# Mel-Spectrogram-based ECAPA-TDNN embeddings on Voxceleb
### Note: This is a work in progress. This model is intended to be used with a Zero-Shot Multi-Speaker Text-to-Speech (TTS) model available [here](https://huggingface.co/speechbrain/tts-mstacotron2-libritts).

This repository provides all the necessary tools to extract speaker embeddings using a pretrained ECAPA-TDNN model using SpeechBrain.
Please note that this model is created for zero-shot multi-speaker TTS, and uses a mel-spectrogram as the input feature. It is trained on Voxceleb 1+ Voxceleb2 training data.

## Pipeline description

This system is composed of an ECAPA-TDNN model. It is a combination of convolutional and residual blocks. The embeddings are extracted using attentive statistical pooling. The system is trained with Additive Margin Softmax Loss.

## 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).

### Compute your speaker embeddings

```python
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.encoders import MelSpectrogramEncoder
from speechbrain.utils.fetching import fetch
from speechbrain.utils.data_utils import split_path

spk_emb_encoder = MelSpectrogramEncoder.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/spkrec-ecapa-voxceleb-mel-spec")

INPUT_SPEECH = "speechbrain/asr-wav2vec2-commonvoice-en/example.wav"
source, fl = split_path(INPUT_SPEECH)
path = fetch(fl, source=source, savedir="tmpdir")
ref_signal, fs_file = torchaudio.load(path)
spk_embedding = spk_emb_encoder.encode_waveform(ref_signal)
```
The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel).


### 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:
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/VoxCeleb/SpeakerRec
python train_speaker_embeddings.py hparams/train_ecapa_tdnn_mel_spec.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder --sample_rate=16000
```

The training logs will be available here in the future.


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