arXiv:2603. 05310v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While existing audio watermarking techniques have achieved strong robustness against traditional digital signal processing (DSP) attacks, they remain vulnerable to neural compression.
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:2608. 05727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural Audio Codecs are widely adopted in speech generation and editing.
arXiv:2607. 08545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end neural audio models achieve high-fidelity compression and generation.
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.
