  • Publication number: 20250104722
    Abstract: A method and device for encoding/decoding an audio signal based on dequantization through potential diffusion are provided. The method of decoding an audio signal includes obtaining a discrete latent vector in which a speech signal is quantized and based on the discrete latent vector, outputting a continuous latent vector in which the discrete latent vector is dequantized.

  • Publication number: 20250104724
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding/decoding a neural network-based personalized speech are provided. The method includes outputting a first bit stream in which an input speech signal is encrypted, based on the input speech signal, and outputting a second bit stream in which speaker information of the input speech signal is encrypted, based on the input speech signal.

  • Publication number: 20240013796
    Abstract: A method of encoding a speech signal includes predicting a feature vector of each of a plurality of frames included in the speech signal based on a ground-truth feature vector of a previous frame of each of the plurality of frames, calculating a residual signal corresponding to each of the plurality of frames based on a ground-truth feature vector of each of the plurality of frames and a predicted feature vector of each of the plurality of frames, and generating a bitstring corresponding to each of the plurality of frames by quantizing the residual signal.

  • Patent number: 11664037
    Abstract: Methods of encoding and decoding a speech signal using a neural network model that recognizes sound sources, and encoding and decoding apparatuses for performing the methods are provided. A method of encoding a speech signal includes identifying an input signal for a plurality of sound sources; generating a latent signal by encoding the input signal; obtaining a plurality of sound source signals by separating the latent signal for each of the plurality of sound sources; determining a number of bits used for quantization of each of the plurality of sound source signals according to a type of each of the plurality of sound sources; quantizing each of the plurality of sound source signals based on the determined number of bits; and generating a bitstream by combining the plurality of quantized sound source signals.
