Model Details

• Modality: PPG
• Sample Rate: 64 Hz
• Compression Ratio: 16x
• Quantization: INT8
• RVQ Levels: 2
• Codebook Size: 256 entries × 16D
• Encoder Input: [None, 1, 320, 1]
• Encoder Output: [None, 1, 20, 16]

Release Provenance

Release kind: corrected_export_without_retraining. Export source commit: 7a5443834ec50e41f41d4ff2b1c2f27e73b1acf7 . Physiological scorecard: historical; not reevaluated for this release. Packet compatibility: corrected RVQ level counts; bind packets to exact repository and revision. Pretraining ancestry: not independently audited during export repair. See release_provenance.json for checkpoint hashes, replaced revision, and sample provenance.

Quality Metrics

Fidelity & Robustness

Both fidelity yardsticks are reported so the codec is judged fairly: faithfulness is PRD vs the recorded (still-noisy) input, while truth fidelity is PRD vs clean ground truth. Lower is better.

Time Domain

PRD here is faithfulness (vs the recorded input); see Fidelity & Robustness above for the clean-truth and noise-regime view.

Spectral

• Band Total Relative Error (median): 0.0259

Bitrate

Encoder Precision Parity

Difference from FP32 reconstruction on a disjoint real-data holdout; lower is better.

Usage

Python (compressionkit runtime)

from compressionkit.runtime import RVQCodec

codec = RVQCodec.from_pretrained("Ambiq/compressionkit-ppg-16x-v1.1")

# Encode: float32 signal → RVQ indices
indices = codec.encode(signal)

# Decode: RVQ indices → reconstructed signal
recon = codec.decode(indices)

Local deployment directory

codec = RVQCodec("path/to/deploy/")
