hear-preprocess
Dataset preprocessing code for the HEAR Benchmark and for all the tasks used during the 2021 HEAR NeurIPS challenge. To find out more about HEAR please visit https://hearbenchmark.com.
Unless you need to pre-process HEAR benchmark tasks yourself or want to contribute a task, you won't need this repo. Use hear-eval-kit to evaluate your embedding models on these tasks.
Pre-processed datasets (at 48000Hz) for all HEAR Benchmark tasks are available on zenodo. Other sampling rates (16000, 22050, 32000, 44100), are available for download (requester pays) from Google Storage gs://hear2021-archive/tasks/
This preprocessing is slow and disk-intensive but safe and careful.
Cloud Usage
See hear-eval's README.spotty for information on how to use spotty.
Installation
pip3 install hearpreprocess
Tested with Python 3.7 and 3.8. Python 3.9 is not officially supported because pip3 installs are very finicky, but it might work.
Development
Clone repo:
git clone https://github.com/hearbenchmark/hear-preprocess
cd hear-preprocess
Install in development mode:
pip3 install -e ".[dev]"
Make sure you have pre-commit hooks installed:
pre-commit install
Running tests:
python3 -m pytest
Preprocessing
You probably don't need to do this unless you can't use the available pre-processed datasets and need to preprocess the data yourself..
If you want to run preprocessing yourself:
- You will need
ffmpeg>=4.2
installed (possibly from conda-forge). - You will need
soxr
support, which might require package libsox-fmt-ffmpeg or installing from source.
These Luigi pipelines are used to preprocess the evaluation tasks into a common format for downstream evaluation.
To run the preprocessing pipeline for all available tasks, with all available modes for each task:
python3 -m hearpreprocess.runner all --mode all
You can instead just call a specific single task
python3 -m hearpreprocess.runner task1 --mode all
or specific multiple tasks:
python3 -m hearpreprocess.runner task1 task2 --mode all

Pipelines
Each pipeline will download and preprocess each dataset according to the following DAG:
- DownloadCorpus
- ExtractArchive
- ExtractMetadata: Create splits over the entire corpus and find the label metadata for them.
- SubcorpusSplit (subsample each split) => MonoWavSplit => TrimPadSplit => SubcorpusData (symlinks)
- SubcorpusData => {SubcorpusMetadata, ResampleSubcorpus}
- SubcorpusMetadata => MetadataVocabulary
- FinalCombine => TarCorpus => FinalizeCorpus
In terms of sampling:
- We create a 60/20/20 split if train/valid/test does not exist.
- We cap each split at 3/1/1/ hours of audio, defined as
- If further small sampling happens, that chooses a particular number of audio samples per task.
These commands will download and preprocess the entire dataset. An
intermediary directory defined by the option luigi-dir
(default
_workdir
) will be created, and then a final directory defined by
the option tasks-dir
(default tasks
) will contain the completed
dataset.
Options:
Options:
--num-workers INTEGER Number of CPU workers to use when running. If not
provided all CPUs are used.
--sample-rate INTEGER Perform resampling only to this sample rate. By
default we resample to 16000, 22050, 44100, 48000.
--tmp-dir TEXT Temporary directory to save all the intermediate
tasks (will not be deleted afterwords). (default:
_workdir/)
--tasks-dir TEXT Directory to save the final task output (default:
tasks/)
--tar-dir TEXT Directory to save the tar'ed output (default: .)
--mode TEXT default, all, or small mode for each task.
--help Show this message and exit.
To check the stats of an audio directory:
python3 -m hearpreprocess.audio_dir_stats {input folder} {output json file}
Stats include: audio_count, audio_samplerate_count, mean meadian and certain (10, 25, 75, 90) percentile durations. This is helpful in getting a quick glance of the audio files in a folder and helps in decideing the preprocessing configurations.
The pipeline will also generate some stats of the original and preprocessed data sets, e.g.:
speech_commands-v0.0.2/01-ExtractArchive/test_stats.json
speech_commands-v0.0.2/01-ExtractArchive/train_stats.json
speech_commands-v0.0.2/03-ExtractMetadata/labelcount_test.json
speech_commands-v0.0.2/03-ExtractMetadata/labelcount_train.json
speech_commands-v0.0.2/03-ExtractMetadata/labelcount_valid.json
Faster preprocessing, for development
The small flag runs the preprocessing pipeline on a small version of each dataset stored at Downsampled HEAR Open Tasks. This is used for development and continuous integration tests for the pipeline.
These small versions of the data can be generated deterministically with the following command:
python3 -m hearpreprocess.sampler <taskname>
NOTE : --mode small
is used to run the task on a
small version of the dataset for development.
Breaking change for hear-eval
If the open tasks have changed enough to break the downstream CI, (for example in the heareval repo), the Preprocessed Downsampled HEAR Open Tasks should be updated. An example of an obvious breaking changes can be modification of the task configuration.
The version should be bumped up in hearpreprocess/__init__.py
and the pipeline should
be run for the open tasks with --mode small
flag
Thereafter, the following command can be used to copy the tarred files produced by running the pipeline for the open tasks to the repo( Please clone the repo )
