Whisper-GPT -- Continuous Discrete Hybrid Representation Language Models For Speech And Music
Researchers have developed Whisper-GPT, a novel language model designed for generating speech and music. This model uniquely integrates continuous audio representations, like spectrograms, with discrete tokens derived from neural compression algorithms. This hybrid approach aims to overcome the context length limitations often encountered with purely discrete token models, while retaining the predictive benefits of discrete spaces for tasks like sampling.
