# DeepSpeech2 on PaddlePaddle
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sh setup.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please replace `$PADDLE_INSTALL_DIR` with your own paddle installation directory.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Preparing Data
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd datasets
|
|
sh run_all.sh
|
|
cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`sh run_all.sh` prepares all ASR datasets (currently, only LibriSpeech available). After running, we have several summarization manifest files in json-format.
|
|
|
|
A manifest file summarizes a speech data set, with each line containing the meta data (i.e. audio filepath, transcript text, audio duration) of each audio file within the data set, in json format. Manifest file serves as an interface informing our system of where and what to read the speech samples.

```

|
python datasets/librispeech/librispeech.py --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Preparing for Training
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python tools/compute_mean_std.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will compute mean and stdandard deviation for audio features, and save them to a file with a default name `./mean_std.npz`. This file will be used in both training and inferencing. The default feature of audio data is power spectrum, and the mfcc feature is also supported. To train and infer based on mfcc feature, please generate this file by
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python tools/compute_mean_std.py --specgram_type mfcc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and specify ```--specgram_type mfcc``` when running train.py, infer.py, evaluator.py or tune.py.

### Training
|
|
|
|
For GPU Training:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 python train.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For CPU Training:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python train.py --use_gpu False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More help for arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python train.py --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Preparing language model
|
|
|
|
The following steps, inference, parameters tuning and evaluating, will require a language model during decoding.
|
|
A compressed language model is provided and can be accessed by
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd ./lm
|
|
sh run.sh
|
|
cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Inference
|
|
|
|
For GPU inference
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python infer.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For CPU inference
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python infer.py --use_gpu=False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More help for arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python infer.py --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Evaluating
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python evaluate.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More help for arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python evaluate.py --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters tuning
|
|
|
|
Usually, the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ for the CTC [prefix beam search](https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2873) decoder need to be tuned after retraining the acoustic model.
|
|
|
|
For GPU tuning
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tune.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For CPU tuning
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python tune.py --use_gpu=False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More help for arguments:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python tune.py --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then reset parameters with the tuning result before inference or evaluating.
|
|
|
|
### Playing with the ASR Demo
|
|
|
|
A real-time ASR demo is built for users to try out the ASR model with their own voice. Please do the following installation on the machine you'd like to run the demo's client (no need for the machine running the demo's server).
|
|
|
|
For example, on MAC OS X:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew install portaudio
|
|
pip install pyaudio
|
|
pip install pynput
|
|
```
|
|
After a model and language model is prepared, we can first start the demo's server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python demo_server.py
|
|
```
|
|
And then in another console, start the demo's client:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python demo_client.py
|
|
```
|
|
On the client console, press and hold the "white-space" key on the keyboard to start talking, until you finish your speech and then release the "white-space" key. The decoding results (infered transcription) will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
It could be possible to start the server and the client in two seperate machines, e.g. `demo_client.py` is usually started in a machine with a microphone hardware, while `demo_server.py` is usually started in a remote server with powerful GPUs. Please first make sure that these two machines have network access to each other, and then use `--host_ip` and `--host_port` to indicate the server machine's actual IP address (instead of the `localhost` as default) and TCP port, in both `demo_server.py` and `demo_client.py`.
