VALL-E Recipe
In this recipe, we will show how to train VALL-E using Amphion's infrastructure. VALL-E is a zero-shot TTS architecture that uses a neural codec language model with discrete codes.
There are four stages in total:
- Data preparation
- Features extraction
- Training
- Inference
NOTE: You need to run every command of this recipe in the
Amphion
root path:
cd Amphion
1. Data Preparation
Dataset Download
You can use the commonly used TTS dataset to train the VALL-E model, e.g., LibriTTS, etc. We strongly recommend you use LibriTTS to train the VALL-E model for the first time. How to download the dataset is detailed here.
Configuration
After downloading the dataset, you can set the dataset paths in exp_config.json
. Note that you can change the dataset
list to use your preferred datasets.
"dataset": [
"libritts",
],
"dataset_path": {
// TODO: Fill in your dataset path
"libritts": "[LibriTTS dataset path]",
},
2. Features Extraction
Configuration
Specify the processed_dir
and the log_dir
and for saving the processed data and the checkpoints in exp_config.json
:
// TODO: Fill in the output log path. The default value is "Amphion/ckpts/tts"
"log_dir": "ckpts/tts",
"preprocess": {
// TODO: Fill in the output data path. The default value is "Amphion/data"
"processed_dir": "data",
...
},
Run
Run the run.sh
as the preprocess stage (set --stage 1
):
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 1
NOTE: The
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
is set as"0"
in default. You can change it when runningrun.sh
by specifying such as--gpu "1"
.
3. Training
Configuration
We provide the default hyperparameters in the exp_config.json
. They can work on a single NVIDIA-24g GPU. You can adjust them based on your GPU machines.
"train": {
"batch_size": 4,
}
Train From Scratch
Run the run.sh
as the training stage (set --stage 2
). Specify an experimental name to run the following command. The tensorboard logs and checkpoints will be saved in Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]
.
Specifically, VALL-E needs to train an autoregressive (AR) model and then a non-autoregressive (NAR) model. So, you can set --model_train_stage 1
to train AR model, and set --model_train_stage 2
to train NAR model, where --ar_model_ckpt_dir
should be set as the checkpoint path to the trained AR model.
Train an AR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 1 --name [YourExptName]
Train a NAR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 2 --ar_model_ckpt_dir [ARModelPath] --name [YourExptName]
Train From Existing Source
We support training from existing sources for various purposes. You can resume training the model from a checkpoint or fine-tune a model from another checkpoint.
By setting --resume true
, the training will resume from the latest checkpoint from the current [YourExptName]
by default. For example, if you want to resume training from the latest checkpoint in Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint
,
Train an AR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 1 --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true
Train a NAR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 2 --ar_model_ckpt_dir [ARModelPath] --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true
You can also choose a specific checkpoint for retraining by --resume_from_ckpt_path
argument. For example, if you want to resume training from the checkpoint Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint/[SpecificCheckpoint]
,
Train an AR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 1 --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true \
--resume_from_ckpt_path "Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint/[SpecificARCheckpoint]"
Train a NAR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 2 --ar_model_ckpt_dir [ARModelPath] --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true \
--resume_from_ckpt_path "Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint/[SpecificNARCheckpoint]"
If you want to fine-tune from another checkpoint, just use --resume_type
and set it to "finetune"
. For example, If you want to fine-tune the model from the checkpoint Amphion/ckpts/tts/[AnotherExperiment]/checkpoint/[SpecificCheckpoint]
,
Train an AR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 1 --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true \
--resume_from_ckpt_path "Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint/[SpecificARCheckpoint]" \
--resume_type "finetune"
Train a NAR model, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 2 --model_train_stage 2 --ar_model_ckpt_dir [ARModelPath] --name [YourExptName] \
--resume true \
--resume_from_ckpt_path "Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/checkpoint/[SpecificNARCheckpoint]" \
--resume_type "finetune"
NOTE: The
--resume_type
is set as"resume"
in default. It's not necessary to specify it when resuming training.The difference between
"resume"
and"finetune"
is that the"finetune"
will only load the pretrained model weights from the checkpoint, while the"resume"
will load all the training states (including optimizer, scheduler, etc.) from the checkpoint.
NOTE: The
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
is set as"0"
in default. You can change it when runningrun.sh
by specifying such as--gpu "0,1,2,3"
.
4. Inference
Configuration
For inference, you need to specify the following configurations when running run.sh
:
Parameters | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
--infer_expt_dir |
The experimental directory of NAR model which contains checkpoint |
Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName] |
--infer_output_dir |
The output directory to save inferred audios. | Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/result |
--infer_mode |
The inference mode, e.g., "single ", "batch ". |
"single " to generate a clip of speech, "batch " to generate a batch of speech at a time. |
--infer_text |
The text to be synthesized. | "This is a clip of generated speech with the given text from a TTS model. " |
--infer_text_prompt |
The text prompt for inference. | The text prompt should be aligned with the audio prompt. |
--infer_audio_prompt |
The audio prompt for inference. | The audio prompt should be aligned with text prompt. |
--test_list_file |
The test list file used for batch inference. | The format of test list file is text|text_prompt|audio_prompt . |
Run
For example, if you want to generate a single clip of speech, just run:
sh egs/tts/VALLE/run.sh --stage 3 --gpu "0" \
--infer_expt_dir Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName] \
--infer_output_dir Amphion/ckpts/tts/[YourExptName]/result \
--infer_mode "single" \
--infer_text "This is a clip of generated speech with the given text from a TTS model." \
--infer_text_prompt "But even the unsuccessful dramatist has his moments." \
--infer_audio_prompt egs/tts/VALLE/prompt_examples/7176_92135_000004_000000.wav
We have released pre-trained VALL-E models, so you can download the pre-trained model and then generate speech following the above inference instruction. Specifically,
- The pre-trained VALL-E trained on LibriTTS can be downloaded here.
- The pre-trained VALL-E trained on the part of Libri-light (about 6k hours) can be downloaded here.
