UniAudio: An Audio Foundation Model Toward Universal Audio Generation

Overview

Demo page: http://dongchaoyang.top/UniAudio_demo/
paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.00704.pdf
UniAudio is a universal audio generation model, which can solve a lot of audio generation task with one model, such as TTS, VC, Singing voice synthesis, speech enhancement, speech extraction, text-to-sound, text-to-music, speech edit, audio edit, instructed TTS, and speech dereverberation. In the following, we will give the details of UniAudio. UniAudio supports user to define any task, we expect more researcher can join us.

Neural Audio Codec Models: The whole training code for neural audio codec models
Top-level Design: How to design a framework that support users to define their tasks.
Training own UniAudio for any task with your own dataset: The details of training process

The overview of UniAudio as following picture shows.

The more details will be updatad soon.

Neural Audio Codec Models

Please refer to codec folder to find the training codec of Neural Audio Codec.

Top-level Design

The framework of UniAudio is very simple and useful. It includes 4 steps: (1) define your task. (2) prepare data. (3) tokenize data and save it as .pth file. (4) Training and inference

Training the UniAudio

We give an example of UniAudio to train TTS in LibriTTS

Environment

Firstly, create environment for UniAudio.

conda create -n uniaudio python=3.8
conda init
source ~/.bashrc
conda activate uniaudio

Then:

cd UniAudio
bash requirements.sh
bash UniAudio/download.sh

TTS example

Define the task

You can define the task format in the utils/task_definition.py

tts_format = {
    'keys': ["phone_seq", "prompt_seq", "audio_seq"],
    'type': ["phone", "audio_prompt", "audio"],
    'features': [],
    'loss_key': 'audio_seq',
}

After that, the dataloader of UniAudio will combine the phone_seq and audio_seq as one single sequence based on your definition, so that LM can process it.

Prepare Dataset

We give an example to prepare data with LibriTTS. Firstly, you should download the dataset.

wget https://www.openslr.org/resources/60/train-clean-100.tar.gz
wget https://www.openslr.org/resources/60/train-clean-360.tar.gz
wget https://www.openslr.org/resources/60/test-clean.tar.gz # for evaluation
wget https://www.openslr.org/resources/60/train-other-500.tar.gz
tar -zxvf train-clean-100.tar.gz
tar -zxvf train-clean-360.tar.gz
tar -zxvf test-clean.tar.gz
tar -zxvf train-other-500.tar.gz

Secondly, please prepare the wav.scp file based on your data path, see UniAudio/egs/TTS/data/train/wav.scp find the format of wav.scp.
Thirdly, you should prepare the phone.scp file, an example can be found in UniAudio/egs/TTS/data/train/phone.scp
You can use UniAudio/tools/tokenizer/phone/text_tokenizer.py to get the phone.scp.
Third, prepare utt2spk file, see an example in UniAudio/egs/TTS/data/train/utt2spk
After that, put your wav.scp, phone.scp and utt2spk into UniAudio/egs/TTS/data/train folder, similarly, you also should prepare the val set in UniAudio/egs/TTS/data/val folder

Lastly, tokenize the audio and phone into tokens. Note that, you should set the number of GPUs, you want to use.

cd UniAudio/egs/TTS
bash run.sh --stage 2 --stop_stage 4

The details of annotation can be found in run.sh

Train TTS task with UniAudio

cd UniAudio/egs/TTS
bash run.sh --stage 5 --stop_stage 5

Inference

cd UniAudio/egs/TTS
bash run.sh --stage 6 --stop_stage 6

Using UniAudio framework to do more audio related tasks

In previous section, we give the details of how to train a TTS task with UniAudio. In the future, we will try to give more tasks's details, including:

TTS in LibriLight
VC in Librilight
SE
TSE
Text-to-sound and music
Sing Voice Generation

Excepting the 11 tasks presented in the paper, UniAudio also can other tasks, e.g. ASR, speaker verification, audio classification, and so on. But the performance of these tasks still has gap with other SOTAs.

Training All of Tasks using one model

It is easy to train all of tasks using UniAudio, when differnt tasks of data has ready.

Todo

The first version of UniAudio, give an example to train TTS task in LibriTTS dataset.
Add more task into egs
Give more comprehensive documentation for UniAudio
Combine all of task
Give scripts to simulate speech enhancement and target speaker extraction data.
Give more detailed information for evaluation scripts.
