InsideSSL: Understanding Self-Supervised Speech Representations using a Model-Centric Perspective
Samir Sadok, Xavier Alameda-Pineda
Self-supervised learning (SSL) models, such as Wav2Vec2, HuBERT, and WavLM, have become foundational across a wide range of speech and audio tasks. Despite their success, understan…
The Equalizer: Introducing Shape-Gain Decomposition in Neural Audio Codecs
Samir Sadok, Laurent Girin, Xavier Alameda-Pineda
Neural audio codecs (NACs) typically encode the short-term energy (gain) and normalized structure (shape) of speech/audio signals jointly within the same latent space. As a result,…
Residual Tokens Enhance Masked Autoencoders for Speech Modeling
Samir Sadok, Stéphane Lathuilière, Xavier Alameda-Pineda
Recent speech modeling relies on explicit attributes such as pitch, content, and speaker identity, but these alone cannot capture the full richness of natural speech. We introduce…
