Publication number: 20250037734Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store one or more segments of time-series data. The device also includes one or more processors configured to generate, using a feature extractor, a latent-space representation of a segment of the time-series data. The one or more processors are also configured to provide one or more inputs to a classifier, the one or more inputs including at least one input based on the latent-space representation. The one or more processors are also configured to generate, based on output of the classifier, a processing control signal for the segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Pravin Kumar RAMADAS, Vivek RAJENDRAN

Publication number: 20240127827Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for encoding and/or decoding audio information. For example, a process can process an input audio segment to generate a representation of the input audio segment, and can compare the representation of the input audio segment to representations stored in a memory. The representations represent a plurality of audio segments. The process can determine, based on the comparison, target representation(s) of target audio segment(s) from the representations stored in the memory. The process can determine one or more indices associated with the target audio segment(s). The process can then packetize the one or more indices and transmit the one or more packetized indices (e.g., to a decoder configured to decode the packetized indices).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Stephane VILLETTE, Sen LI, Pravin Kumar RAMADAS, Daniel Jared SINDER

Patent number: 10297263Abstract: A method includes extracting a voicing classification parameter of an audio signal and determining a filter coefficient of a low pass filter based on the voicing classification parameter. The method also includes filtering a low-band portion of the audio signal to generate a low-band audio signal and controlling an amplitude of a temporal envelope of the low-band audio signal based on the filter coefficient. The method also includes modulating a white noise signal based on the amplitude of the temporal envelope to generate a modulated white noise signal and scaling the modulated white noise signal based on a noise gain to generate a scaled modulated white noise signal. The method also includes mixing a scaled version of the low-band audio signal with the scaled modulated white noise signal to generate a high-band excitation signal that is used to generate a decoded version of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Pravin Kumar Ramadas, Daniel J. Sinder, Stephane Pierre Villette, Vivek Rajendran
