arXiv:2606. 02739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio tokenizers serve as the discrete interface between continuous audio and Audio Language Models (ALMs), but existing tokenizers often struggle to support both understanding and generation.
arXiv:2606. 06357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous audio autoencoders reconstruct waveforms well but often produce latents with weak structure for understanding, while self-supervised audio encoders capture semantics but are not directly decodable.
The paper introduces Visual Token Coding (VTC), a token compression method for video multimodal large language models that mimics classical video coding by predicting I/P frames and measuring residuals to reduce token redundancy. VTC is extended with dynamic features—Dynamic Resolution Input, Dynamic Token Allocation, and Spatial Coverage Top‑K—forming VTC_Dy, which can be applied to existing MLLMs without additional tuning. Experiments on three MLLMs and multiple video benchmarks show that VTC_Dy retains over 100% of average performance with a 50% token budget and 97.8% with a 25% budget, while the code is publicly available.
Neural audio codecs are a key component of speech processing pipelines, compressing audio into discrete tokens for downstream modeling. However, existing codecs struggle to balance reconstruction quality with token efficiency, often encoding perceptually irrelevant information such as background noise and recording artifacts at the expense of linguistically and acoustically meaningful content.

arXiv:2603. 08683v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive "language" models (LMs) trained on raw waveforms can be repurposed for lossless audio compression, but prior work is limited to 8-bit audio, leaving open whether such approaches work for practical settings (16/24-bit) and can compete with existing codecs.

arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.
