Speech Resynthesis from Discrete Disentangled Self-Supervised Representations

Implementation of the method described in the Speech Resynthesis from Discrete Disentangled Self-Supervised Representations.

Abstract: We propose using self-supervised discrete representations for the task of speech resynthesis. To generate disentangled representation, we separately extract low-bitrate representations for speech content, prosodic information, and speaker identity. This allows to synthesize speech in a controllable manner. We analyze various state-of-the-art, self-supervised representation learning methods and shed light on the advantages of each method while considering reconstruction quality and disentanglement properties. Specifically, we evaluate the F0 reconstruction, speaker identification performance (for both resynthesis and voice conversion), recordings' intelligibility, and overall quality using subjective human evaluation. Lastly, we demonstrate how these representations can be used for an ultra-lightweight speech codec. Using the obtained representations, we can get to a rate of 365 bits per second while providing better speech quality than the baseline methods.

Setup

Software

Requirements:

• Python >= 3.6
• PyTorch v1.8
• Install dependencies

  git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/speech-resynthesis.git
  cd speech-resynthesis
  pip install -r requirements.txt

Data

For LJSpeech:

1. Download LJSpeech dataset from here into data/LJSpeech-1.1 folder.
2. Downsample audio from 22.05 kHz to 16 kHz and pad

   bash
   python ./scripts/preprocess.py \
   --srcdir data/LJSpeech-1.1/wavs \
   --outdir data/LJSpeech-1.1/wavs_16khz \
   --pad
   

For VCTK:

1. Download VCTK dataset from here into data/VCTK-Corpus folder.
2. Downsample audio from 48 kHz to 16 kHz, trim trailing silences and pad

   python ./scripts/preprocess.py \
   --srcdir data/VCTK-Corpus/wav48_silence_trimmed \
   --outdir data/VCTK-Corpus/wav16_silence_trimmed_padded \
   --pad --postfix mic2.flac

Training

F0 Quantizer Model

To train F0 quantizer model, use the following command:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 8 train_f0_vq.py \
--checkpoint_path checkpoints/lj_f0_vq \
--config configs/LJSpeech/f0_vqvae.json

Set <NUM_GPUS> to the number of availalbe GPUs on your machine.

Resynthesis Model

To train a resynthesis model, use the following command:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <NUM_GPUS> train.py \
--checkpoint_path checkpoints/lj_vqvae \
--config configs/LJSpeech/vqvae256_lut.json

Supported Configurations

Currently, we support the following training schemes:

Inference

To generate, simply run:

python inference.py \
--checkpoint_file checkpoints/vctk_cpc100 \
-n 10 \
--output_dir generations

To synthesize multiple speakers:

python inference.py \
--checkpoint_file checkpoints/vctk_cpc100 \
-n 10 \
--vc \
--input_code_file datasets/VCTK/cpc100/test.txt \
--output_dir generations_multispkr

You can also generate with codes from a different dataset:

python inference.py \
--checkpoint_file checkpoints/lj_cpc100 \
-n 10 \
--input_code_file datasets/VCTK/cpc100/test.txt \
--output_dir generations_vctk_to_lj

Preprocessing New Datasets

CPC / HuBERT Coding

To quantize new datasets with CPC or HuBERT follow the instructions described in the GSLM code.

To parse CPC output:

python scripts/parse_cpc_codes.py \
--manifest cpc_output_file \
--wav-root wav_root_dir \
--outdir parsed_cpc

To parse HuBERT output:

python parse_hubert_codes.py \
--codes hubert_output_file \
--manifest hubert_tsv_file \
--outdir parsed_hubert 

VQVAE Coding

First, you will need to download LibriLight dataset and move it to data/LibriLight.

For VQVAE, train a vqvae model using the following command:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <NUM_GPUS> train.py \
--checkpoint_path checkpoints/ll_vq \
--config configs/LibriLight/vqvae256.json

To extract VQVAE codes:

python infer_vqvae_codes.py \
--input_dir folder_with_wavs_to_code \
--output_dir vqvae_output_folder \
--checkpoint_file checkpoints/ll_vq

To parse VQVAE output:

 python parse_vqvae_codes.py \
 --manifest vqvae_output_file \
 --outdir parsed_vqvae
