Zero-Ping

Neural speech codec (16 kHz) with built-in packet-loss repair via a local masked attention transformer. Designed for real-time VoIP / WebRTC applications where packets are lost in transit.


Sample rate	16 kHz mono
Bitrate	~6 kbps (9 RVQ codebooks × 1024 entries)
Frame size	15 ms (hop = 240 samples)
Latency	~30 ms algorithmic (2 future frames)
Parameters	17.8 M
Best val STOI	0.94

Training data: LibriTTS + VCTK (~700 h).

Install

bash

git clone https://huggingface.co/Lucabr01/Zero-Ping
cd Zero-Ping
pip install torch torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
pip install vector-quantize-pytorch einops huggingface_hub
pip install -e .

Usage

python

import torch, torchaudio
from zpcodec import ZPCodec, GilbertElliottConfig, GilbertElliottSimulator

# Load model (downloads weights automatically on first run)
model = ZPCodec.from_pretrained("Lucabr01/Zero-Ping", device="cpu")

# Load audio (must be 16 kHz mono)
wav, sr = torchaudio.load("speech.wav")
if sr != 16000:
    wav = torchaudio.functional.resample(wav, sr, 16000)
wav = wav.mean(0, keepdim=True).unsqueeze(0)   # [1, 1, T]

with torch.no_grad():
    # Encode → decode (clean, no packet loss)
    z_q, indices = model.encode(wav)
    wav_clean = model.decode(z_q)

    # Simulate 10% packet loss and repair
    cfg  = GilbertElliottConfig(p=0.05, r=0.5, k=0.999, h=0.5)
    sim  = GilbertElliottSimulator(cfg, sample_rate=16000, hop_length=model.hop_length)
    mask = sim.sample_frame_mask(1, z_q.shape[-1])
    wav_repaired = model.decode(z_q, frame_mask=mask)

torchaudio.save("clean.wav",    wav_clean.squeeze(0),    16000)
torchaudio.save("repaired.wav", wav_repaired.squeeze(0), 16000)

Gilbert-Elliot

The GilbertElliottConfig parameters let you tune the simulated channel:

p — probability of entering the Bad state (higher = more frequent bursts)
r — probability of leaving the Bad state (higher = shorter bursts)
h — P(no loss | Bad state), default 0.5
