Audio Searching

Introduction

As the Internet continues to evolve, unstructured data such as emails, social media photos, live videos, and customer service voice calls have become increasingly common. If we want to process the data on a computer, we need to use embedding technology to transform the data into vector and store, index, and query it.

However, when there is a large amount of data, such as hundreds of millions of audio tracks, it is more difficult to do a similarity search. The exhaustive method is feasible, but very time consuming. For this scenario, this demo will introduce how to build an audio similarity retrieval system using the open source vector database Milvus.

Audio retrieval (speech, music, speaker, etc.) enables querying and finding similar sounds (or the same speaker) in a large amount of audio data. The audio similarity retrieval system can be used to identify similar sound effects, minimize intellectual property infringement, quickly retrieve the voice print library, and help enterprises control fraud and identity theft. Audio retrieval also plays an important role in the classification and statistical analysis of audio data.

In this demo, you will learn how to build an audio retrieval system to retrieve similar sound snippets. The uploaded audio clips are converted into vector data using paddlespeech-based pre-training models (audio classification model, speaker recognition model, etc.) and stored in Milvus. Milvus automatically generates a unique ID for each vector, then stores the ID and the corresponding audio information (audio ID, audio speaker ID, etc.) in MySQL to complete the library construction. During retrieval, users upload test audio to obtain vector, and then conduct vector similarity search in Milvus.The retrieval result returned by Milvus is vector ID, and the corresponding audio information can be queried in MySQL by ID.

Note：this demo uses the CN-Celeb dataset of at least 650,000 audio entries and 3000 speakers to build the audio vector library, which is then retrieved using a preset distance calculation. The dataset can also use other, Adjust as needed, e.g. Librispeech, VoxCeleb, UrbanSound, GloVe, MNIST, etc.

Usage

1. Prepare PaddleSpeech

Audio vector extraction requires PaddleSpeech training model, so please make sure that PaddleSpeech has been installed before running. Specific installation steps: See installation.

You can choose one way from easy, meduim and hard to install paddlespeech.

2. Prepare MySQL and Milvus services by docker-compose

The audio similarity search system requires Milvus, MySQL services. We can start these containers with one click through docker-compose.yaml, so please make sure you have installed Docker Engine and Docker Compose before running. then

## Enter the audio_searching directory for the following example
cd ~/PaddleSpeech/demos/audio_searching/

## Then start the related services within the container
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d

You will see the that all containers are created:

Creating network "quick_deploy_app_net" with driver "bridge"
Creating milvus-minio    ... done
Creating milvus-etcd     ... done
Creating audio-mysql     ... done
Creating milvus-standalone ... done
Creating audio-webclient     ... done

And show all containers with docker ps, and you can use docker logs audio-mysql to get the logs of server container

3. Start API Server

Then to start the system server, and it provides HTTP backend services.

• Install the Python packages

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Set configuration(In the case of local running, you can skip this step.)

  ## Method 1: Modify the source file
  vim src/config.py
  
  ## Method 2: Modify the environment variables, as shown in
  export MILVUS_HOST=127.0.0.1
  export MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
  

  Here listing some parameters that need to be set, for more information please refer to config.py.

  Parameter	Description	Default setting
  MILVUS_HOST	The IP address of Milvus, you can get it by ifconfig. If running everything on one machine, most likely 127.0.0.1	127.0.0.1
  MILVUS_PORT	Port of Milvus.	19530
  VECTOR_DIMENSION	Dimension of the vectors.	2048
  MYSQL_HOST	The IP address of Mysql.	127.0.0.1
  MYSQL_PORT	Port of Mysql.	3306
  DEFAULT_TABLE	The milvus and mysql default collection name.	audio_table

• Run the code

  Then start the server with Fastapi.

  export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:./src
  python src/audio_search.py
  

  Then you will see the Application is started:

  INFO:     Started server process [13352]
  2022-03-26 22:45:30,838 ｜ INFO ｜ server.py ｜ serve ｜ 75 ｜ Started server process [13352]

4. Usage

• Prepare data

  wget -c https://www.openslr.org/resources/82/cn-celeb_v2.tar.gz && tar -xvf cn-celeb_v2.tar.gz 
  

  Note: If you want to build a quick demo, you can use ./src/test_audio_search.py:download_audio_data function, it downloads 20 audio files , Subsequent results show this collection as an example

• Prepare model(Skip this step if you use the default model.)

  ## Modify model configuration parameters. Currently, only ecapatdnn_voxceleb12 is supported, and multiple types will be supported in the future
  vim ./src/encode.py
  

• Scripts test (Recommended)

  The internal process is downloading data, loading the paddlespeech model, extracting embedding, storing library, retrieving and deleting library

  python ./src/test_audio_search.py

• GUI test (Optional)

  Navigate to 127.0.0.1:8068 in your browser to access the front-end interface.

  Note: If the browser and the service are not on the same machine, then the IP needs to be changed to the IP of the machine where the service is located, and the corresponding API_URL in docker-compose.yaml needs to be changed, and the docker-compose.yaml file needs to be re-executed for the change to take effect.

  • Insert data

    Download the data on the server and decompress it to a file, for example, /home/speech/data/. Then enter /home/speech/data/ in the address bar of the upload page to upload the data.

    

  • Search for similar audio

    Select the magnifying glass icon on the left side of the interface. Then, press the "Default Target Audio File" button and upload a .wav sound file from the client you'd like to search. Results will be displayed.

recall and elapsed time statistics are shown in the following figure：

The retrieval framework based on Milvus takes about 2.9 milliseconds to retrieve on the premise of 90% recall rate, and it takes about 500 milliseconds for feature extraction (testing audio takes about 5 seconds), that is, a single audio test takes about 503 milliseconds in total, which can meet most application scenarios.

• compute embeding takes 500 ms
• retrieval with cosine takes 2.9 ms
• total takes 503 ms

test audio is 5 sec
