In this repository, we survey three crucial areas: (1) representation learning, (2) neural codec, and (3) language models that contribute to speech/audio large language models.
1.⚡ Speech Representation Models: These models focus on learning structural speech representations, which can then be quantized into discrete speech tokens, often refer to semantic tokens.
2.⚡ Speech Neural Codec Models: These models are designed to learn speech and audio discrete tokens, often referred to as acoustic tokens, while maintaining reconstruction ability and low bitrate.
3.⚡ Speech Large Language Models: These models are trained on top of speech and acoustic tokens in a language modeling approach. They demonstrate proficiency in tasks on speech understanding and speech generation.
