Please first discuss with us on the issue page about your feature request before implementing the actual pull request, so we can discuss about how to achieve the functionality. If we did not discuss about the detail, it is highly possible that we are not accepting the pull request due to the difficulty of maintenance.
We support the following environments. The test cases are ran with tox locally and on github action:
| Env | versions |
|---|---|
| os | ubuntu-18.04, ubuntu-20.04 |
| python | 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 |
| pytorch | 1.8.1, 1.9.1, 1.10.2, 1.11.0, 1.12.1 |
Please note that
As the core developers and repository owners, Andy T. Liu and Shu-wen (Leo) Yang never forced others to contribute to the S3PRL project. Instead, most of the times people want and ask to contribute to this proejct. Feel free to ask old contributors to check. We built this project from scratch and developed most of the functions ourselves since 2019 and received huge amount of stars. There were around 400 stars before we started to develop SUPERB Benchmark. (Not to mention that we also recruited most of the first generation SUPERB team members at National Taiwan University ourselves and led the development of SUPERB and rebuilt the entire downstream evaluation codebase. No one ever paid us for building this project which we started ourselves in the hope to help others and we did. There are several papers using our upstream collection function citing the S3PRL github link before SUPERB's existence. For example, the S2VC paper in the Used by section below.) Hence people were interested to contribute to our project and develop new functions together. From our perspective, we were kind enough to help reviewing PRs and help others build their resume. (We could just refuse them in the beginning.) But later, someone started to question about our ownership on this repository and manipulate the information, just because we allowed others to contribute. This made us really disappointed. We hence thought about never allowing new contributions in the future. If any old contributors felt unhappy about the current situation, it is okay to dicuss about removing your previous contributions, and we are happy to help. Our principle is always to give the biggest credit to those who already contributed (especially who fought with us when no one knew S3PRL,) instead of someone wishing to take over the repository by undiscussed and overwhelming PRs after the repository is successful. We still welcome new contributions as long as the development is fully discussed and the new contributors accept our principle above. We are grateful and care about every precious old contributions and refuse to dilute old contributors' credit by accepting lots of new PRs. Please find the names below to know the people who put huge effort on making this project successful.
As a worth-mentioning point, we are not accepting new SUPERB development in the future. There are two major reasons:
- The SUPERB team members changed a lot and rapidly. Andy and Leo are not available to involve every new effort, hence we are afraid to accept undiscussed and unreviewed while huge amount of new implementations. We won't get benefit from helping reviewing these efforts, while people will further question about our ownership and try to take over it, and the new members might not always want to contribute to our project. Hence, there is no benefit to both sides.
- The current S3PRL is getting too large and becoming hard to maintain and keep the dependency small.
Hence, we will do our best in maintaining SUPERB and SUPERB-SG, and we believe it is better to let the new SUPERB members to maintain their own implementation in their own repositories, just like how we started from nothing when developing the first version of SUPERB. So both sides get proper credit to their own development.
- Mar 2022: Introduce SUPERB-SG, see Speech Translation by Hsiang-Sheng Tsai, Out-of-domain ASR by Heng-Jui Chang, Voice Conversion by Wen-Chin Huang, Speech Separation and Speech Enhancement by Zili Huang for more info.
- Nov 2021: Introduce S3PRL-VC by Wen-Chin Huang, see Any-to-one for more info. We highly recommend to consider the newly released official repo of S3PRL-VC which is developed and actively maintained by Wen-Chin Huang. The standalone repo contains much more recepies for the VC experiments. In S3PRL we only include the Any-to-one recipe for reproducing the SUPERB results.
- Oct 2021: Support DistilHuBERT by Heng-Jui Chang, see docs for more info
- Sep 2021: We host a challenge in AAAI workshop: The 2nd Self-supervised Learning for Audio and Speech Processing! See SUPERB official site for the challenge details and the SUPERB documentation in this toolkit!
- Aug 2021: We now have a tutorial that introduces our toolkit, you can watch it on Youtube!
- July 2021: We are now working on packaging s3prl and reorganizing the file structure in v0.3. Please consider using the stable v0.2.0 for now. We will test and release v0.3 before August.
- June 2021: Support SUPERB: Speech processing Universal PERformance Benchmark, submitted to Interspeech 2021. Use the tag superb-interspeech2021 or v0.2.0. The individual task contributors include: Shu-wen (Leo) Yang, Pohan Chi, Yist Lin, Yung-Sung Chuang, Jiatong Shi, Xuankai, Wei-Cheng Tseng and Tzu-Hsien Huang.
- June 2021: Support extracting multiple hidden states from the SSL pretrained models
- Jan 2021: Readme updated with detailed instructions on how to use our latest version!
- Dec 2020: We are migrating to a newer version for a more general, flexible, and scalable code. See the introduction below for more information! The legacy version can be accessed the tag v0.1.0.
- Oct 2020: We added lots of classic upstream models, including PASE+, APC, VQ-APC, NPC, wav2vec, vq-wav2vec ...etc.
- Oct 2019: Andy T. Liu, Shu-wen (Leo) Yang and Pohan Chi implemented the Mockingjay pre-training and several simple downstream evaluation tasks. This work was the very start of the S3PRL project which established lots of foundamental modules and coding styles. Feel free to checkout to the oldest commits to explore our legacy codebase!
This is an open source toolkit called s3prl, which stands for Self-Supervised Speech Pre-training and Representation Learning. Self-supervised speech pre-trained models are called upstream in this toolkit, and are utilized in various downstream tasks.
The toolkit has three major usages:
- Pretrain upstream models, including Mockingjay, Audio ALBERT and TERA.
- Document: pretrain/README.md
- Easily load most of the existing upstream models with pretrained weights in a unified I/O interface.
- Pretrained models are registered through torch.hub, which means you can use these models in your own project by one-line plug-and-play without depending on this toolkit's coding style.
- Document: upstream/README.md
- Utilize upstream models in lots of downstream tasks
- Benchmark upstream models with SUPERB Benchmark
- Document: downstream/README.md
Below is an intuitive illustration on how this toolkit may help you:
Feel free to use or modify our toolkit in your research. Here is a list of papers using our toolkit. Any question, bug report or improvement suggestion is welcome through opening up a new issue.
If you find this toolkit helpful to your research, please do consider citing our papers, thanks!
- Python >= 3.6
- Install sox on your OS
- Install s3prl: Read doc or
pip install -e ".[all]" - (Optional) Some upstream models require special dependencies. If you encounter error with a specific upstream model, you can look into the
README.mdunder eachupstreamfolder. E.g.,upstream/pase/README.md
- Create a personal fork of the main S3PRL repository in GitHub.
- Make your changes in a named branch different from
master, e.g. you create a branchnew-awesome-feature. - Contact us if you have any questions during development.
- Generate a pull request through the Web interface of GitHub.
- Please verify that your code is free of basic mistakes, we appreciate any contribution!
