## Abstract (arXiv)

We propose Online Latent prediction with Invariant Views and rEconstruction (OLIVE), a self-supervised speech representation learning framework that jointly optimizes analysis and synthesis objectives. OLIVE combines view-augmented masked latent prediction with waveform reconstruction under a unified objective. Reconstruction constrains early encoder features to retain signal-level information, while masked latent prediction shapes later contextual representations toward invariance for robust downstream performance. We show that these objectives enable representations that support a broad range of tasks. In particular, OLIVE improves results on generation and speaker tasks, maintains competitive performance on recognition and semantic tasks, and improves waveform reconstruction.
