DAC

Overview

The DAC model was proposed in Descript Audio Codec: High-Fidelity Audio Compression with Improved RVQGAN by Rithesh Kumar, Prem Seetharaman, Alejandro Luebs, Ishaan Kumar, Kundan Kumar.

The Descript Audio Codec (DAC) model is a powerful tool for compressing audio data, making it highly efficient for storage and transmission. By compressing 44.1 KHz audio into tokens at just 8kbps bandwidth, the DAC model enables high-quality audio processing while significantly reducing the data footprint. This is particularly useful in scenarios where bandwidth is limited or storage space is at a premium, such as in streaming applications, remote conferencing, and archiving large audio datasets.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Language models have been successfully used to model natural signals, such as images, speech, and music. A key component of these models is a high quality neural compression model that can compress high-dimensional natural signals into lower dimensional discrete tokens. To that end, we introduce a high-fidelity universal neural audio compression algorithm that achieves ~90x compression of 44.1 KHz audio into tokens at just 8kbps bandwidth. We achieve this by combining advances in high-fidelity audio generation with better vector quantization techniques from the image domain, along with improved adversarial and reconstruction losses. We compress all domains (speech, environment, music, etc.) with a single universal model, making it widely applicable to generative modeling of all audio. We compare with competing audio compression algorithms, and find our method outperforms them significantly. We provide thorough ablations for every design choice, as well as open-source code and trained model weights. We hope our work can lay the foundation for the next generation of high-fidelity audio modeling.

This model was contributed by Kamil Akesbi. The original code can be found here.

Model structure

The Descript Audio Codec (DAC) model is structured into three distinct stages:

  1. Encoder Model: This stage compresses the input audio, reducing its size while retaining essential information.
  2. Residual Vector Quantizer (RVQ) Model: Working in tandem with the encoder, this model quantizes the latent codes of the audio, refining the compression and ensuring high-quality reconstruction.
  3. Decoder Model: This final stage reconstructs the audio from its compressed form, restoring it to a state that closely resembles the original input.

Usage example

Here is a quick example of how to encode and decode an audio using this model:

>>> from datasets import load_dataset, Audio
>>> from transformers import DacModel, AutoProcessor
>>> librispeech_dummy = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")

>>> model = DacModel.from_pretrained("descript/dac_16khz")
>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("descript/dac_16khz")
>>> librispeech_dummy = librispeech_dummy.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=processor.sampling_rate))
>>> audio_sample = librispeech_dummy[-1]["audio"]["array"]
>>> inputs = processor(raw_audio=audio_sample, sampling_rate=processor.sampling_rate, return_tensors="pt")

>>> encoder_outputs = model.encode(inputs["input_values"])
>>> # Get the intermediate audio codes
>>> audio_codes = encoder_outputs.audio_codes
>>> # Reconstruct the audio from its quantized representation
>>> audio_values = model.decode(encoder_outputs.quantized_representation)
>>> # or the equivalent with a forward pass
>>> audio_values = model(inputs["input_values"]).audio_values

DacConfig

class transformers.DacConfig

< >

( encoder_hidden_size = 64 downsampling_ratios = [2, 4, 8, 8] decoder_hidden_size = 1536 n_codebooks = 9 codebook_size = 1024 codebook_dim = 8 quantizer_dropout = 0 commitment_loss_weight = 0.25 codebook_loss_weight = 1.0 sampling_rate = 16000 **kwargs )

Parameters

  • encoder_hidden_size (int, optional, defaults to 64) — Intermediate representation dimension for the encoder.
  • downsampling_ratios (List[int], optional, defaults to [2, 4, 8, 8]) — Ratios for downsampling in the encoder. These are used in reverse order for upsampling in the decoder.
  • decoder_hidden_size (int, optional, defaults to 1536) — Intermediate representation dimension for the decoder.
  • n_codebooks (int, optional, defaults to 9) — Number of codebooks in the VQVAE.
  • codebook_size (int, optional, defaults to 1024) — Number of discrete codes in each codebook.
  • codebook_dim (int, optional, defaults to 8) — Dimension of the codebook vectors. If not defined, uses encoder_hidden_size.
  • quantizer_dropout (bool, optional, defaults to 0) — Whether to apply dropout to the quantizer.
  • commitment_loss_weight (float, optional, defaults to 0.25) — Weight of the commitment loss term in the VQVAE loss function.
  • codebook_loss_weight (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) — Weight of the codebook loss term in the VQVAE loss function.
  • sampling_rate (int, optional, defaults to 16000) — The sampling rate at which the audio waveform should be digitalized expressed in hertz (Hz).

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of an DacModel. It is used to instantiate a Dac model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the descript/dac_16khz architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import DacModel, DacConfig

>>> # Initializing a "descript/dac_16khz" style configuration
>>> configuration = DacConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the "descript/dac_16khz" style configuration
>>> model = DacModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

DacFeatureExtractor

class transformers.DacFeatureExtractor

< >

( feature_size: int = 1 sampling_rate: int = 16000 padding_value: float = 0.0 hop_length: int = 512 **kwargs )

Parameters

  • feature_size (int, optional, defaults to 1) — The feature dimension of the extracted features. Use 1 for mono, 2 for stereo.
  • sampling_rate (int, optional, defaults to 16000) — The sampling rate at which the audio waveform should be digitalized, expressed in hertz (Hz).

This feature extractor inherits from SequenceFeatureExtractor which contains most of the main methods. Users should refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.

__call__

Parameters

  • raw_audio (np.ndarray, List[float], List[np.ndarray], List[List[float]]) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be processed. Each sequence can be a numpy array, a list of float values, a list of numpy arrays or a list of list of float values. The numpy array must be of shape (num_samples,) for mono audio (feature_size = 1), or (2, num_samples) for stereo audio (feature_size = 2).
  • padding (bool, str or PaddingStrategy, optional, defaults to True) — Select a strategy to pad the returned sequences (according to the model’s padding side and padding index) among:

    • True or 'longest': Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single sequence if provided).
    • 'max_length': Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument max_length or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
    • False or 'do_not_pad' (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different lengths).
  • truncation (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Activates truncation to cut input sequences longer than max_length to max_length.
  • max_length (int, optional) — Maximum length of the returned list and optionally padding length (see above).
  • return_tensors (str or TensorType, optional, default to ‘pt’) — If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:

    • 'tf': Return TensorFlow tf.constant objects.
    • 'pt': Return PyTorch torch.Tensor objects.
    • 'np': Return Numpy np.ndarray objects.
  • sampling_rate (int, optional) — The sampling rate at which the audio input was sampled. It is strongly recommended to pass sampling_rate at the forward call to prevent silent errors.

Main method to featurize and prepare for the model one or several sequence(s).

DacModel

The DacModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.
