We prefer to have discussions directly on Github issue page, so that all the information is transparent to all the contributors and is auto-archieved on the Github. If you wish to use email, please contact:

Star History

Contribution (pull request)

Guidelines:

• If you want to add new features (e.g. new upstream or new task), please discuss with us on the Github issue page first before implementing the actual pull request. So we can discuss about whether we want the feauture, how to achieve the feature, and whether the feature is maintainable. (As S3PRL is growing too large, we might not consider complex new features.) Thanks!
• Reporting bugs or the PR fixing the bugs is always welcome!

Steps:

1. Create a personal fork of the main S3PRL repository in GitHub.
2. Make your changes in a named branch different from master, e.g. you create a branch new-awesome-feature.
3. Contact us if you have any questions during development.
4. Generate a pull request through the Web interface of GitHub.
5. Please verify that your code is free of basic mistakes, we appreciate your contribution!

Environment compatibilities

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 , 1.13.1 , 2.0.1 , 2.1.0

Change Log

• Oct 2023: Support ESPnet pre-trained upstream models (see ESPnet HuBERT and WavLabLM)
• Sep 2022: We upgrade the codebase to support testing, documentation and a new s3prl PyPI package for easy installation and usage for upstream models. See our online doc for more information.
• 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!

Introduction and Usages

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

• Pretrain upstream models, including Mockingjay, Audio ALBERT and TERA.
• Document: pretrain/README.md

Upstream

• 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

Downstream

• 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!

Installation

1. Python >= 3.6
2. Install sox on your OS
3. Install s3prl: Read doc or pip install -e ".[all]"
4. (Optional) Some upstream models require special dependencies. If you encounter error with a specific upstream model, you can look into the README.md under each upstream folder. E.g., upstream/pase/README.md=
