TransformerTTS

PaddlePaddle dynamic graph implementation of TransformerTTS, a neural TTS with Transformer. The implementation is based on Neural Speech Synthesis with Transformer Network.

Dataset

We experiment with the LJSpeech dataset. Download and unzip LJSpeech.

Model Architecture

TransformerTTS model architecture

The model adopts the multi-head attention mechanism to replace the RNN structures and also the original attention mechanism in Tacotron2. The model consists of two main parts, encoder and decoder. We also implement the CBHG model of Tacotron as the vocoder part and convert the spectrogram into raw wave using Griffin-Lim algorithm.

Train Transformer

TransformerTTS model can be trained with train_transformer.py.

python train_trasformer.py \
--use_gpu=1 \
--use_data_parallel=0 \
--data_path=${DATAPATH} \
--config_path='config/train_transformer.yaml' \

Or you can run the script file directly.

sh train_transformer.sh

If you want to train on multiple GPUs, you must set --use_data_parallel=1, and then start training as follows:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python -m paddle.distributed.launch --selected_gpus=0,1,2,3 --log_dir ./mylog train_transformer.py \
--use_gpu=1 \
--use_data_parallel=1 \
--data_path=${DATAPATH} \
--config_path='config/train_transformer.yaml' \

If you wish to resume from an existing model, please set --checkpoint_path and --transformer_step.

For more help on arguments: python train_transformer.py --help.

Train Vocoder

Vocoder model can be trained with train_vocoder.py.

python train_vocoder.py \
--use_gpu=1 \
--use_data_parallel=0 \
--data_path=${DATAPATH} \
--config_path='config/train_vocoder.yaml' \

Or you can run the script file directly.

sh train_vocoder.sh

If you want to train on multiple GPUs, you must set --use_data_parallel=1, and then start training as follows:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python -m paddle.distributed.launch --selected_gpus=0,1,2,3 --log_dir ./mylog train_vocoder.py \
--use_gpu=1 \
--use_data_parallel=1 \
--data_path=${DATAPATH} \
--config_path='config/train_vocoder.yaml' \

If you wish to resume from an existing model, please set --checkpoint_path and --vocoder_step.

For more help on arguments: python train_vocoder.py --help.

Synthesis

After training the TransformerTTS and vocoder model, audio can be synthesized with synthesis.py.

python synthesis.py \
--max_len=50 \
--transformer_step=160000 \
--vocoder_step=70000 \
--use_gpu=1
--checkpoint_path='./checkpoint' \
--sample_path='./sample' \
--config_path='config/synthesis.yaml' \

Or you can run the script file directly.

sh synthesis.sh

And the audio file will be saved in --sample_path.

For more help on arguments: python synthesis.py --help.
