Install

• PyTorch 0.4.1+
• Python3 (Recommend Anaconda)
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• If you need to convert wjs0 to wav format and generate mixture files, cd tools; make

Usage

If you already have mixture wsj0 data:

1. $ cd egs/wsj0, modify wsj0 data path data to your path in the beginning of run.sh.
2. $ bash run.sh, that's all!

If you just have origin wsj0 data (sphere format):

1. $ cd egs/wsj0, modify three wsj0 data path to your path in the beginning of run.sh.
2. Convert sphere format wsj0 to wav format and generate mixture. Stage 0 part provides an example.
3. $ bash run.sh, that's all!

You can change hyper-parameter by $ bash run.sh --parameter_name parameter_value, egs, $ bash run.sh --stage 3. See parameter name in egs/aishell/run.sh before . utils/parse_options.sh.

Workflow

Workflow of egs/wsj0/run.sh:

• Stage 0: Convert sphere format to wav format and generate mixture (optional)
• Stage 1: Generating json files including wav path and duration
• Stage 2: Training
• Stage 3: Evaluate separation performance
• Stage 4: Separate speech using TasNet

More detail

# Set PATH and PYTHONPATH
$ cd egs/wsj0/; . ./path.sh
# Train:
$ train.py -h
# Evaluate performance:
$ evaluate.py -h
# Separate mixture audio:
$ separate.py -h

How to visualize loss?

If you want to visualize your loss, you can use visdom to do that:

1. Open a new terminal in your remote server (recommend tmux) and run $ visdom
2. Open a new terminal and run $ bash run.sh --visdom 1 --visdom_id "<any-string>" or $ train.py ... --visdom 1 --vidsdom_id "<any-string>"
3. Open your browser and type <your-remote-server-ip>:8097, egs, 127.0.0.1:8097
4. In visdom website, chose <any-string> in Environment to see your loss

How to resume training?

$ bash run.sh --continue_from <model-path>
