Forced Alignment with Wav2Vec2

Author: Moto Hira

This tutorial shows how to align transcript to speech with torchaudio, using CTC segmentation algorithm described in CTC-Segmentation of Large Corpora for German End-to-end Speech Recognition.

import torch
import torchaudio

print(torch.__version__)
print(torchaudio.__version__)


device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
print(device)

Overview

The process of alignment looks like the following.

  1. Estimate the frame-wise label probability from audio waveform

  2. Generate the trellis matrix which represents the probability of labels aligned at time step.

  3. Find the most likely path from the trellis matrix.

In this example, we use torchaudio’s Wav2Vec2 model for acoustic feature extraction.

Preparation

First we import the necessary packages, and fetch data that we work on.

# %matplotlib inline

from dataclasses import dataclass

import IPython
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

matplotlib.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [16.0, 4.8]

torch.random.manual_seed(0)

SPEECH_FILE = torchaudio.utils.download_asset("tutorial-assets/Lab41-SRI-VOiCES-src-sp0307-ch127535-sg0042.wav")

Generate frame-wise label probability

The first step is to generate the label class porbability of each aduio frame. We can use a Wav2Vec2 model that is trained for ASR. Here we use torchaudio.pipelines.WAV2VEC2_ASR_BASE_960H().

torchaudio provides easy access to pretrained models with associated labels.

Note

In the subsequent sections, we will compute the probability in log-domain to avoid numerical instability. For this purpose, we normalize the emission with torch.log_softmax().

bundle = torchaudio.pipelines.WAV2VEC2_ASR_BASE_960H
model = bundle.get_model().to(device)
labels = bundle.get_labels()
with torch.inference_mode():
    waveform, _ = torchaudio.load(SPEECH_FILE)
    emissions, _ = model(waveform.to(device))
    emissions = torch.log_softmax(emissions, dim=-1)

emission = emissions[0].cpu().detach()

Generate alignment probability (trellis)

From the emission matrix, next we generate the trellis which represents the probability of transcript labels occur at each time frame.

Trellis is 2D matrix with time axis and label axis. The label axis represents the transcript that we are aligning. In the following, we use \(t\) to denote the index in time axis and \(j\) to denote the index in label axis. \(c_j\) represents the label at label index \(j\).

To generate, the probability of time step \(t+1\), we look at the trellis from time step \(t\) and emission at time step \(t+1\). There are two path to reach to time step \(t+1\) with label \(c_{j+1}\). The first one is the case where the label was \(c_{j+1}\) at \(t\) and there was no label change from \(t\) to \(t+1\). The other case is where the label was \(c_j\) at \(t\) and it transitioned to the next label \(c_{j+1}\) at \(t+1\).

The follwoing diagram illustrates this transition.

https://download.pytorch.org/torchaudio/tutorial-assets/ctc-forward.png

Since we are looking for the most likely transitions, we take the more likely path for the value of \(k_{(t+1, j+1)}\), that is

\(k_{(t+1, j+1)} = max( k_{(t, j)} p(t+1, c_{j+1}), k_{(t, j+1)} p(t+1, repeat) )\)

where \(k\) represents is trellis matrix, and \(p(t, c_j)\) represents the probability of label \(c_j\) at time step \(t\). \(repeat\) represents the blank token from CTC formulation. (For the detail of CTC algorithm, please refer to the Sequence Modeling with CTC [distill.pub])

transcript = "I|HAD|THAT|CURIOSITY|BESIDE|ME|AT|THIS|MOMENT"
dictionary = {c: i for i, c in enumerate(labels)}

tokens = [dictionary[c] for c in transcript]
print(list(zip(transcript, tokens)))


def get_trellis(emission, tokens, blank_id=0):
    num_frame = emission.size(0)
    num_tokens = len(tokens)

    # Trellis has extra diemsions for both time axis and tokens.
    # The extra dim for tokens represents <SoS> (start-of-sentence)
    # The extra dim for time axis is for simplification of the code.
    trellis = torch.empty((num_frame + 1, num_tokens + 1))
    trellis[0, 0] = 0
    trellis[1:, 0] = torch.cumsum(emission[:, 0], 0)
    trellis[0, -num_tokens:] = -float("inf")
    trellis[-num_tokens:, 0] = float("inf")

    for t in range(num_frame):
        trellis[t + 1, 1:] = torch.maximum(
            # Score for staying at the same token
            trellis[t, 1:] + emission[t, blank_id],
            # Score for changing to the next token
            trellis[t, :-1] + emission[t, tokens],
        )
    return trellis


trellis = get_trellis(emission, tokens)
[('I', 7), ('|', 1), ('H', 8), ('A', 4), ('D', 11), ('|', 1), ('T', 3), ('H', 8), ('A', 4), ('T', 3), ('|', 1), ('C', 16), ('U', 13), ('R', 10), ('I', 7), ('O', 5), ('S', 9), ('I', 7), ('T', 3), ('Y', 19), ('|', 1), ('B', 21), ('E', 2), ('S', 9), ('I', 7), ('D', 11), ('E', 2), ('|', 1), ('M', 14), ('E', 2), ('|', 1), ('A', 4), ('T', 3), ('|', 1), ('T', 3), ('H', 8), ('I', 7), ('S', 9), ('|', 1), ('M', 14), ('O', 5), ('M', 14), ('E', 2), ('N', 6), ('T', 3)]

In the above visualization, we can see that there is a trace of high probability crossing the matrix diagonally.

Find the most likely path (backtracking)

Once the trellis is generated, we will traverse it following the elements with high probability.

We will start from the last label index with the time step of highest probability, then, we traverse back in time, picking stay (\(c_j \rightarrow c_j\)) or transition (\(c_j \rightarrow c_{j+1}\)), based on the post-transition probability \(k_{t, j} p(t+1, c_{j+1})\) or \(k_{t, j+1} p(t+1, repeat)\).

Transition is done once the label reaches the beginning.

The trellis matrix is used for path-finding, but for the final probability of each segment, we take the frame-wise probability from emission matrix.

Looking good. Now this path contains repetations for the same labels, so let’s merge them to make it close to the original transcript.

When merging the multiple path points, we simply take the average probability for the merged segments.

Looks good. Now let’s merge the words. The Wav2Vec2 model uses '|' as the word boundary, so we merge the segments before each occurance of '|'.

Then, finally, we segment the original audio into segmented audio and listen to them to see if the segmentation is correct.

# Merge words
def merge_words(segments, separator="|"):
    words = []
    i1, i2 = 0, 0
    while i1 < len(segments):
        if i2 >= len(segments) or segments[i2].label == separator:
            if i1 != i2:
                segs = segments[i1:i2]
                word = "".join([seg.label for seg in segs])
                score = sum(seg.score * seg.length for seg in segs) / sum(seg.length for seg in segs)
                words.append(Segment(word, segments[i1].start, segments[i2 - 1].end, score))
            i1 = i2 + 1
            i2 = i1
        else:
            i2 += 1
    return words
