Tacotron2 with LJSpeech-1.1

This example contains code used to train a Tacotron2 model with LJSpeech-1.1

Dataset

Download and Extract

Download LJSpeech-1.1 from it's Official Website and extract it to ~/datasets. Then the dataset is in the directory ~/datasets/LJSpeech-1.1.

Get MFA Result and Extract

We use MFA to get phonemes for Tacotron2, the durations of MFA are not needed here. You can download from here ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz, or train your MFA model reference to mfa example 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.
   • synthesize waveform from a text file.

./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.

./run.sh --stage 0 --stop-stage 0

Data Preprocessing

./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.

dump
├── dev
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
└── train
    ├── norm
    ├── raw
    └── speech_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 speech features of each utterance, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in dump/train/*_stats.npy.

Also, there is a metadata.jsonl in each subfolder. It is a table-like file that contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, durations, the path of speech features, speaker, and the id of each utterance.

Model Training

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/train.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path}

./local/train.sh calls ${BIN_DIR}/train.py. Here's the complete help message.

                [--dev-metadata DEV_METADATA] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]
                [--ngpu NGPU] [--phones-dict PHONES_DICT]

Train a Tacotron2 model.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG       tacotron2 config file.
  --train-metadata TRAIN_METADATA
                        training data.
  --dev-metadata DEV_METADATA

1. --config is a config file in yaml format to overwrite the default config, which can be found at conf/default.yaml.
2. --train-metadata and --dev-metadata should be the metadata file in the normalized subfolder of train and dev in the dump folder.
3. --output-dir is the directory to save the results of the experiment. Checkpoints are saved in checkpoints/ inside this directory.
4. --ngpu is the number of gpus to use, if ngpu == 0, use cpu.
5. --phones-dict is the path of the phone vocabulary file.

Synthesizing

We use parallel wavegan as the neural vocoder. Download pretrained parallel wavegan model from pwg_ljspeech_ckpt_0.5.zip and unzip it.

unzip pwg_ljspeech_ckpt_0.5.zip

Parallel WaveGAN checkpoint contains files listed below.
