An efficient neural prediction for vector quantization

Abstract

A novel predictive coding scheme for VQ is presented, called dynamic codebook reordering VQ (DCRVQ). Residual correlations between neighboring codevectors are exploited by a nonlinear prediction, that is a neural one. As a matter of fact, on the basis of the previously decoded codevectors, a multilayer neural network makes a prediction, and this result is used to reorganize the codebook in a dynamic way. This allows for efficient Huffman compression of codevector addresses after reordering.<>
