Preprocessing¶

akida_models.kws.preprocessing.prepare_model_settings(sample_rate, clip_duration_ms, window_size_ms, window_stride_ms, feature_bin_count)¶

Calculates common settings needed for all models.

Parameters

sample_rate – Number of audio samples per second.
clip_duration_ms – Length of each audio clip to be analyzed.
window_size_ms – Duration of frequency analysis window.
window_stride_ms – How far to move in time between frequency windows.

Parameters: wanted_words – List of strings containing the custom words.
Returns: List with the standard silence and unknown tokens added.

akida_models.kws.preprocessing.which_set(filename, validation_percentage, testing_percentage)¶

Determines which data partition the file should belong to.

We want to keep files in the same training, validation, or testing sets even if new ones are added over time. This makes it less likely that testing samples will accidentally be reused in training when long runs are restarted for example. To keep this stability, a hash of the filename is taken and used to determine which set it should belong to. This determination only depends on the name and the set proportions, so it won’t change as other files are added.

It’s also useful to associate particular files as related (for example words spoken by the same person), so anything after ‘_nohash_’ in a filename is ignored for set determination. This ensures that ‘bobby_nohash_0.wav’ and ‘bobby_nohash_1.wav’ are always in the same set, for example.

Parameters

filename – File path of the data sample.
validation_percentage – How much of the data set to use for validation.
testing_percentage – How much of the data set to use for testing.

Returns

String, one of ‘training’, ‘validation’, or ‘testing’.

`get_data`(how_many, offset, …)	Gather samples from the data set, applying transformations as needed.
`get_features_for_wav`(wav_filename)	Applies the feature transformation process to the input_wav.
`maybe_download_and_extract_dataset`(data_url, …)	Download and extract data set tar file.
`prepare_background_data`()	Searches a folder for background noise audio, and loads it into memory.
`prepare_data_index`(silence_percentage, …)	Prepares a list of the samples organized by set and label.
`prepare_processing_graph`()	Builds a TensorFlow graph to apply the input distortions.

get_augmented_data_for_wav(wav_filename, background_frequency, background_volume_range, time_shift, num_augmented_samples=1)¶

Applies the feature transformation process to a wav audio file, adding data augmentation (background noise and time shifting).

Parameters

Returns

Numpy data array containing the generated features for every augmented: sample.

get_data(how_many, offset, background_frequency, background_volume_range, time_shift, mode)¶

Gather samples from the data set, applying transformations as needed.

When the mode is ‘training’, a random selection of samples will be returned, otherwise the first N clips in the partition will be used. This ensures that validation always uses the same samples, reducing noise in the metrics.

Parameters

how_many – Desired number of samples to return. -1 means the entire contents of this partition.
offset – Where to start when fetching deterministically.
background_frequency – How many clips will have background noise, 0.0 to 1.0.
background_volume_range – How loud the background noise will be.
time_shift – How much to randomly shift the clips by in time.
mode – Which partition to use, must be ‘training’, ‘validation’, or ‘testing’.

Returns

List of sample data for the transformed samples, and list of label indexes

Raises

ValueError – If background samples are too short.

get_features_for_wav(wav_filename)¶

Applies the feature transformation process to the input_wav.

Runs the feature generation process (generally producing a spectrogram from the input samples) on the WAV file. This can be useful for testing and verifying implementations being run on other platforms.

Parameters: wav_filename – The path to the input audio file.
Returns: Numpy data array containing the generated features.

maybe_download_and_extract_dataset(data_url, dest_directory)¶

Download and extract data set tar file.

If the data set we’re using doesn’t already exist, this function downloads it from the TensorFlow.org website and unpacks it into a directory. If the data_url is none, don’t download anything and expect the data directory to contain the correct files already.

Parameters

data_url – Web location of the tar file containing the data set.
dest_directory – File path to extract data to.

prepare_background_data()¶

Searches a folder for background noise audio, and loads it into memory.

It’s expected that the background audio samples will be in a subdirectory named ‘_background_noise_’ inside the ‘data_dir’ folder, as .wavs that match the sample rate of the training data, but can be much longer in duration.

If the ‘_background_noise_’ folder doesn’t exist at all, this isn’t an error, it’s just taken to mean that no background noise augmentation should be used. If the folder does exist, but it’s empty, that’s treated as an error.

Returns: List of raw PCM-encoded audio samples of background noise.
Raises: Exception – If files aren’t found in the folder.

prepare_data_index(silence_percentage, unknown_percentage, wanted_words, validation_percentage, testing_percentage)¶

Prepares a list of the samples organized by set and label.

The training loop needs a list of all the available data, organized by which partition it should belong to, and with ground truth labels attached. This function analyzes the folders below the data_dir, figures out the right labels for each file based on the name of the subdirectory it belongs to, and uses a stable hash to assign it to a data set partition.

Parameters

silence_percentage – How much of the resulting data should be background.
unknown_percentage – How much should be audio outside the wanted classes.
wanted_words – Labels of the classes we want to be able to recognize.
validation_percentage – How much of the data set to use for validation.
testing_percentage – How much of the data set to use for testing.

Returns

Dictionary containing a list of file information for each set partition, and a lookup map for each class to determine its numeric index.

Raises

Exception – If expected files are not found.

prepare_processing_graph()¶

Builds a TensorFlow graph to apply the input distortions.

Creates a graph that loads a WAVE file, decodes it, scales the volume, shifts it in time, adds in background noise, calculates a spectrogram, and then builds an MFCC fingerprint from that.

weights (str) – None (random initialization) or the path to the weights file to be loaded.
weight_quantization (int) –
sets all weights in the model to have a particular quantization bitwidth except for the weights in the first layer.
- ’0’ implements floating point 32-bit weights.
- ’2’ through ‘8’ implements n-bit weights where n is from 2-8 bits.
activ_quantization –
sets all activations in the model to have a particular activation quantization bitwidth.
- ’0’ implements floating point 32-bit activations.
- ’2’ through ‘8’ implements n-bit weights where n is from 2-8 bits.
input_weight_quantization –
sets weight quantization in the first layer. Defaults to weight_quantization value.
- ’0’ implements floating point 32-bit weights.
- ’2’ through ‘8’ implements n-bit weights where n is from 2-8 bits.
