Toward a Sparse Interpretable Audio Codec
- rasz 2y agoArticle about audio codec with no mention of compression rates and "speech results" audio samples are presented as animated gifs.
- cochlear 2y agoThese are both great points and I'll use them to refine my writing on the subject, I appreciate the feedback! Apologies if it isn't clear, but the animated gifs are meant as an illustration of the iterative encoding process, where the encoder decomposes the signal step-by-step, as in matching pursuit. I'll be sure to clarify that point. I'll add a paragraph on compression rates/ratios, although that isn't necessarily the main focus here; codecs may compress a signal, but they might also transform it into a more useful, easy-to-understand and easy-to-manipulate representation.
