This example contains code used to train a [HiFiGAN](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.05646) model with [LJSpeech-1.1](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/).
## Dataset
### Download and Extract
Download LJSpeech-1.1 from the [official website](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/).
### Get MFA Result and Extract
We use [MFA](https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner) results to cut the silence in the edge of audio.
You can download from here [ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz](https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/MFA/LJSpeech-1.1/ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz), or train your MFA model reference to [mfa example](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/tree/develop/examples/other/mfa) of our repo.
## Get Started
Assume the path to the dataset is `~/datasets/LJSpeech-1.1`.
Assume the path to the MFA result of LJSpeech-1.1 is `./ljspeech_alignment`.
Run the command below to
1.**source path**.
2. preprocess the dataset.
3. train the model.
4. synthesize wavs.
- synthesize waveform from `metadata.jsonl`.
```bash
./run.sh
```
You can choose a range of stages you want to run, or set `stage` equal to `stop-stage` to use only one stage, for example, running the following command will only preprocess the dataset.
```bash
./run.sh --stage 0 --stop-stage 0
```
### Data Preprocessing
```bash
./local/preprocess.sh ${conf_path}
```
When it is done. A `dump` folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.
```text
dump
├── dev
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
├── test
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
└── train
├── norm
├── raw
└── feats_stats.npy
```
The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely `train`, `dev`, and `test`, each of which contains a `norm` and `raw` subfolder. The `raw` folder contains the log magnitude of the mel spectrogram of each utterance, while the norm folder contains the normalized spectrogram. The statistics used to normalize the spectrogram are computed from the training set, which is located in `dump/train/feats_stats.npy`.
Also, there is a `metadata.jsonl` in each subfolder. It is a table-like file that contains id and paths to the spectrogram of each utterance.
