Abstract
Disclosed are a method of encoding and decoding an audio signal and an encoder and a decoder performing the method. The method of encoding an audio signal includes identifying an input signal, and generating a bitstring of each encoding layer by applying, to the input signal, an encoding model including a plurality of successive encoding layers that encodes the input signal, in which a current encoding layer among the encoding layers is trained to generate a bitstring of the current encoding layer by encoding an encoded signal which is a signal encoded in a previous encoding layer and quantizing an encoded signal which is a signal encoded in the current encoding layer.
