git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Voice-Privacy-Challenge/Voice-Privacy-Challenge-2022.git- ./install.sh
The recipe uses the pre-trained models of anonymization. To run the baseline system with evaluation:
cd baseline- run
./run.sh. In run.sh, to download models and data the user will be requested the password which is provided during the Challenge registration.
For more details about the baseline and data, please see The VoicePrivacy 2022 Challenge Evaluation Plan
For the latest updates in the baseline and evaluation scripts, please visit News and updates page
To participate in the VoicePrivacy 2022 Challenge and get access to evaluation datasets and models, please send an email to organisers@lists.voiceprivacychallenge.org with “VoicePrivacy-2022 registration" as the subject line. The mail body should include:
- (i) the name of the team;
- (ii) the name of the contact person;
- (iii) their affiliation;
- (iv) their country;
- (v) their status (academic/nonacademic).
The dataset for anonymization system traing consists of subsets from the following corpora*:
- LibriSpeech - train-clean-100, train-other-500
- LibriTTS - train-clean-100, train-other-500
- VoxCeleb 1 & 2 - all
*only specified subsets of these corpora can be used for training.
- VCTK - subsets vctk_dev and vctk_test are download from server in run.sh
- LibriSpeech - subsets libri_dev and libri_test are download from server in run.sh
This is the same baseline as the primary baseline for the VoicePrivacy-2020.
In config.sh parameters:
baseline_type=baseline-1 tts_type=am_nsf_old
The baseline B1.b system uses several independent models:
- ASR acoustic model to extract BN features (
1_asr_am) - trained on LibriSpeech-train-clean-100 and LibriSpeech-train-other-500 - X-vector extractor (
2_xvect_extr) - trained on VoxCeleb 1 & 2. - Speech synthesis (SS) acoustic model (
3_ss_am) - trained on LibriTTS-train-clean-100. - Neural source filter (NSF) model (
4_nsf) - trained on LibriTTS-train-clean-100.
All the pretrained models are provided as part of this baseline (downloaded by ./baseline/local/download_models.sh)
The main difference wrt to B1.a is in the speech synthesis component of the anonymization system, B1.b directly converts BN features, F0, and x-vector using an NSF model.
The baseline B1.b system uses several independent models:
- ASR acoustic model to extract BN features (
1_asr_am) - trained on LibriSpeech-train-clean-100 and LibriSpeech-train-other-500 - X-vector extractor (
2_xvect_extr) - trained on VoxCeleb 1 & 2. - Speech synthesis model HiFi-GAN + NSF (
5_joint_tts_nsf_hifigan) - trained on LibriTTS-train-clean-100.
In config.sh parameters:
baseline_type=baseline-1 tts_type=joint_nsf_hifigan
This ia a randomized version of the McAdams algorithm, where the McAdams coefficient is sampled for each source speaker in the evaluation set from a uniform
distribution in the interval [mc_coeff_min, mc_coeff_max]
In config.sh parameters:
baseline_type=baseline-2 mc_coeff_min=0.5 mc_coeff_max=0.9
It does not require any training data and is based upon simple signal processing techniques using the McAdams coefficient.
