This project is on going. You can find the paper on https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.02765.pdf
Furthermore, this project is lanched from University, we expect more researchers to be the contributor.
Audio codec models are widely used in audio communication as a crucial technique for compressing audio into discrete representations. Nowadays, audio codec models are increasingly utilized in generation fields as intermediate representations. For instance, AudioLM is ann audio generation model that uses the discrete representation of SoundStream as a training target, while VALL-E employs the Encodec model as an intermediate feature to aid TTS tasks. Despite their usefulness, two challenges persist: (1) training these audio codec models can be difficult due to the lack of publicly available training processes and the need for large-scale data and GPUs; (2) achieving good reconstruction performance requires many codebooks, which increases the burden on generation models. In this study, we propose a group-residual vector quantization (GRVQ) technique and use it to develop a novel \textbf{Hi}gh \textbf{Fi}delity Audio Codec model, HiFi-Codec, which only requires 4 codebooks. We train all the models using publicly available TTS data such as LibriTTS, VCTK, AISHELL, and more, with a total duration of over 1000 hours, using 8 GPUs. Our experimental results show that HiFi-Codec outperforms Encodec in terms of reconstruction performance despite requiring only 4 codebooks. To facilitate research in audio codec and generation, we introduce AcademiCodec, the first open-source audio codec toolkit that offers training codes and pre-trained models for Encodec, SoundStream, and HiFi-Codec.
- 2023.4.16: We first release the training code for Encodec and SoundStream and our pre-trained models, includes 24khz and 16khz.
- 2023.5.5: We release the code of HiFi-Codec.
- 2023.6.2: Add
HiFi-Codec-24k-320d/infer.ipynb, which can be used to infer acoustic tokens to use for later training of VALL-E, SoundStorm and etc. - 2023.06.13: Refactor the code structure.
- PyTorch version >= 1.13.0
- Python version >= 3.8
please refer to the specific version.
Just prepare your audio data in one folder. Make sure the sample rate is right.
Refer to the specical folders, e.g. Encodec_24k_240d represent, the Encodec model, sample rate is 24khz, downsample rate is 240. If you want to use our pre-trained models, please refer to https://huggingface.co/Dongchao/AcademiCodec/tree/main
- Encodec_16k_320, we train it using 16khz audio, and we set the downsample as 320, which can be used to train SpearTTS
- Encodec_24k_240d, we train it using 24khz audio, and we set the downsample as 240, which can be used to InstructTTS
- Encodec_24k_32d, we train it using 24khz audio, we only set the downsample as 32, which can only use one codebook, such as AudioGen.
- SoundStream_24k_240d, the same configuration as Encodec_24k_240d.
In our view, the mian difference between SoundStream and Encodec is the different Discriminator choice. For Encodec, it only uses a STFT-dicriminator, which forces the STFT-spectrogram be more real. SoundStream use two types of Discriminator, one forces the waveform-level to be more real, one forces the specrogram-level to be more real. In our code, we adopt the waveform-level discriminator from HIFI-GAN. The spectrogram level discrimimator from Encodec. In thoery, we think SoundStream enjoin better performance. Actually, Google's offical SoundStream proves this, Google can only use 3 codebooks to reconstruct a audio with high-quality. Although our implements can also use 3 codebooks to realize good performance, we admit our version cannot be compared with Google now.
For the HiFi-Codec, which is our proposed novel methods, which aims to help to some generation tasks. Such as VALL-E, AudioLM, MusicLM, SpearTTS, IntructTTS and so on. HiFi-Codec codebook only needs 4 codebooks, which significantly reduce the token numbers. Some researchers use our HiFi-Codec to implement VALL-E, which proves that can get better audio quality.
