We consider audio decoding as an inverse problem and solve it through diffusion posterior sampling. Explicit conditioning functions are developed for input signal measurements provided by an example of a transform domain perceptual audio codec. Viability is demonstrated by evaluating arbitrary pairi…
We consider source coding of audio signals with the help of a generative model. We use a construction where a waveform is first quantized, yielding a finite bitrate representation. The waveform is then reconstructed by random sampling from a model conditioned on the quantized waveform. The proposed…
We provide a speech coding scheme employing a generative model based on SampleRNN that, while operating at significantly lower bitrates, matches or surpasses the perceptual quality of state-of-the-art classic wide-band codecs. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can provide a meani…
