Model Details

Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

Vocos is a fast neural vocoder designed to synthesize audio waveforms from acoustic features. Unlike other typical GAN-based vocoders, Vocos does not model audio samples in the time domain. Instead, it generates spectral coefficients, facilitating rapid audio reconstruction through inverse Fourier transform.

This version of vocos uses 80-bin mel spectrograms as acoustic features which are widespread in the TTS domain since the introduction of hifi-gan The goal of this model is to provide an alternative to hifi-gan that is faster and compatible with the acoustic output of several TTS models.

We are grateful with the authors for open sourcing the code allowing us to modify and train this version.

Intended Uses and limitations

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

The model is aimed to serve as a vocoder to synthesize audio waveforms from mel spectrograms. Is trained to generate speech and if is used in other audio domain is possible that the model won't produce high quality samples.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

Installation

To use Vocos only in inference mode, install it using:

pip install git+https://github.com/langtech-bsc/vocos.git@matcha

Reconstruct audio from mel-spectrogram

import torch

from vocos import Vocos

vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("BSC-LT/vocos-mel-22khz")

mel = torch.randn(1, 80, 256)  # B, C, T
audio = vocos.decode(mel)

Integrate with existing TTS models:

Copy-synthesis from a file:

import torchaudio

y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
if y.size(0) > 1:  # mix to mono
    y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=22050)
y_hat = vocos(y)

Onnx

We also release a onnx version of the model, you can check in colab:

Training Details

Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

The model was trained on 4 speech datasets

Training Procedure

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

The model was trained for 1.8M steps and 183 epochs with a batch size of 16 for stability. We used a Cosine scheduler with a initial learning rate of 5e-4. We also modified the mel spectrogram loss to use 128 bins and fmax of 11025 instead of the same input mel spectrogram.

Training Hyperparameters

• initial_learning_rate: 5e-4
• scheduler: cosine without warmup or restarts
• mel_loss_coeff: 45
• mrd_loss_coeff: 0.1
• batch_size: 16
• num_samples: 16384

Evaluation

<!-- This section describes the evaluation protocols and provides the results. -->

Evaluation was done using the metrics on the original repo, after 183 epochs we achieve:

• val_loss: 3.81
• f1_score: 0.94
• mel_loss: 0.25
• periodicity_loss:0.132
• pesq_score: 3.16
• pitch_loss: 38.11
• utmos_score: 3.27
