I released new implementation kan-bayashi/ParallelWaveGAN. Please enjoy your hacking!

PYTORCH-WAVENET-VOCODER

This repository is the wavenet-vocoder implementation with pytorch.

You can try the demo recipe in Google colab from now!

Key features

Support kaldi-like recipe, easy to reproduce the results
Support multi-gpu training / decoding
Support world features / mel-spectrogram as auxiliary features
Support recipes of three public databases
- CMU Arctic database: egs/arctic
- LJ Speech database: egs/ljspeech
- M-AILABS speech database: egs/m-ailabs-speech

Requirements

python 3.6+
virtualenv
cuda 9.0+
cndnn 7.1+
nccl 2.0+ (for the use of multi-gpus)

Recommend to use the GPU with 10GB> memory.

Setup

A. Make virtualenv

$ git clone https://github.com/kan-bayashi/PytorchWaveNetVocoder.git
$ cd PytorchWaveNetVocoder/tools
$ make

B. Install with pip

$ git clone https://github.com/kan-bayashi/PytorchWaveNetVocoder.git
$ cd PytorchWaveNetVocoder

# recommend to use with pytorch 1.0.1 because only tested on 1.0.1
$ pip install torch==1.0.1 torchvision==0.2.2
$ pip install -e .

# please make dummy activate file to suppress warning in the recipe
$ mkdir -p tools/venv/bin && touch tools/venv/bin/activate

How-to-run

$ cd egs/arctic/sd
$ ./run.sh

See more detail of the recipes in egs/README.md.

Results

You can listen to samples from kan-bayashi/WaveNetVocoderSamples.

This is the subjective evaluation results using arctic recipe.

Comparison between model type

Effect of the amount of training data

If you want to listen more samples, please access our google drive from here.

Here is the list of samples:
