    摘要: A method for encoding an input point on an n-dimensional sphere by encoding n-1 spherical coordinates of said input point. The method includes sequential scalar quantization of the n-1 spherical coordinates in order to obtain at most 2n-2 candidates at the end of the sequential scalar quantization of the n-1 coordinates, and subsequently selecting the best candidate which minimizes a distance between the input point and the at most 2n-2 candidates, and determining the separate quantization indices resulting from the sequential scalar quantization of the spherical coordinates of the best candidate and sequentially encoding the separate quantization indices of the best candidate. A corresponding decoding method, an encoding device and a decoding device are also provided.

    摘要: A method includes receiving sampled audio data corresponding to utterances and training a machine learning (ML) model, using the sampled audio data, to generate a high-fidelity audio stream from a low bitrate input bitstream. The training of the ML model includes de-emphasizing the influence of low-probability distortion events in the sampled audio data on the trained ML model, where the de-emphasizing of the distortion events is achieved by the inclusion of a term in an objective function of the ML model, which term encourages low-variance predictive distributions of a next sample in the sampled audio data, based on previous samples of the audio data.

    摘要: A signal separation device for acquiring a source signal from a mixed signal observed by a plurality of sensors includes: a database that stores feature information of a clean signal; separation matrix calculation means for repeatedly performing processes of, based on a separated signal obtained by multiplication of a mixed signal converted into a time-frequency representation by a separation matrix and on the feature information stored in the database, calculating a parameter to be used for an objective function for optimizing the separation matrix, and calculating a separation matrix for minimizing the objective function using the parameter; and output means for outputting a separated signal calculated using the optimized separation matrix obtained by the separation matrix calculation means.
