Emotion Diarization with WavLM Large on 5 popular emotional datasets.

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform speech emotion diarization with a fine-tuned wavlm (large) model using SpeechBrain.

The model is trained on concatenated audios and tested on ZaionEmotionDataset . The metric is Emotion Diarization Error Rate (EDER). For more details please check the paper link .

For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain . The model performance on ZED (test set) is:

Pipeline description

This system is composed of a wavlm encoder a downstream frame-wise classifier. The task aims to predict the correct emotion components and their boundaries within a speech recording. For now, the model was trained with audios that contain only 1 non-neutral emotion event.

The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling diarize_file if needed.

Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install the development version of SpeechBrain with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain.git
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --editable .

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain .

Perform Speech Emotion Diarization

from speechbrain.inference.diarization import Speech_Emotion_Diarization
classifier = Speech_Emotion_Diarization.from_hparams(
    source="speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large"
)
diary = classifier.diarize_file("speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large/example.wav")
print(diary)

# {
#    'speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large/example.wav':
#       [
#          {'start': 0.0, 'end': 1.94, 'emotion': 'n'}, # n -> neutral
#          {'start': 1.94, 'end': 4.48, 'emotion': 'h'} # h -> happy
#       ]
# }

diary = classifier.diarize_file("speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large/example_sad.wav")
print(diary)

# {
#    'speechbrain/emotion-diarization-wavlm-large/example_sad.wav':
#        [
#          {'start': 0.0, 'end': 3.54, 'emotion': 's'}, # s -> sad
#          {'start': 3.54, 'end': 5.26, 'emotion': 'n'} # n -> neutral
#        ]
# }

The output will contain a dictionary of emotion components and their boundaries.

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain (aa018540). To train it from scratch follow these steps:

1. Clone SpeechBrain:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/

1. Install it:

cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

1. Run Training:

cd  recipes/ZaionEmotionDataset/emotion_diarization
python train.py hparams/train.yaml --zed_folder /path/to/ZED --emovdb_folder /path/to/EmoV-DB --esd_folder /path/to/ESD --iemocap_folder /path/to/IEMOCAP --jlcorpus_folder /path/to/JL_corpus --ravdess_folder /path/to/RAVDESS

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
