Neural audio codecs are a key component in speech language modeling. However, their high frame rates lead to long sequence lengths, increasing computational costs. Dynamic frame rate codecs mitigate t...
arXiv:2512.21653v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech codecs are usually optimized for waveform fidelity, allocating bits to acoustic detail that can be inferred from linguistic structure....
arXiv:2606. 09019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Codec-based autoregressive (AR) speech language models have achieved strong text-to-speech (TTS) quality by modeling speech as sequences of discrete audio tokens with large pretrained backbones.
arXiv:2608. 08569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advancements in Speech Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding complex audio tasks.
arXiv:2511. 20973v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) deliver strong performance across speech and audio tasks, but their audio encoders generate high-rate token sequences (e.
arXiv:2602. 10230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio language models process input audio into rich frame-level representations, but the standard approach to temporal localization generates timestamps as sequences of text tokens, which discards the frame-level representations in favor of autoregressive decoding.
