Note: If you just want to train StyleDubber on the GRID dataset, you only need to download the files in 0_Grid_Wav_22050_Abs_Feature (Preprocessed data features) and Grid_resample_ABS (Ground truth waveform used for testing). If you're going to plot and display, use it for other tasks (lip reading, ASV, etc.), or re-preprocess features on your way, you can download the rest of the files you need 😊.

├── GT_Wav （GoogleDrive ✅）
                  
            └── [22050 Hz ground truth Audio Files in .wav] 

Note: For training on V2C-Animation, you need to download the files in Phoneme_level_Feature (Preprocessed data features) and GT_Wav (Ground truth waveform used for testing). Other visual images (e.g., face and lip regions) in intermediate processes can be accessed at HPMDubbing.

Quick Q&A: HPMDubbing also has pre-processed features. Are they the same？ Can I use it to train StyleDubber?

No, you need to re-download to train StyleDubber. HPMDubbing needs frame frame-level feature with 220 hop length and 880 window length for the desired upsampling manner. StyleDubber currently only supports phoneme-level features and we adjust the hop length (256) and window length (1024) during pre-processing.

💡 Checkpoints

We provide the pre-trained checkpoints on GRID and V2C-Animation datasets as follows, respectively:

• GRID: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1Mj3MN4TuAEc7baHYNqwbYQ (y8kb), Google Drive

• V2C-Animation dataset (chenqi-Denoise2): https://pan.baidu.com/s/1hZBUszTaxCTNuHM82ljYWg (n8p5), Google Drive

⚒️ Environment

Our python version is 3.8.18 and cuda version 11.5. It's possible to have other compatible version. Both training and inference are implemented with PyTorch on a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU.

conda create -n style_dubber python=3.8.18
conda activate style_dubber
pip install -r requirements.txt

🔥 Train Your Own Model

You need repalce tha path in preprocess_config (see "./ModelConfig_V2C/model_config/MovieAnimation/config_all.txt") to you own path. Training V2C-Animation dataset (153 cartoon speakers), please run:

python train_StyleDubber_V2C.py

You need repalce tha path in preprocess_config (see "./ModelConfig_GRID/model_config/GRID/config_all.txt") to you own path. Training GRID dataset (33 real-world speakers), please run:

python train_StyleDubber_GRID.py

⭕ Inference Wav

There are three kinds of dubbing settings in this paper. The first setting is the same as in V2C-Net (Chen et al., 2022a), which uses target audio as reference audio from test set. However, this is impractical in real-world applications. Thus, we design two new and more reasonable settings: “Dub 2.0” uses non-ground truth audio of the same speaker as reference audio; “Dub 3.0” uses the audio of unseen characters (from another dataset) as reference audio.

Inference Setting1: V2C & GRID

python 0_evaluate_V2C_Setting1.py --restore_step <checkpoint_step>

or

python 0_evaluate_GRID_Setting1.py --restore_step <checkpoint_step>

Inference Setting2: V2C

python 0_evaluate_V2C_Setting2.py --restore_step <checkpoint_step>

Inference Setting3: V2C

python 0_evaluate_V2C_Setting3.py --restore_step <checkpoint_step>

🤖️ Output Result

• 👉 Word Error Rate (WER)

  Please download pre-trained model of whisper-large-v3 (Calculating V2C-Animation dataset) and whisper-base (Calculating GRID dataset), and pip install jiwer.

  

  For Setting1 and Setting2: Please run:

  python Dub_Metric/WER_Whisper/Setting_test.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

  Note: If you need test GRID dataset, please replace model = whisper.load_model("large-v3") to model = whisper.load_model("base") (see line 102 in ./Dub_Metric/WER_Whisper/Setting_test.py).

  For Setting3 (only for V2C): Please run:

  python Dub_Metric/WER_Whisper/Setting3_test.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

  ❓ Quick Q&A: Why does V2C use whisper-large-v3, while GRID uses whisper-base?

  Considering the challenges of the V2C-Animation dataset, the reviewer of ACL ARR suggested using whisper_large to enhance convincing. Through comparison, we finally choose whisper-large-v3 as the WER testing benchmark. Considering the inference speed and memory, the GRID dataset still retains the “Whisper-base” as the test benchmark to calculate WER (22%), which is similar to the VDTTS (Hassid et al., 2022) result (26%) in Table 2 (GRID evaluation), so this is sufficient to ensure a fair comparison.

• 👉 SPK-SIM / SECS (Speaker Encoder Cosine Similarity)

  Please download wav2mel.pt and dvector.pt and save in ./ckpts

  For Setting1: Please run:

  python Dub_Metric/SECS/Setting1.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

  For Setting2: Please run:

  python Dub_Metric/SECS/Setting2_V2C.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

  or:

  python Dub_Metric/SECS/Setting2_GRID.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

  For Setting3 (only for V2C): Please run:

  python Dub_Metric/SECS/Setting3.py  -p <Generated_wav_path> -t <GT_Wav_Path>

• 👉 MCD-DTW and MCD-DTW-SL

  The MCD-DTW and MCD-DTW-SL are calculated by running 0_evaluate_V2C_Setting*.py and 0_evaluate_GRID_Setting*.py, see ⭕ Inference Wav.
