EH-MAM: Easy-to-Hard Masked Acoustic Modeling for Self-Supervised Speech Representation Learning

Setup

• Codebase preparation (based on fairseq)

# we use fairseq to build the model
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq
cd fairseq
pip install --editable ./

# plug in for EH-MAM
replace all the files in examples/data2vec with ehmam

• Data preparation: please follow instruction provided by wav2vec2 for pre-training/fine-tuning data preprocessing

Usage

• Training

  For the list of hyper-parameters, see config file.

# minimal example to reproduce model
$ python fairseq_cli/hydra_train.py -m --config-dir examples/data2vec/config/v2 \
--config-name base_audio_only_task task.data=/path/to/manifests &

• Loading pre-trained model as python object

import fairseq
import argparse
code_path = "examples/data2vec"
fairseq.utils.import_user_module(argparse.Namespace(user_dir=code_path))
ckpt_path = "/path/to/the/checkpoint.pt"
models, cfg, task = fairseq.checkpoint_utils.load_model_ensemble_and_task([ckpt_path])
model = models[0]

• Fine-tuning pre-trained checkpoint as ASR

# minimal example for fine-tuning with 100hr data
python fairseq_cli/hydra_train.py -m \
        --config-dir examples/wav2vec/config/finetuning \
        --config-name base_100h \
        common.user_dir=examples/data2vec \
        task.data=/path/to/labeled/librispeech/ \
        model.w2v_path=/path/to/ehmam.ckpt \
        task.normalize=True
