Wavelet tokenization unifies audio, image, and video processing

Researchers have proposed a novel approach using wavelets as a common tokenization method for audio, images, and video, moving away from modality-specific latent grids. Their preliminary model, featuring a Haar DWT/IDWT frontend and a shared coefficient-token layout, achieved notable PSNR scores on benchmark datasets for speech, images, and video. The study suggests that a unified wavelet token schema could be viable, with further experiments indicating that sparse training and energy selection methods offer efficient compression strategies.

    Wavelet as Tokenizer: Preliminary Results on a Shared Wavelet Token Schema for Natural Signals

    arXiv:2606.02631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies whether audio, images, and video can share a common wavelet token schema rather than relying on separate modality-specific latent grids. It introduces a preliminary continuous-token model built around a one-leve…
