Method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for audio encoding

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one processing unit;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions for execution by the at least one processing unit, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, causing the computing device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining audio content;
• processing the audio content using an audio encoder to determine a target mean representation and a target variance representation;
• and
• generating an encoding representation of the audio content based on the target mean representation and the target variance representation, wherein the audio encoder is trained based on a process comprising:
• processing sample audio using the audio encoder to determine a sample mean representation;
• determining a semantic loss based on the sample mean representation and a reference semantic feature of the sample audio;
• and
• determining a training loss of the audio encoder based on the semantic loss, to train the audio encoder.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program executable by a processor to implement operations comprising:

• obtaining audio content;
• processing the audio content using an audio encoder to determine a target mean representation and a target variance representation;
• and
• generating an encoding representation of the audio content based on the target mean representation and the target variance representation, wherein the audio encoder is trained based on a process comprising:
• processing sample audio using the audio encoder to determine a sample mean representation;
• determining a semantic loss based on the sample mean representation and a reference semantic feature of the sample audio;
• and
• determining a training loss of the audio encoder based on the semantic loss, to train the audio encoder.
