KVAE Audio

KVAE Audio compresses and reconstructs waveforms for speech, music and general sound. It provides continuous audio latents for a separate generative model.

Research release

Use the latent representation as a model component

The released package supports waveform reconstruction and latent encoding. Its generative evaluations hold the separate generator fixed, so they do not establish a standalone text-to-audio model.kandinskylab/KVAE-Audio — model card and files

Keep the encoder and decoder paired

Practical guidance. A compressed representation is useful only with a compatible consumer and decoder. Replacing an autoencoder can change the latent distribution even when tensor dimensions match.
