摘要:
神经音频编解码器模型正变得越来越重要,因为它们作为音频的 tokenizer,能够实现高效传输或促进语音语言建模。理想的神经音频编解码器即使在低比特率下也应保持内容、副语言学、说话人特征和音频信息。最近,人们提出了许多先进的神经编解码器模型。然而,编解码器模型往往在不同的实验条件下进行测试。因此,我们在 SLT 2024 上引入了 Codec-SUPERB 挑战赛,旨在促进现有编解码器模型之间公平且轻量级的比较,并激发该领域的进步。该挑战赛汇集了具有代表性的语音应用和客观指标,并仔细挑选了免许可的数据集,将其采样为小集合以降低评估计算成本。本文介绍了该挑战赛的规则、数据集、五个参赛系统、结果和发现。
英文摘要:
Neural audio codec models are becoming increasingly important as they serve as tokenizers for audio, enabling efficient transmission or facilitating speech language modeling. The ideal neural audio codec should maintain content, paralinguistics, speaker characteristics, and audio information even at low bitrates. Recently, numerous advanced neural codec models have been proposed. However, codec models are often tested under varying experimental conditions. As a result, we introduce the Codec-SUPERB challenge at SLT 2024, designed to facilitate fair and lightweight comparisons among existing codec models and inspire advancements in the field. This challenge brings together representative speech applications and objective metrics, and carefully selects license-free datasets, sampling them into small sets to reduce evaluation computation costs. This paper presents the challenge's rules, datasets, five participant systems, results, and findings.
