MaskGCT: Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech with Masked Generative Codec Transformer

arXiv hf hf ModelScope ModelScope readme

Public beta version address 公测版地址: 趣丸千音

Overview

MaskGCT (Masked Generative Codec Transformer) is a fully non-autoregressive TTS model that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision, as well as phone-level duration prediction. MaskGCT is a two-stage model: in the first stage, the model uses text to predict semantic tokens extracted from a speech self-supervised learning (SSL) model, and in the second stage, the model predicts acoustic tokens conditioned on these semantic tokens. MaskGCT follows the mask-and-predict learning paradigm. During training, MaskGCT learns to predict masked semantic or acoustic tokens based on given conditions and prompts. During inference, the model generates tokens of a specified length in a parallel manner. Experiments with 100K hours of in-the-wild speech demonstrate that MaskGCT outperforms the current state-of-the-art zero-shot TTS systems in terms of quality, similarity, and intelligibility. Audio samples are available at demo page.



News

  • 2024/10/19: We release MaskGCT, a fully non-autoregressive TTS model that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision. MaskGCT is trained on Emilia dataset and achieves SOTA zero-shot TTS perfermance.

Issues

If you encounter any issue when using MaskGCT, feel free to open an issue in this repository. But please use English to describe, this will make it easier for keyword searching and more people to participate in the discussion.

Quickstart

To run this model, you need to follow the steps below:

  1. Clone the repository and install the environment.
  2. Run the Jupyter notebook / Gradio demo / Inference script.

Clone and Environment

This parts, follow the steps below to clone the repository and install the environment.

  1. Clone the repository, you can choose (a) partial clone or (b) full clone.
  2. Install the environment follow guide below.

1. (a) Partial clone

Since the whole Amphion repository is large, you can use sparse-checkout to download only the needed code.

# download meta info only
git clone --no-checkout --filter=blob:none https://github.com/open-mmlab/Amphion.git

# enter the repositry directory
cd Amphion

# setting sparse-checkout
git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set models/tts/maskgct

# download the needed code
git checkout main
git sparse-checkout add models/codec utils

1. (b) Full clone

If you prefer to download the whole repository, you can use the following command.

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/Amphion.git

# enter the repositry directory
cd Amphion

2. Install the environment

Before start installing, making sure you are under the Amphion directory. If not, use cd to enter.

Since we use phonemizer to convert text to phoneme, you need to install espeak-ng first. More details can be found here. Choose the correct installation command according to your operating system:

# For Debian-like distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc.)
sudo apt-get install espeak-ng
# For RedHat-like distribution (e.g. CentOS, Fedora, etc.) 
sudo yum install espeak-ng

# For Windows
# Please visit https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases to download .msi installer

Now, we are going to install the environment. It is recommended to use conda to configure:

conda create -n maskgct python=3.10
conda activate maskgct

pip install -r models/tts/maskgct/requirements.txt

If no error occurs, the environment is successfully installed. Now, you can choose you preferred way to run the model.

  • Run Gradio 🤗 Playground Locally
  • Jupyter Notebook
  • Inference Script

Run Gradio 🤗 Playground Locally

You can run the following command to interact with the playground:

python -m models.tts.maskgct.gradio_demo

Jupyter Notebook

We provide a Jupyter notebook to show how to use MaskGCT to inference.

You can open this notebook and start running.

Inference Script

If you do not want to use Juptyer notebook or Gradio, you can use the python inference script.

python -m models.tts.maskgct.maskgct_inference

Running this will automatically download the pretrained model from HuggingFace and start the inference process. The result audio is by default saved in generated_audio.wav, you can change this in the script.

Model Introduction

We provide the following pretrained checkpoints:

Model Name Description
Semantic Codec Converting speech to semantic tokens.
Acoustic Codec Converting speech to acoustic tokens and reconstructing waveform from acoustic tokens.
MaskGCT-T2S Predicting semantic tokens with text and prompt semantic tokens.
MaskGCT-S2A Predicts acoustic tokens conditioned on semantic tokens.

You can download all pretrained checkpoints from HuggingFace or use huggingface API.

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# download semantic codec ckpt
semantic_code_ckpt = hf_hub_download("amphion/MaskGCT", filename="semantic_codec/model.safetensors")

# same for other models

By running the Jupyter/Gradio/inference script, it will automatically download the pretrained model from HuggingFace.

If you having trouble connecting to HuggingFace, you try switch endpoint to mirror site:

export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com

Training Dataset

We use the Emilia dataset to train our models. Emilia is a multilingual and diverse in-the-wild speech dataset designed for large-scale speech generation. In this work, we use English and Chinese data from Emilia, each with 50K hours of speech (totaling 100K hours).
