HARP-Net: Hyper-Autoencoded Reconstruction Propagation for Scalable Neural Audio Coding
An autoencoder-based codec employs quantization to turn its bottleneck layer activation into bitstrings, a process that hinders information flow between the encoder and decoder parts. To circumvent this issue, we employ additional skip connections between the corresponding pair of encoder-decoder layers. The assumption is that, in a mirrored autoencoder topology, a decoder layer reconstructs the intermediate feature representation of its corresponding encoder layer. Hence, any additional information directly propagated from the corresponding encoder layer helps the reconstruction. We implement this kind of skip connections in the form of additional autoencoders, each of which is a small codec that compresses the massive data transfer between the paired encoder-decoder layers. We empirically verify that the proposed hyper-autoencoded architecture improves perceptual audio quality compared to an ordinary autoencoder baseline.

Native Multi-Band Audio Coding within Hyper-Autoencoded Reconstruction Propagation Networks
Spectral sub-bands do not portray the same perceptual relevance. In audio coding, it is therefore desirable to have independent control over each of the constituent bands so that bitrate assignment and signal reconstruct…

We propose a novel approach to unsupervised learning by constructing a non-linear embedding of the data into a low-dimensional space followed by any conventional clustering algorithm. The embedding promotes clusterabilit…

We present a scalable low dimensional manifold model for the reconstruction of noisy and incomplete hyperspectral images. The model is based on the observation that the spatial-spectral blocks of a hyperspectral image ty…
HyperbolicDiffusion: Sharp & Scalable Tiled Generation on the Hyperbolic Plane
Planar tiled diffusion denoises overlapping windows of one rectangular canvas. The hyperbolic plane has no such canvas, and its area grows exponentially with radius. We introduce HyperbolicDiffusion, a training-free meth…
