SoundStream: An End-to-End Neural Audio Codec

Posted by Neil Zeghidour, Research Scientist and Marco Tagliasacchi, Staff Research Scientist, Google Research Audio codecs are used to efficiently compress audio to reduce either storage requirements or network bandwidth. Ideally, audio codecs should be transparent to the end user, so that the decoded audio is perceptually indistinguishable from the original and the encoding/decoding process does not introduce perceivable latency. Over the past few years, different audio codecs have been succe...
