Abstrakt: Recently, a conventional neural decoder for speech codec has shown promising performance. However, it typically requires some prior knowledge of decoding such as bit allocation or dequantization scheme, which is not a universal solution for many different kinds of speech codecs. In order to address this limitation, we propose a neurally optimized decoder based on a generative model which can directly reconstruct the speech from the bitstream without a prior knowledge. The proposed decoder mainly consists of two components: 1) a dequantization model to group and dequantize related bits from the bitstream and 2) a generative model to restore the speech conditioned on the output of the dequantization model. Through experiments with mixed excitation linear prediction (MELP), Advanced multi-band excitation (AMBE), and SPEEX at around 2.4 kb/s, it is showed that the proposed model showed better performance in most of the objective and subjective evaluation compared to the conventional speech codecs.
