README

Tacotron 2 (without wavenet)

Tacotron 2 PyTorch implementation of Natural TTS Synthesis By Conditioning Wavenet On Mel Spectrogram Predictions.

This implementation includes distributed and fp16 support and uses the LJSpeech dataset.

Distributed and FP16 support relies on work by Christian Sarofeen and NVIDIA's Apex Library.

Pre-requisites

1. NVIDIA GPU + CUDA cuDNN

Setup

1. Download and extract the LJ Speech dataset
2. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2.git
3. CD into this repo: cd tacotron2
4. Update .wav paths: sed -i -- 's,DUMMY,ljs_dataset_folder/wavs,g' filelists/*.txt
   • Alternatively, set load_mel_from_disk=True in hparams.py and update mel-spectrogram paths
5. Install pytorch 0.4
6. Install python requirements or build docker image
   • Install python requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • OR
   • Build docker image: docker build --tag tacotron2 .

Training

1. python train.py --output_directory=outdir --log_directory=logdir
2. (OPTIONAL) tensorboard --logdir=outdir/logdir

Multi-GPU (distributed) and FP16 Training

1. python -m multiproc train.py --output_directory=outdir --log_directory=logdir --hparams=distributed_run=True,fp16_run=True

Inference

1. jupyter notebook --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=31337
2. load inference.ipynb
