FastSpeech2 with the LJSpeech-1.1

This example contains code used to train a Fastspeech2 model with LJSpeech-1.1.

Dataset

Download and Extract the datasaet

Download LJSpeech-1.1 from the official website.

Get MFA result of LJSpeech-1.1 and Extract it

We use MFA to get durations for fastspeech2. You can download from here ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz, or train your own MFA model reference to use_mfa example of our repo.

Preprocess the dataset

Assume the path to the dataset is ~/datasets/LJSpeech-1.1. Assume the path to the MFA result of LJSpeech-1.1 is ./ljspeech_alignment. Run the command below to preprocess the dataset.

./preprocess.sh

When it is done. A dump folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.

dump
├── dev
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
└── train
    ├── energy_stats.npy
    ├── norm
    ├── pitch_stats.npy
    ├── raw
    └── speech_stats.npy

The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely train, dev and test, each of which contains a norm and raw sub folder. The raw folder contains speech、pitch and energy features of each utterances, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in dump/train/*_stats.npy.

Also there is a metadata.jsonl in each subfolder. It is a table-like file which contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, durations, path of speech features, path of pitch features, path of energy features, speaker and id of each utterance.

Train the model

./run.sh calls ../train.py.
