HE-NAC: High-Efficiency Neural Audio Coding

TL;DR: Modern neural audio codecs often reconstruct missing high-frequency content by guessing it with a generative decoder. HE-NAC instead combines this bitrate-free prediction with a small amount of explicitly coded residual information for…

Neural Speech and Audio Coding

Neural Speech and Audio Coding: A Research Thread Over the past several years, my group has been exploring a common question from multiple angles: how should we design neural speech…
