• Abstract: Neural speech codec has recently gained widespread attention in generative speech modeling domains, like voice conversion, text-to-speech synthesis, etc. However, ensuring high-fidelity audio reconstruction of speech codecs under low bitrate remains an open and challenging issue. In this paper, we propose PromptCodec, a novel end-to-end neural speech codec using feature-aware prompt encoders based on disentangled representation learning. By incorporating prompt encoders to capture representations of additional input prompts, PromptCodec can distribute the speech information requiring processing and enhance its representation capabilities. Moreover, a simple yet effective adaptive feature weighted fusion approach is introduced to integrate features of different encoders. Meanwhile, we propose a novel disentangled representation learning strategy based on structure similarity index measure to optimize PromptCodec's encoders to ensure their efficiency, thereby further improving the performance of PromptCodec. Experiments on LibriTTS demonstrate that our proposed PromptCodec consistently outperforms state-of-the-art neural speech codec models under all different bitrate conditions while achieving superior performance with low bitrates.

  In generative modeling, tokenization simplifies complex data into compact, structured representations, creating a more efficient, learnable space. Current visual tokenization methods rely on a traditional autoencoder framework, where the encoder compresses data into latent representations, and the decoder reconstructs the original input. We propose denoising as decoding, shifting from single-step reconstruction to iterative refinement. Specifically, we replace the decoder with a diffusion process that iteratively refines noise to recover the original image, guided by the latents provided by the encoder.

This neural representation enables our decoder to leverage the smoothness prior in the semantic label space, and thus makes our decoder more efficient.
