Unofficial implementation of the paper P-Flow: A Fast and Data-Efficient Zero-Shot TTS through Speech Prompting by NVIDIA.

While recent large-scale neural codec language models have shown significant improvement in zero-shot TTS by training on thousands of hours of data, they suffer from drawbacks such as a lack of robustness, slow sampling speed similar to previous autoregressive TTS methods, and reliance on pre-trained neural codec representations. Our work proposes P-Flow, a fast and data-efficient zero-shot TTS model that uses speech prompts for speaker adaptation. P-Flow comprises a speechprompted text encoder for speaker adaptation and a flow matching generative decoder for high-quality and fast speech synthesis. Our speech-prompted text encoder uses speech prompts and text input to generate speaker-conditional text representation. The flow matching generative decoder uses the speaker-conditional output to synthesize high-quality personalized speech significantly faster than in real-time. Unlike the neural codec language models, we specifically train P-Flow on LibriTTS dataset using a continuous mel-representation. Through our training method using continuous speech prompts, P-Flow matches the speaker similarity performance of the large-scale zero-shot TTS models with two orders of magnitude less training data and has more than 20× faster sampling speed. Our results show that P-Flow has better pronunciation and is preferred in human likeness and speaker similarity to its recent state-of-the-art counterparts, thus defining P-Flow as an attractive and desirable alternative.

Quick run in Google Colab

Instructions to run

0. Create an environment (suggested but optional)

conda create -n pflowtts python=3.10 -y
conda activate pflowtts

Stay in the root directory (of course clone the repo first!)

cd pflowtts_pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Build Monotonic Alignment Search

# Cython-version Monotonoic Alignment Search
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Let's assume we are training with LJ Speech

2. Download the dataset from here, extract it to data/LJSpeech-1.1, and prepare the file lists to point to the extracted data like for item 5 in the setup of the NVIDIA Tacotron 2 repo.

3a. Go to configs/data/ljspeech.yaml and change

train_filelist_path: data/filelists/ljs_audio_text_train_filelist.txt
valid_filelist_path: data/filelists/ljs_audio_text_val_filelist.txt

3b. Helper commands for the lazy

!mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists
!wget -O /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/ljs_audio_text_test_filelist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2/master/filelists/ljs_audio_text_test_filelist.txt
!wget -O /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/ljs_audio_text_train_filelist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2/master/filelists/ljs_audio_text_train_filelist.txt
!wget -O /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/ljs_audio_text_val_filelist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2/master/filelists/ljs_audio_text_val_filelist.txt

!sed -i -- 's,DUMMY,/home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/wavs,g' /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/*.txt

!sed -i -- 's,train_filelist_path: data/filelists/ljs_audio_text_train_filelist.txt,train_filelist_path: /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/ljs_audio_text_train_filelist.txt,g' /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/pflowtts_pytorch/configs/data/ljspeech.yaml
!sed -i -- 's,valid_filelist_path: data/filelists/ljs_audio_text_val_filelist.txt,valid_filelist_path: /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/LJSpeech-1.1/filelists/ljs_audio_text_val_filelist.txt,g' /home/ubuntu/LJSpeech/pflowtts_pytorch/configs/data/ljspeech.yaml

4. Generate normalisation statistics with the yaml file of dataset configuration

cd pflowtts_pytorch/pflow/utils
python generate_data_statistics.py -i ljspeech.yaml
# Output:
#{'mel_mean': -5.53662231756592, 'mel_std': 2.1161014277038574}

Update these values in configs/data/ljspeech.yaml under data_statistics key.

data_statistics:  # Computed for ljspeech dataset
  mel_mean: -5.536622
  mel_std: 2.116101

to the paths of your train and validation filelists.

5. Run the training script

python pflow/train.py experiment=ljspeech

• for multi-gpu training, run

python pflow/train.py experiment=ljspeech trainer.devices=[0,1]

Architecture details

• Speech prompted text encoder with Prenet and RoPE Transformer
• Duration predictor with MAS
• Flow matching generative decoder with CFM (paper uses wavenet decoder; we use modified wavenet and optional U-NET decoder is included to experiment with)
• Speech prompt input currently slices the input spectrogram and concatenates it with the text embedding. Can support external speech prompt input (during training as well)
• pflow prompt masking loss for training
• HiFiGan for vocoder
• Guidance for sampling

TODOs, features and update notes

• (11/12/2023) Currently it is an experimental repo with many features substituted with quick architecture implementations I found online. I will add the original architectures soon.
• (11/12/2023) Check out notebooks for a quick dry run and architecture testing of the model.
• (11/12/2023) Training fails on my dataset at the moment, will debug and fix it soon. But the training the code runs error-free.
• (11/13/2023)
  • fixed big mistake in monotonic align build
  • lot of combinations possible within model
  • architecture big picture is same like paper, but internals are different
  • if model doesnt converge, will eventually settle to paper's exact architecture
• (11/13/2023) Tensorboard screenshot
• (11/13/2023)
  • added installation instructions
• (11/13/2023)
  • looks like the model is learning and is on the right track.
• (11/14/2023)
• (11/14/2023)
  • added Google Colab notebook for quick run
• (11/16/2023)
  • added sample audio
  • some architecture changes
  • we know the model learns, now we need to try multispeaker and check for prosody.
• (11/17/2023)
  • added 3 new branches ->
    • dev/stochastic -> some changes to posterior sampling and text encoder (prior) to make it stochastic
    • dev/encodec -> predicts encodec continuous latent instead of mel spectrogram; if works, use encodec for decoding instead of hifi-gan
    • exp/end2end -> end to end training of pflow with hi-fi gan to generate audio directly from text and speech prompt input; if it works, vits-tts will be obsolete.
• (11/17/2023)
  • 24 epochs encodec sample (although robotic, it is a proof of concept) encodec_poc.wav
• (11/20/2023)
  • Model is more or less ready.

  • Thanks to @zidsi for pointing out typos in the code.
• (11/23/2023)
  • Added newer samples with better prosody and pronunciation. Check out samples folder. (LJSpeech trained for 300k steps) Paper recommends 800k steps.
