AudioTQ: A Data-Oblivious 6-Bit CPU Audio Codec via Randomized Hadamard Rotation and Lloyd-Max Quantization
Lossy audio compression algorithms traditionally rely on psychoacoustic modeling and frequency-domain representations (e.g., MP3, AAC, and Opus) to discard information that is imperceptible to the human auditory system. While highly effective, these approaches are computationally complex and domain-specific. In this pa...
