m-a-p / music2vec-v1

Introduction to our series work

The development log of our Music Audio Pre-training (m-a-p) model family:

• 17/03/2023: we release two advanced music understanding models, MERT-v1-95M and MERT-v1-330M , trained with new paradigm and dataset. They outperform the previous models and can better generalize to more tasks.
• 14/03/2023: we retrained the MERT-v0 model with open-source-only music dataset MERT-v0-public
• 29/12/2022: a music understanding model MERT-v0 trained with MLM paradigm, which performs better at downstream tasks.
• 29/10/2022: a pre-trained MIR model music2vec trained with BYOL paradigm.

Here is a table for quick model pick-up:

Explanation

The m-a-p models share the similar model architecture and the most distinguished difference is the paradigm in used pre-training. Other than that, there are several nuance technical configuration needs to know before using:

• Model Size : the number of parameters that would be loaded to memory. Please select the appropriate size fitting your hardware.
• Transformer Layer-Dimension : The number of transformer layers and the corresponding feature dimensions can be outputted from our model. This is marked out because features extracted by different layers could have various performance depending on tasks .
• Feature Rate : Given a 1-second audio input, the number of features output by the model.
• Sample Rate : The frequency of audio that the model is trained with.

Introduction to Music2Vec

Music2Vec is accepted as 2-page abstract in Late Breaking Demos (LBD) at the ISMIR 2022. It is a completely unsupervised model trained on 1000 hour music audios. We release the crop5s version base model as music2vec-v1. Our base model is SOTA-comparable on multiple MIR tasks even under probing settings, while keeping fine-tunable on a single 2080Ti. Larger models trained with more data are on the way~

For a more recent pretrained model with better performance, please refer to m-a-p/MERT-v0 .

Model Architecture

Music2Vec Framework. During pre-training, the student model aims to reconstruct the masked music audio by taking the contextualized representations provided by the teacher model as prediction targets.

Performance Comparison

With 95M parameters and relatively small training data (1k hr), our base Music2Vec representation achieves comparable performance to the SOTA Jukebox-5B representation. Note that our base model size is <2% of Jukebox-5B.

Model Usage

from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Data2VecAudioModel
import torch
from torch import nn
from datasets import load_dataset

# load demo audio and set processor
dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")
dataset = dataset.sort("id")
sampling_rate = dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/data2vec-audio-base-960h")

# loading our model weights
model = Data2VecAudioModel.from_pretrained("m-a-p/music2vec-v1")


# audio file is decoded on the fly
inputs = processor(dataset[0]["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=sampling_rate, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs, output_hidden_states=True)

# take a look at the output shape, there are 13 layers of representation
# each layer performs differently in different downstream tasks, you should choose empirically
all_layer_hidden_states = torch.stack(outputs.hidden_states).squeeze()
print(all_layer_hidden_states.shape) # [13 layer, 292 timestep, 768 feature_dim]

# for utterance level classification tasks, you can simply reduce the representation in time
time_reduced_hidden_states = all_layer_hidden_states.mean(-2)
print(time_reduced_hidden_states.shape) # [13, 768]

# you can even use a learnable weighted average representation
aggregator = nn.Conv1d(in_channels=13, out_channels=1, kernel_size=1)
weighted_avg_hidden_states = aggregator(time_reduced_hidden_states).squeeze()
print(weighted_avg_hidden_states.shape) # [768]

Our model is based on the data2vec audio model .
