Requrement

Python

• Python 3.6
• CUDA 10.0 & CuDNN 7.6
  • Please choose the appropriate CUDA and CuDNN version to match your NNabla version

Packages

Please install the following packages with pip. (If necessary, install latest pip first.)

• nnabla (over v1.0.19)
• nnabla-ext-cuda (over v1.0.19)
• scipy
• numba
• joblib
• pyQT5
• pyqtgraph (after installing pyQT5)
• pypesq (see "install with pip" in offical site)

Contents

• segan.py
  This is main source code. Run this.

• data.py
  This is for creating Batch Data. Before runnning, please download wav dataset as seen below.

• settings.py
  This includes setting parameters.

• display.py
  This includes some functions to display results.

Download & Create Database

1. Download segan.py, settings.py, data.py, display.py and save them into the same directory.

2. In the directory, make three folders data, pkl, params .

   • data folder : save wav data.
   • pickle folder : save pickled database "~.pkl".
   • params folder : save parameters including network models.

3. Download the following 4 dataset, and unzip them.

   • clean_trainset_wav.zip
   • noisy_trainset_wav.zip
   • clean_testset_wav.zip
   • noisy_testset_wav.zip

4. Move those unzipped 4 folders into data folder.

5. Convert the sampling frequency of all the wav data to 16kHz. For example, this site is useful. After converting, you can delete the original wav data.

Settings

settings.py

settings.py is a parameter list including the setting parameters for learning & predicting. Refer to the below when you want to know how to use the spectial paramters.

• self.epoch_from :
  Number of starting Epoch when retraining. If self.epoch_from > 0, restart learing after loading pre-trained models "discriminator_param_xxxx.h5" and "generator_param_xxxx.h5". The value of self.epoch_from should be corresponding to "xxxx".
  If self.epoch_from = 0, retraining does not work.

• self.model_save_cycle :
  Cycle of Epoch for saving network model. If "1", network model is saved for every 1 epoch.

Float 16bit (Half Precision Floating Point Mode)

If you are facing GPU Memory Stack Error, please try Half Precision Floating Point Mode which can downsize the calculation precision and thus reduce the memory usage. If you want to use, please run the following commands before defining the network.

ctx = get_extension_context('cudnn', device_id=args.device_id, type_config='half')
nn.set_default_context(ctx)

In segan.py, this mode is enable by default. Refer to "nnabla-ext-cuda" for more information.

Run

1. If training, set Train=1 in main function of segan.py. If predicting, set Train=0 .

    Train = 0
    if Train:
        # Training
        nn.set_default_context(ctx)
        train(args)
    else:
        # Test
        #nn.set_default_context(ctx)
        test(args)
        pesq_score('clean.wav','output_segan.wav')

2. Run segan.py.

During Training

If you run train(args) function, the training dataset (xxxx.pkl) is created in pkl at the beginning (for only the first time). And network model (xxxx.h5) is saved in params folder by every cycle that you set by self.model_save_cycle.

During Predicting

If you run test(args) function, the test dataset (xxxx.pkl) is created in pkl at the beginning (for only the first time). And the following wav data are generated as the results. PESQ value is also displayed.

• clean.wav : clean speech wav file
• noisy.wav : noisy speech wav file
• output.wav : reconstructed speech wav file
