Language Identification from Speech Recordings with ECAPA embeddings on CommonLanguage

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform language identification from speech recordings with SpeechBrain. The system uses a model pretrained on the CommonLanguage dataset (45 languages). You can download the dataset here The provided system can recognize the following 45 languages from short speech recordings:

Arabic, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Chinese_China, Chinese_Hongkong, Chinese_Taiwan, Chuvash, Czech, Dhivehi, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, French, Frisian, Georgian, German, Greek, Hakha_Chin, Indonesian, Interlingua, Italian, Japanese, Kabyle, Kinyarwanda, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Maltese, Mongolian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Romansh_Sursilvan, Russian, Sakha, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Tatar, Turkish, Ukrainian, Welsh

Pipeline description

This system is composed of an ECAPA model coupled with statistical pooling. A classifier, trained with Categorical Cross-Entropy Loss, is applied on top of that.

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 classify_file if needed. Make sure your input tensor is compliant with the expected sampling rate if you use encode_batch and classify_batch.

Install SpeechBrain

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

pip install speechbrain

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

Perform Language Identification from Speech Recordings

import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.classifiers import EncoderClassifier
classifier = EncoderClassifier.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/lang-id-commonlanguage_ecapa", savedir="pretrained_models/lang-id-commonlanguage_ecapa")
# Italian Example
out_prob, score, index, text_lab = classifier.classify_file('speechbrain/lang-id-commonlanguage_ecapa/example-it.wav')
print(text_lab)

# French Example
out_prob, score, index, text_lab = classifier.classify_file('speechbrain/lang-id-commonlanguage_ecapa/example-fr.wav')
print(text_lab)

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 (a02f860e). To train it from scratch follow these steps:

1. Clone SpeechBrain:

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

2. Install it:

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

3. Run Training:

cd recipes/CommonLanguage/lang_id
python train.py hparams/train_ecapa_tdnn.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here.

Limitations

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