• This code is a unofficial implementation of HierSpeech.
• The algorithm is based on the following papers:

Lee, S. H., Kim, S. B., Lee, J. H., Song, E., Hwang, M. J., & Lee, S. W. HierSpeech: Bridging the Gap between Text and Speech by Hierarchical Variational Inference using Self-supervised Representations for Speech Synthesis. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems.

• The structure is derived from HierSpeech, but I made several modifications.
• The multi-head attention in the FFT Block has been replaced with linearized attention.
• Discriminator
  • Following the advice of the author of the paper, multi stft discriminator have been applied.
  • To prevent the discriminator from winning, the gradient penalty is applied through R1 regularization.

• LJ Dataset
• VCTK Dataset
  • This repository used the VCTK092 from Torchaudio(https://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/10283/3443/VCTK-Corpus-0.92.zip)

Before proceeding, please set the pattern, inference, and checkpoint paths in Hyper_Parameters.yaml according to your environment.

• Sound

  • Setting basic sound parameters.

• Tokens

  • The number of token.

• Discriminator

  • If Use_STFT is true, model use period and stft discriminator, except scale.
  • If Use_STFT is false, model use period and scale discriminator, except stft.

• Train

  • Setting the parameters of training.

• Inference_Batch_Size

  • Setting the batch size when inference

• Inference_Path

  • Setting the inference path

• Checkpoint_Path

  • Setting the checkpoint path

• Log_Path

  • Setting the tensorboard log path

• Use_Mixed_Precision

  • Setting using mixed precision

• Use_Multi_GPU

  • Setting using multi gpu
  • By the nvcc problem, Only linux supports this option.
  • If this is True, device parameter is also multiple like '0,1,2,3'.
  • And you have to change the training command also: please check multi_gpu.sh.

• Device

  • Setting which GPU devices are used in multi-GPU enviornment.
  • Or, if using only CPU, please set '-1'. (But, I don't recommend while training.)

python Pattern_Generate.py [parameters]

• -lj
  • The path of LJSpeech dataset
• -hp
  • The path of hyperparameter.

• To phoneme string generate, this repository uses phonimizer library.
• Please refer here to install phonemizer and backend
• In Windows, you need more setting to use phonemizer.
  • Please refer here
  • In conda enviornment, the following commands are useful.

    conda env config vars set PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_PATH='C:\Program Files\eSpeak NG'
    conda env config vars set PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_LIBRARY='C:\Program Files\eSpeak NG\libespeak-ng.dll'

python Train.py -hp <path> -s <int>

• -hp <path>

  • The hyper paramter file path
  • This is required.

• -s <int>

  • The resume step parameter.
  • Default is 0.
  • If value is 0, model try to search the latest checkpoint.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 OMP_NUM_THREADS=32 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 Train.py --hyper_parameters Hyper_Parameters.yaml --port 54322

• I recommend to check the multi_gpu.sh.
