arXiv:2603. 27998v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individualized head-related impulse responses (HRIRs) enable binaural rendering, but dense per-listener measurements are costly.
arXiv:2510. 01891v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) are starting to be introduced in many commercial immersive audio applications and are crucial for realistic spatial audio rendering.
NeuroCodec is a novel generative framework that uses EEG signals to guide target speaker extraction in multi‑talker environments. It operates in the latent space of a neural audio codec, modeling EEG spatial dependencies with graph convolutions and fusing EEG and speech representations via attention and Mamba‑based temporal modeling. A six‑phase training curriculum and a causal streaming version enable high‑fidelity, 44.1 kHz audio reconstruction up to 20 kHz, outperforming baselines on Cocktail Party and KUL datasets and receiving higher perceptual scores in a listening test.
arXiv:2511. 05350v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We argue that training autoencoders to reconstruct inputs from noised versions of their encodings, when combined with perceptually motivated losses, yields encodings that are structured according to a perceptual hierarchy.
arXiv:2609.36577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio large language models (ALLMs) can reason about the content of audio recordings to perform complex tasks. However, these capabilities usually co...
The paper investigates token sparsification for audio transformers, evaluating various pruning and merging methods across multiple datasets and model sizes. It introduces a new approach that blends attention scores with spectral cues from token embeddings, showing that frequency-aware techniques outperform attention-only methods. The study finds that spectrogram patch intensity-based sparsification is particularly effective for longer audio inputs, underscoring the benefit of incorporating frequency-domain information into sparsification strategies.
