• July 2021: We are now working on packaging s3prl and reorganizing the file structure in v0.3. Please consider using the stable v0.2.0 for now. We will test and release v0.3 before August.
• June 2021: Support SUPERB: Speech processing Universal PERformance Benchmark, submitted to Interspeech 2021. Use the tag superb-interspeech2021 or v0.2.0.
• June 2021: Support extracting multiple hidden states from the SSL pretrained models
• Jan 2021: Readme updated with detailed instructions on how to use our latest version!
• Dec 2020: We are migrating to a newer version for a more general, flexible, and scalable code. See the introduction below for more information! The legacy verison can be accessed the tag v0.1.0.

Introduction and Usages

This is an open source toolkit called s3prl, which stands for Self-Supervised Speech Pre-training and Representation Learning. Self-supervised speech pre-trained models are called upstream in this toolkit, and are utilized in various downstream tasks.

The toolkit has three major usages:

Pretrain

• Pretrain upstream models, including Mockingjay, Audio ALBERT and TERA.
• Document: pretrain/README.md

Upstream

• Easily load most of the existing upstream models with pretrained weights in a unified I/O interface.
• Pretrained models are registered through torch.hub, which means you can use these models in your own project by one-line plug-and-play without depending on this toolkit's coding style.
• Document: upstream/README.md

Downstream

• Utilize upstream models in lots of downstream tasks
• Benchmark upstream models with SUPERB Benchmark
• Document: downstream/README.md

Below is an intuitive illustration on how this toolkit may help you:



Feel free to use or modify our toolkit in your research. Here is a list of papers using our toolkit. Any questsion, bug report or improvement suggestion is welcome through opening up a new issue.

If you find this toolkit helpful to your research, please do consider to cite our papers, thanks!

Installation

1. Python >= 3.6
2. Install sox on your OS
3. Install s3prl

pip install s3prl

# or

pip install -e ./

4. Install the specific fairseq

pip install fairseq@git+https://github.com//pytorch/fairseq.git@f2146bdc7abf293186de9449bfa2272775e39e1d#egg=fairseq

5. Some upstream models require special dependencies. If you encounter error with a specific upstream model, you can look into the README.md under each upsream folder. Eg. upstream/pase/README.md

Development pattern for contributors

1. Create a personal fork of the main S3PRL repository in GitHub.
2. Make your changes in a named branch different from master, e.g. you create a branch new-awesome-feature.
3. Contact us if you have any questions during development.
4. Generate a pull request through the Web interface of GitHub.
5. Please verify that your code is free of basic mistakes, we appreciate any contribution!
