AudioDec: An Open-source Streaming High-fidelity Neural Audio Codec

Yi-Chiao Wu, Israel D. Gebru, Dejan Marković +1

A good audio codec for live applications such as telecommunication is characterized by three key properties: (1) compression, i.e.\ the bitrate that is required to transmit the sig…

Novel-View Acoustic Synthesis

Changan Chen, Alexander Richard, Roman Shapovalov +4

We introduce the novel-view acoustic synthesis (NVAS) task: given the sight and sound observed at a source viewpoint, can we synthesize the sound of that scene from an unseen targe…

Implicit Neural Spatial Filtering for Multichannel Source Separation in the Waveform Domain

Dejan Markovic, Alexandre Defossez, Alexander Richard

We present a single-stage casual waveform-to-waveform multichannel model that can separate moving sound sources based on their broad spatial locations in a dynamic acoustic scene.…

Audio-Visual Speech Codecs: Rethinking Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement by Re-Synthesis

Karren Yang, Dejan Markovic, Steven Krenn +2

Since facial actions such as lip movements contain significant information about speech content, it is not surprising that audio-visual speech enhancement methods are more accurate…

LiP-Flow: Learning Inference-time Priors for Codec Avatars via Normalizing Flows in Latent Space

Emre Aksan, Shugao Ma, Akin Caliskan +5

Neural face avatars that are trained from multi-view data captured in camera domes can produce photo-realistic 3D reconstructions. However, at inference time, they must be driven b…

Deep Impulse Responses: Estimating and Parameterizing Filters with Deep Networks

Alexander Richard, Peter Dodds, Vamsi Krishna Ithapu

Impulse response estimation in high noise and in-the-wild settings, with minimal control of the underlying data distributions, is a challenging problem. We propose a novel framewor…

MeshTalk: 3D Face Animation from Speech using Cross-Modality Disentanglement

Alexander Richard, Michael Zollhoefer, Yandong Wen +2

This paper presents a generic method for generating full facial 3D animation from speech. Existing approaches to audio-driven facial animation exhibit uncanny or static upper face…

Audio- and Gaze-driven Facial Animation of Codec Avatars

Alexander Richard, Colin Lea, Shugao Ma +3

Codec Avatars are a recent class of learned, photorealistic face models that accurately represent the geometry and texture of a person in 3D (i.e., for virtual reality), and are al…
