copasul 1.3.0

Prosody stylization

CoPaSul - Contour-based, parametric, and superpositional intonation stylization

Author

• Uwe Reichel, Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest

Dependencies

• Python: >= 3.6
• Packages: see requirements.txt
• tested for Linux, might work for Windows

Installation

From PyPi

• set up a virtual environment venv_copasul, activate it, and install copasul. For Linux this works e.g. as follows:

$ virtualenv --python="/usr/bin/python3" venv_copasul
$ source venv_copasul/bin/activate
(venv_copasul) $ pip install copasul

From GitHub

• project URL: https://github.com/reichelu/copasul
• set up a virtual environment venv_copasul, activate it, and install requirements. For Linux this works e.g. as follows:

$ git clone [e-mail]:reichelu/copasul.git
$ cd copasul/
$ virtualenv --python="/usr/bin/python3" venv_copasul
$ source venv_copasul/bin/activate
(venv_copasul) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Required files

• audio (wav), f0, pulse, and annotation files (Textgrid), see on GitHub: tests/minex/input
  • f0 and pulse files can be generated with the help of the praat scripts on Github: scripts/*praat
• a config file (json), see on GitHub tests/minex/config/minex.json
  • see on Github docs/copasul_commented_config.json.txt and the article for further details

Call from terminal (if cloned from GitHub)

• see on GitHub project page scripts/run_copasul.py [-c myConfigFile.json]
• PROJECT_DIR: directory where GitHub project has been cloned

(venv_copasul) $ cd PROJECT_DIR/scripts/
(venv_copasul) $ python run_copasul.py -c ../tests/minex/config/minex.json

• if you use ../tests/minex/config/minex.json as config file, CoPaSul
  • processes the files in ../tests/minex/input/, and
  • outputs feature tables to ../tests/minex/output/test.FEATURESET.{csv, R}
  • outputs the CoPaSul output dict to ../tests/minex/output/test.pickle
  • this output dict can be used for further (warm start) processing
• if you use your own config file, make sure, that all directories in fsys:*:dir are either absolute paths or relative paths relative to your config file

Example integration into python code

import json
import pickle
import sys

# add this line if you use the cloned code from GitHub
# sys.path.append(PROJECT_DIR)

from copasul import copasul

# feature extractor
fex = copasul.Copasul()

# processing based on config file
config_file = MYCONFIGFILE.json
copa = fex.process(config=config_file)

# processing based on config dict
with open(config_file, 'r') as h:
    config_dict = json.load(h)
copa = fex.process(config=config_dict)

# warm start: continue processing
#   - implicit loading from config
config_dict["navigate"]["from_scratch"] = False
config_dict["navigate"]["overwrite_config"] = True
#     ... change further navigation values to your needs
copa = fex.process(config=config_dict)

#   - explicit loading from file
copa_file = MYCOPASULOUTPUT.pickle
config_dict["navigate"]["overwrite_config"] = True
#     ... change further navigation values to your needs
with open(copa_file, "rb") as h:
   copa = pickle.load(h)
copa_further_processed = fex.process(config=config_dict, copa=copa)
