F3-Tokenizer: Taming Audio Autoencoder Latents for Understanding and Generation 文章

arXiv:2606.06357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous audio autoencoders reconstruct waveforms well but often produce latents with weak structure for understanding, while self-supervised audio encoders capture semantics but are not directly decodable. This mismatch complicates a single audio tokenizer that must support both understanding and generation. We adapt continuous autoencoder latents to this setting with two components: a noise-regularized autoencoder bottleneck and a latent-side representation encoder. The bottleneck uses channel normalization and stochastic perturbation instead of KL-based variational training, yielding scale-controlled continuous latents for reconstruction and autoregressive generation. The representation encoder is trained on frozen autoencoder latents with RQ-MTP and frozen-LLM supervision. The resulting tokenizer provides high-dimensional representations for understanding while preserving normalized continuous latents as generation targets
