Perceptual Audio Coding: A 40-Year Historical Perspective
In the history of audio and acoustic signal processing, perceptual audio coding has certainly excelled as a bright success story by its ubiquitous deployment in virtually all digital media devices, such as computers, tablets, mobile phones, set-top-boxes, and digital radios. From a technology perspective, perceptual audio coding has undergone tremendous development from the first very basic perceptually driven coders (including the popular mp3 format) to today's full-blown integrated coding/rendering systems. This paper provides a historical overview of this research journey by pinpointing the pivotal development steps in the evolution of perceptual audio coding. Finally, it provides thoughts about future directions in this area.

BEHM-GAN: Bandwidth Extension of Historical Music using Generative Adversarial Networks
Audio bandwidth extension aims to expand the spectrum of narrow-band audio signals. Although this topic has been broadly studied during recent years, the particular problem of extending the bandwidth of historical music …
Bandwidth ExtensionDenoisingPerceptually Aligning Representations of Music via Noise-Augmented Autoencoders
We argue that training autoencoders to reconstruct inputs from noised versions of their encodings, when combined with perceptually motivated losses, yields encodings that are structured according to a perceptual hierarch…
High Quality Audio Coding with MDCTNet
We propose a neural audio generative model, MDCTNet, operating in the perceptually weighted domain of an adaptive modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT). The architecture of the model captures correlations in both tim…
