with a bitrate-aware regulation strategy balancing semantic consistency and naturalness.
Q2D2 uses 2D geometric grid projections to quantize feature pairs in neural audio codecs, yielding implicit codebooks that improve efficiency and utilization over RVQ, VQ, and FSQ while maintaining reconstruction quality.
F3-Tokenizer adapts audio autoencoder latents with noise-regularized bottleneck (channel normalization and stochastic perturbation) and a representation encoder (RQ-MTP plus frozen-LLM supervision) to support both high-dimensional understanding representations and normalized continuous generation ta
A Transformer predicts tokens from neural audio codecs (EnCodec, DAC, X-Codec) to convert expressive drum grids into audio, trained and evaluated on the E-GMD dataset using objective metrics.
JaiTTS-v1.0 achieves 1.94% CER on short Thai speech, beating human ground truth of 1.98%, matches humans on long speech, and wins 283 of 400 human comparisons against commercial systems.
