Data Preparation

Video and Audio

• reference: https://github.com/facebookresearch/av_hubert/tree/main/avhubert/preparation
• ${ROOT}/datasets/${DATASET}/audio for processed audio files
• ${ROOT}/datasets/${DATASET}/video for processed video files
• ${ROOT}/datasets/${DATASET}/label/*.tsv for training manifests

Speech Units

• reference: https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq/tree/main/examples/textless_nlp/gslm/speech2unit
• 6th layer of HuBERT Base + KM200

• config

  filter_length: 640
  hop_length: 160
  win_length: 640
  n_mel_channels: 80
  sampling_rate: 16000
  mel_fmin: 0.0
  mel_fmax: 8000.0

We provide sample data in 'datasets/lrs3' directory.

Model Checkpoints

We use the pre-trained AV-HuBERT Large (LRS3 + VoxCeleb2 (En)) model available from here.

For inference, download the checkpoints and place them in the 'checkpoints' directory.

Training

scripts/${DATASET}/train.sh

in 'multi_target_lip2speech' and 'multi_input_vocoder' directory

Inference

scripts/${DATASET}/inference.sh

in 'multi_target_lip2speech' and 'multi_input_vocoder' directory

Acknowledgement

This repository is built using Fairseq, AV-HuBERT, ESPnet, speech-resynthesis. We appreciate the open source of the projects.
