This code is based on CPC_audio
(https://github.com/facebookresearch/CPC_audio) and it implements the Contrast Predictive Coding algorithm on audio data, as described in the paper Unsupervised Pretraining Transfers well Across Languages. This is an unsupervised method to train audio features directly from the raw waveform.
1/ Install libraries which would be required for torch-audio https://github.com/pytorch/audio :
- MacOS:
brew install sox
- Linux:
sudo apt-get install sox libsox-dev libsox-fmt-all
2/ conda env create -f environment.yml && conda activate cpc37
3/ Run setup.py
python setup.py develop
We suggest to train the model either on Librispeech or libri-light.
To run with our setup:
- A CPC training session:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION
--pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --normMode layerNorm --dropout --n_process_loader 1 --batchSizeGPU 32 --nPredicts 12 --limitNegsInBatch 8 --nEpoch 50 --nGPU 2 --nLevelsGRU 2 --schedulerRamp 10 --normalizeCPCScore
- An ACPC session:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION
--pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --normMode layerNorm --dropout --n_process_loader 1 --batchSizeGPU 32 --CPCCTC --nPredicts 6 --CPCCTCNumMatched 12 --limitNegsInBatch 8 --nEpoch 50 --nGPU 2 --nLevelsGRU 2 --schedulerRamp 10 --normalizeCPCScore
- An mACPC session:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION
--pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --normMode layerNorm --dropout --n_process_loader 1 --batchSizeGPU 32 --CPCCTC --nPredicts 6 --CPCCTCNumMatched 12 --limitNegsInBatch 8 --nEpoch 50 --nGPU 2 --nLevelsGRU 2 --schedulerRamp 10 --normalizeCPCScore --multiLevel --segmentationMode cosineDissimilarity --nPredictsSegment 2 --CPCCTCNumMatchedSegment 4 --negativeSamplingExtSegment 1
- A multi-level model as described in Variable-rate hierarchical CPC leads to acoustic unit discovery in speech:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION
--pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --normMode layerNorm --dropout --n_process_loader 1 --batchSizeGPU 32 --CPCCTC --nPredicts 6 --CPCCTCNumMatched 12 --limitNegsInBatch 8 --nEpoch 50 --nGPU 2 --nLevelsGRU 2 --schedulerRamp 10 --multiLevel --segmentationMode boundaryPredictor --nPredictsSegment 2 --adjacentNegatives --targetQuantizerSegment robustKmeans
Where:
- $PATH_AUDIO_FILES is the directory containing the audio files. The files should be arranged as below:
PATH_AUDIO_FILES
│
└───speaker1
│ └───...
│ │ seq_11.{$EXTENSION}
│ │ seq_12.{$EXTENSION}
│ │ ...
│
└───speaker2
└───...
│ seq_21.{$EXTENSION}
│ seq_22.{$EXTENSION}
Please note that each speaker directory can contain an arbitrary number of subdirectories: the speaker label will always be retrieved from the top one. The name of the files isn't relevant. For a concrete example, you can look at the organization of the Librispeech dataset.
- $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR in the directory where the checkpoints will be saved
- $TRAINING_SET is a path to a .txt file containing the list of the training sequences (see here for example)
- $VALIDATION_SET is a path to a .txt file containing the list of the validation sequences
- $EXTENSION is the extension of each audio file
The code allows you to train a wide range of architectures. For example, to train the CPC method as described in Van Den Oord's paper just run:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION --normMode batchNorm --rnnMode linear
Or if you want to train a model with the architecture described in Kreuk et al's paper:
python cpc/train.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --pathTrain $TRAINING_SET --pathVal $VAL_SET --file_extension $EXTENSION
--pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR --normMode layerNorm --dropout --n_process_loader 1 --batchSizeGPU 32 --nPredicts 1 --limitNegsInBatch 8 --nEpoch 50 --nGPU 2 --schedulerRamp 10 --rnnMode none --arMode no_ar --negativeSamplingExt 1 --nPredicts 1 --samplingType samesequence --linearOutput --normalizeCPCScore
Launch cpc/train.py -h to see all the possible options.
To restart a session from the last saved checkpoint just run
python cpc/train.py --pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT_DIR
All evaluation scripts can be found in cpc/eval/.
After training, the CPC model can output high level features for a variety of tasks. For an input audio file sampled at 16kHz, the provided baseline model will output 256 dimensional output features every 10ms. We provide two linear separability tests one for speaker, one for phonemes, in which a linear classifier is trained on top of the CPC features with aligned labels, and evaluated on a held-out test set.
Train / Val splits as well as phone alignments for librispeech-100h can be found here.
Speaker separability:
python cpc/eval/linear_separability.py $PATH_DB $TRAINING_SET $VAL_SET $CHECKPOINT_TO_LOAD --pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT
Phone separability:
python cpc/eval/linear_separability.py $PATH_DB $TRAINING_SET $VAL_SET $CHECKPOINT_TO_LOAD --pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT --pathPhone $PATH_TO_PHONE_LABELS
PER using CTC loss and a non linear CNN+LSTM classifier:
python cpc/eval/linear_separability.py $PATH_DB $TRAINING_SET $VAL_SET $CHECKPOINT_TO_LOAD --pathCheckpoint $PATH_CHECKPOINT --pathPhone $PATH_TO_PHONE_LABELS --CTC --CTC_forbid_blank --useLSTM --convClassifier
You can run the segmentation evaluations metrics described in Kreuk et al's paper for a dataset for which you have phone alignments as the ones described for LibriSpeech above.
You can run a phone segmentation evaluation on a given checkpoint with:
python cpc/eval/segmentation.py --pathDB $PATH_AUDIO_FILES --load $PATH_CHECKPOINT --pathPhone $PATH_TO_PHONE_LABELS --file_extension $EXTENSION --pathCheckpoint $SAVE_DIR
