Emotion Diarization with WavLM Large on 5 popular emotional datasets.

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform speech emotion diarization with a fine-tuned wavlm (large) model using SpeechBrain.

The model is trained on concatenated audios and tested on ZaionEmotionDataset. The metric is Emotion Diarization Error Rate (EDER). For more details please check the paper link.

For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain. The model performance on ZED (test set) is:

Release	EDER(%)
19-10-21	29.7 (Avg: 30.2)

Pipeline description

This system is composed of an wavlm model. It is a combination of convolutional and residual blocks. The task aimes to predict the correct emotion composants and their boundaries within an utterance. For now, the model was trained with audios that contain only 1 non-neutral emotion event.

The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling diarize_file if needed.

Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install the development version of SpeechBrain with the following command:

pip install speechbrain

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain.

Perform Speech Emotion Diarization

An external py_module_file=custom.py is used as an external Predictor class into this HF repos. We use foreign_class function from speechbrain.pretrained.interfaces that allow you to load you custom model.

from speechbrain.pretrained.interfaces import foreign_class
classifier = foreign_class(
    source="speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large",
    pymodule_file="custom_interface.py",
    classname="Speech_Emotion_Diarization"
)
diary = classifier.diarize_file("speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large/example.wav")
print(diary)

The output will contain a dictionary of emotion composants and their boundaries.

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain (aa018540). To train it from scratch follows these steps:

Clone SpeechBrain:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/

Install it:

cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Run Training:

cd  recipes/ZaionEmotionDataset/emotion_diarization
python train.py hparams/train.yaml --zed_folder /path/to/ZED --emovdb_folder /path/to/EmoV-DB --esd_folder /path/to/ESD --iemocap_folder /path/to/IEMOCAP --jlcorpus_folder /path/to/JL_corpus --ravdess_folder /path/to/RAVDESS

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](to be added).

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
