HiFi-GAN+

This project is an unoffical implementation of the HiFi-GAN+ model for audio bandwidth extension, from the paper Bandwidth Extension is All You Need by Jiaqi Su, Yunyun Wang, Adam Finkelstein, and Zeyu Jin.

The model takes a band-limited audio signal (usually 8/16/24kHz) and attempts to reconstruct the high frequency components needed to restore a full-band signal at 48kHz. This is useful for upsampling low-rate outputs from upstream tasks like text-to-speech, voice conversion, etc. or enhancing audio that was filtered to remove high frequency noise. For more information, please see this blog post.

Usage

The example below uses a pretrained HiFi-GAN+ model to upsample a 1 second 24kHz sawtooth to 48kHz.

import torch
from hifi_gan_bwe import BandwidthExtender

model = BandwidthExtender.from_pretrained("hifi-gan-bwe-10-42890e3-vctk-48kHz")

fs = 24000
x = torch.full([fs], 261.63 / fs).cumsum(-1) % 1.0 - 0.5
y = model(x, fs)

There is a Gradio demo on HugggingFace Spaces where you can upload audio clips and run the model. You can also run the model on Colab with this notebook.

Running with pipx

The HiFi-GAN+ library can be run directly from PyPI if you have the pipx application installed. The following script uses a hosted pretrained model to upsample an MP3 file to 48kHz. The input audio can be in any format supported by the audioread library, and the output can be in any format supported by soundfile.

pipx run --python=python3.9 hifi-gan-bwe \
  hifi-gan-bwe-10-42890e3-vctk-48kHz \
  input.mp3 \
  output.wav

Running in a Virtual Environment

If you have a Python 3.9 virtual environment installed, you can install the HiFi-GAN+ library into it and run synthesis, training, etc. using it.

pip install hifi-gan-bwe

hifi-synth hifi-gan-bwe-10-42890e3-vctk-48kHz input.mp3 output.wav

Pretrained Models

The following models can be loaded with BandwidthExtender.from_pretrained and used for audio upsampling. You can also download the model file from the link and use it offline.

Name Sample Rate Parameters Wandb Metrics Notes
hifi-gan-bwe-10-42890e3-vctk-48kHz 48kHz 1M bwe-10-42890e3 Same as bwe-05, but uses bandlimited interpolation for upsampling, for reduced noise and aliasing. Uses the same parameters as resampy's kaiser_best mode.
hifi-gan-bwe-11-d5f542d-vctk-8kHz-48kHz 48kHz 1M bwe-11-d5f542d Same as bwe-10, but trained only on 8kHz sources, for specialized upsampling.
hifi-gan-bwe-12-b086d8b-vctk-16kHz-48kHz 48kHz 1M bwe-12-b086d8b Same as bwe-10, but trained only on 16kHz sources, for specialized upsampling.
hifi-gan-bwe-13-59f00ca-vctk-24kHz-48kHz 48kHz 1M bwe-13-59f00ca Same as bwe-10, but trained only on 24kHz sources, for specialized upsampling.
hifi-gan-bwe-05-cd9f4ca-vctk-48kHz 48kHz 1M bwe-05-cd9f4ca Trained for 200K iterations on the VCTK speech dataset with noise agumentation from the DNS Challenge dataset.

Training

If you want to train your own model, you can use any of the methods above to install/run the library or fork the repo and run the script commands locally. The following commands are supported:

Name Description
hifi-train Starts a new training run, pass in a name for the run.
hifi-clone Clone an existing training run at a given or the latest checkpoint.
hifi-export Optimize a model for inference and export it to a PyTorch model file (.pt).
hifi-synth Run model inference using a trained model on a source audio file.

For example, you might start a new training run called bwe-01 with the following command:

hifi-train 01

To train a model, you will first need to download the VCTK and DNS Challenge datasets. By default, these datasets are assumed to be in the ./data/vctk and ./data/dns directories. See train.py for how to specify your own training data directories. If you want to use a custom training dataset, you can implement a dataset wrapper in datasets.py.

The training scripts use wandb.ai for experiment tracking and visualization. Wandb metrics can be disabled by passing --no_wandb to the training script. All of my own experiment results are publicly available at wandb.ai/brentspell/hifi-gan-bwe.

Each training run is identified by a name and a git hash (ex: bwe-01-8abbca9). The git hash is used for simple experiment tracking, reproducibility, and model provenance. Using git to manage experiments also makes it easy to change model hyperparameters by simply changing the code, making a commit, and starting the training run. This is why there is no hyperparameter configuration file in the project, since I often end up having to change the code anyway to run interesting experiments.

Development

Setup

The following script creates a virtual environment using pyenv for the project and installs dependencies.

pyenv install 3.9.10
pyenv virtualenv 3.9.10 hifi-gan-bwe
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to run the hifi-* scripts described above in development, you can install the package locally:

pip install -e .

You can then run tests, etc. follows:

pytest --cov=hifi_gan_bwe
black .
isort --profile=black .
flake8 .
mypy .

These checks are also included in the pre-commit configuration for the project, so you can set them up to run automatically on commit by running

pre-commit install
