Search Results for "vector quantization"

turbovec is a Rust-based vector index with Python bindings for fast similarity search. It is built around TurboQuant, a quantization approach designed to reduce vector storage while preserving useful distance information. The project targets workloads where embedding search needs to be compact, efficient, and practical to integrate into Python applications. It avoids a separate training phase for the quantizer, which can simplify setup compared with systems that require codebook learning. ...

...The model uses a single-quantizer design together with temporal compression to achieve extreme compression without sacrificing reconstruction fidelity. Its architecture incorporates a broader vector-quantization space, extended contextual windows, and improved attention networks, combined with multi-scale discriminators and inverse Fourier transform blocks to enhance waveform reconstruction. Extensive experiments show that WavTokenizer matches or surpasses previous neural codecs across speech, music, and general audio on both objective metrics and subjective listening tests.

AGC (Audiogen Codec) is a convolutional autoencoder based on the DAC architecture, which holds SOTA. We found that training with EMA and adding a perceptual loss term with CLAP features improved performance. These codecs, being low compression, outperform Meta's EnCodec and DAC on general audio as validated from internal blind ELO games. We trained (relatively) very low compression codecs in the pursuit of solving a core issue regarding general music and audio generation, low acoustic...

Implementation of NÜWA, state of the art attention network for text-to-video synthesis, in Pytorch. It also contains an extension into video and audio generation, using a dual decoder approach. It seems as though a diffusion-based method has taken the new throne for SOTA. However, I will continue on with NUWA, extending it to use multi-headed codes + hierarchical causal transformer. I think that direction is untapped for improving on this line of work. In the paper, they also present a way...

...For autoregressive (AR) modeling of high-resolution images, vector quantization (VQ) represents an image as a sequence of discrete codes. A short sequence length is important for an AR model to reduce its computational costs to consider long-range interactions of codes. However, we postulate that previous VQ cannot shorten the code sequence and generate high-fidelity images together in terms of the rate-distortion trade-off.
