# SepFormer trained on WHAMR! (16k sampling frequency)
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform audio source separation with a [SepFormer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.13154v2) model, implemented with SpeechBrain, and pretrained on [WHAMR!](http://wham.whisper.ai/) dataset with 16k sampling frequency, which is basically a version of WSJ0-Mix dataset with environmental noise and reverberation in 16k. For a better experience we encourage you to learn more about [SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). The given model performance is 13.5 dB SI-SNRi on the test set of WHAMR! dataset.

## Install SpeechBrain

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

```
pip install speechbrain
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about [SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Perform source separation on your own audio file

```python
from speechbrain.pretrained import SepformerSeparation as separator
import torchaudio

model = separator.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/sepformer-whamr16k", savedir='pretrained_models/sepformer-whamr16k')

# for custom file, change path
est_sources = model.separate_file(path='speechbrain/sepformer-whamr16k/test_mixture16k.wav') 

torchaudio.save("source1hat.wav", est_sources[:, :, 0].detach().cpu(), 16000)
torchaudio.save("source2hat.wav", est_sources[:, :, 1].detach().cpu(), 16000)


```
### 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 (fc2eabb7).
To train it from scratch follows these steps:
1. Clone SpeechBrain:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/
```
2. Install it:
```
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```

3. Run Training:
```
cd  recipes/WHAMandWHAMR/separation/
python train.py hparams/sepformer-whamr.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder --sample_rate=16000
```

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QiQhp1vi5t4UfNpNETA48_OmPiXnUy8O?usp=sharing).

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