read the original abstract

Estimation of perceptual quality in audio and speech is possible using a variety of methods. The combined v3 release of ViSQOL and ViSQOLAudio (for speech and audio, respectively,) provides improvements upon previous versions, in terms of both design and usage. As an open source C++ library or binary with permissive licensing, ViSQOL can now be deployed beyond the research context into production usage. The feedback from internal production teams at Google has helped to improve this new release, and serves to show cases where it is most applicable, as well as to highlight limitations. The new model is benchmarked against real-world data for evaluation purposes. The trends and direction of future work is discussed.

  1. LambdaMark: Semantic Audio Watermarking for Robustness and Radioactivity

    cs.SD 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    LambdaMark is the first generic radioactive audio watermark that injects multi-bit messages into semantic latent representations, achieving robustness to distortions and removal attacks even after downstream model finetuning.

  2. Investigating Codec-Internal Latent Audio Watermarking for Neural Codec Robustness

    cs.SD 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Embedding watermarks inside a codec-like autoencoder's continuous latent space improves EnCodec-24k bit accuracy to ~95–97%, but the gain is in-distribution and does not transfer to EnCodec-16k.

  3. Making Separation-First Multi-Stream Audio Watermarking Feasible via Joint Training

    cs.SD 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Jointly training the watermark embedder/detector with the source separator enables ~1% bit-error-rate recovery of per-stem watermarks after mixing and separation, where independent training yields 15–35%.

  4. CodecSep: Prompt-Driven Universal Sound Separation on Neural Audio Codec Latents

    cs.SD 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    CodecSep performs prompt-driven universal sound separation directly in neural audio codec latents by combining a frozen DAC backbone with a lightweight FiLM-conditioned Transformer masker driven by CLAP embeddings, yi...

  5. CodecSep: Prompt-Driven Universal Sound Separation on Neural Audio Codec Latents

    cs.SD 2025-09 reject novelty 6.0

    A FiLM-conditioned transformer masker on DAC codec latents performs text-guided sound separation with claimed efficiency, but the main comparison against AudioSep is confounded by asymmetric input processing.

  6. Streaming Neural Speech Codecs through Time-Invariant Representations

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Dual-TIRE extends TiCodec with a second invariant-representation branch, and TiCodec can stream 660ms blocks with minimal degradation.
