Self-guidance adds a lightweight feature-mapping loss to align decoder manifolds in VQ-VAE speech codecs, raising reconstruction metrics and allowing 4x codebook reduction with no fidelity loss.
Audio language models are benchmarked on five semantic and paralinguistic reasoning tasks to reveal limitations in handling spoken audio evidence, accent variation, and domain shifts.
