VampNet: Music Generation via Masked Acoustic Token Modeling

Hugo Flores Garcia, Prem Seetharaman, Rithesh Kumar +1

We introduce VampNet, a masked acoustic token modeling approach to music synthesis, compression, inpainting, and variation. We use a variable masking schedule during training which…

High-Fidelity Audio Compression with Improved RVQGAN

Rithesh Kumar, Prem Seetharaman, Alejandro Luebs +2

Language models have been successfully used to model natural signals, such as images, speech, and music. A key component of these models is a high quality neural compression model…

Chunked Autoregressive GAN for Conditional Waveform Synthesis

Max Morrison, Rithesh Kumar, Kundan Kumar +3

Conditional waveform synthesis models learn a distribution of audio waveforms given conditioning such as text, mel-spectrograms, or MIDI. These systems employ deep generative model…

NU-GAN: High resolution neural upsampling with GAN

Rithesh Kumar, Kundan Kumar, Vicki Anand +2

In this paper, we propose NU-GAN, a new method for resampling audio from lower to higher sampling rates (upsampling). Audio upsampling is an important problem since productionizing…

MelGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks for Conditional Waveform Synthesis

Kundan Kumar, Rithesh Kumar, Thibault de Boissiere +6

Previous works (Donahue et al., 2018a; Engel et al., 2019a) have found that generating coherent raw audio waveforms with GANs is challenging. In this paper, we show that it is poss…

Maximum Entropy Generators for Energy-Based Models

Rithesh Kumar, Sherjil Ozair, Anirudh Goyal +2

Maximum likelihood estimation of energy-based models is a challenging problem due to the intractability of the log-likelihood gradient. In this work, we propose learning both the e…
