Investigating Neural Audio Codecs for Speech Language Model-Based Speech Generation
Jiaqi Li, Dongmei Wang, Xiaofei Wang +13
Neural audio codec tokens serve as the fundamental building blocks for speech language model (SLM)-based speech generation. However, there is no systematic understanding on how the…
