deepspeech.pytorch is an implementation of DeepSpeech2 using Baidu Warp-CTC. The software creates a network based on the DeepSpeech2 architecture, trained with the CTC activation function.
Key Features
- Train DeepSpeech, configurable RNN types and architectures with multi-GPU support.
- Language model support using kenlm (WIP currently).
- Multiple dataset downloaders, support for AN4, TEDLIUM, Voxforge and Librispeech. Datasets can be merged, and support for custom datasets is included.
- Noise injection (dynamic) for online training to improve noise robustness.
- Audio augmentation to improve noise robustness. This applies small changes to the tempo and gain when loading audio to increase robustness.
- Easy start/stop capabilities in the event of crash or hard stop during training.
- Visdom/Tensorboard support for visualizing training graphs.
This software has the following dependencies: python-levenshtein, torch, visdom, wget, librosa, and tqdm.
The project also offers a set of pre-trained networks for evaluation usage.
