Improve model card: Add library_name, paper/project/GitHub links, and full abstract
Browse filesThis PR enhances the model card for TaDiCodec by:
* **Adding `library_name: transformers` to the metadata**: This enables the automated "How to use with 🤗 Transformers" widget on the model page, based on evidence from the GitHub repository's acknowledgments (referencing "NAR Llama-style transformers" built upon the `transformers` library) and `tokenizer_config.json` (specifying `"tokenizer_class": "LlamaTokenizer"`).
* **Adding explicit links for the paper, project page, and GitHub repository**: While badges already exist for some of these, providing clear markdown links (`[Paper](link)`, `Project page: [link]`, `GitHub Repository: [link]`) directly under the main model title improves discoverability and provides comprehensive documentation upfront.
* **Replacing the introductory summary with the full paper abstract**: The model card's initial description is updated to include the complete abstract from the paper "TaDiCodec: Text-aware Diffusion Speech Tokenizer for Speech Language Modeling", ensuring a more accurate and comprehensive overview of the model's methodology and contributions.
These changes collectively make the model card more informative and user-friendly for the Hugging Face community.

## Abstract
|
24 |
|
25 |

Speech tokenizers serve as foundational components for speech language models, yet current designs exhibit several limitations, including: 1) dependence on multi-layer residual vector quantization structures or high frame rates, 2) reliance on auxiliary pre-trained models for semantic distillation, and 3) requirements for complex two-stage training processes. In this work, we introduce the Text-aware Diffusion Transformer Speech Codec (TaDiCodec), a novel approach designed to overcome these challenges. TaDiCodec employs end-to-end optimization for quantization and reconstruction through a diffusion autoencoder, while integrating text guidance into the diffusion decoder to enhance reconstruction quality and achieve optimal compression. TaDiCodec achieves an extremely low frame rate of 6.25 Hz and a corresponding bitrate of 0.0875 kbps with a single-layer codebook for 24 kHz speech, while maintaining superior performance on critical speech generation evaluation metrics such as Word Error Rate (WER), speaker similarity (SIM), and speech quality (UTMOS). Notably, TaDiCodec employs a single-stage, end-to-end training paradigm, and obviating the need for auxiliary pre-trained models. We also validate the compatibility of TaDiCodec in language model based zero-shot text-to-speech with both autoregressive modeling and masked generative modeling, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency for speech language modeling, as well as a significantly small reconstruction-generation gap. We will open source our code and model checkpoints. Audio samples are are available at https:/tadicodec.github.io/ . We release code and model checkpoints at https:/github.com/HeCheng0625/Diffusion-Speech-Tokenizer .
