Abstract: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: obtaining data to be compressed; determining a distance between the data to be compressed and each codeword of a plurality of codewords; selecting a predetermined number of codewords of the plurality of codewords based on the distance between the data to be compressed and each of the predetermined number of codewords; and generating compressed data, where the compressed data includes an indication of the predetermined number of codewords of the plurality of codewords.

Abstract: An endpoint selectively enhances a captured audio signal based on an operating mode. The endpoint obtains an audio input signal of multiple users in a physical location. The audio input signal is captured by a microphone. The endpoint separates voice signals from the audio input signal and determines an operating mode for an audio output signal. The endpoint selectively adjusts each of the voice signals based on the operating mode to generate the audio output signal.
