Comparison of WaLLoC with other autoencoder designs for RGB Images and stereo audio.
Example of forward and inverse WPT with $J=2$ levels. Each level applies filters $\text{L}{\text{A}}$ and $\text{H}{\text{A}}$ independently to each of the signal channels, followed by downsampling by two $(\downarrow 2)$. An inverse level consists of upsampling $(\uparrow 2)$ followed by $\text{L}{\text{S}}$ and $\text{H}{\text{S}}$, then summing the two channels. The full WPT $\tilde{\textbf{X}}$ of consists of $J$ levels.
WaLLoC’s encode-decode pipeline. The entropy bottleneck and entropy coding steps are only required to achieve high compression ratios for storage and transmission. For compressed-domain learning where dimensionality reduction is the primary goal, these steps can be skipped to reduce overhead and completely eliminate CPU-GPU transfers.
Wavelet Learned Lossy Compression (WaLLoC)
WaLLoC sandwiches a convolutional autoencoder between time-frequency analysis and synthesis transforms using CDF 9/7 wavelet filters. The time-frequency transform increases the number of signal channels, but reduces the temporal or spatial resolution, resulting in lower GPU memory consumption and higher throughput. WaLLoC's training procedure is highly simplified compared to other $\beta$-VAEs, VQ-VAEs, and neural codecs, but still offers significant dimensionality reduction and compression. This makes it suitable for dataset storage and compressed-domain learning. It currently supports 1D and 2D signals, including mono, stereo, or multi-channel audio, and grayscale, RGB, or hyperspectral images.
