In this work, we introduce NU-Wave, the first neural audio upsampling model to produce waveforms of sampling rate 48kHz from coarse 16kHz or 24kHz inputs, while prior works could generate only up to 16kHz. NU-Wave is the first diffusion probabilistic model for audio super-resolution which is engineered based on neural vocoders. NU-Wave generates high-quality audio that achieves high performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), log-spectral distance (LSD), and accuracy of the ABX test. In all cases, NU-Wave outperforms the baseline models despite the substantially smaller model capacity (3.0M parameters) than baselines (5.4-21%). The audio samples of our model are available at https://mindslab-ai.github.io/nuwave, and the code will be made available soon.

  1. Semantic Sampling via Learnable Observation Front Ends

    eess.AS 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Learnable acoustic filterbanks plus constrained mixing and temporal readout produce more informative low-rate observations for speech reconstruction than fixed waveform sampling at the same budget.

  2. Inference-time Scaling for Diffusion-based Audio Super-resolution

    cs.SD 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Generating 120 candidate super-resolved audios and choosing the best by task-specific verifiers improves speech, music, and sound effects over single-sample diffusion output, at 120x compute.
