CodecSep enables prompt-driven sound separation in neural audio codec latents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed CodecSep, a new framework for prompt-driven sound separation that operates directly within neural audio codec latent spaces. This approach allows for open-vocabulary separation of audio sources with significantly reduced computational cost compared to existing methods. CodecSep integrates a frozen DAC backbone with a lightweight Transformer masker, enabling efficient, low-latency deployment on edge devices and in codec-mediated transmission pipelines. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient and flexible audio editing and source extraction on edge devices and in real-time transmission.

    CodecSep: Prompt-Driven Universal Sound Separation on Neural Audio Codec Latents

    arXiv:2509.11717v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-guided sound separation enables flexible audio editing, assistive listening, and open-domain source extraction, but systems such as AudioSep remain too expensive for low-latency edge or codec-mediated deployment. Exis…
