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: In one embodiment, an illustrative method herein may comprise: receiving, at a receiver, an audio codec stream; determining, by the receiver, a length of time associated with a look-ahead buffer of the audio codec stream; inputting, by the receiver, the audio codec stream into an audio enhancement model trained with one or more audio enhancements to cause the audio enhancement model to apply the one or more audio enhancements to the audio codec stream to generate an enhanced audio codec stream within the length of time associated with the look-ahead buffer of the audio codec stream; and outputting, by the receiver, the enhanced audio codec stream.
