Hubert-Base for Emotion Recognition

Model description

This is a ported version of S3PRL's Hubert for the SUPERB Emotion Recognition task.

The base model is hubert-base-ls960, which is pretrained on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

For more information refer to SUPERB: Speech processing Universal PERformance Benchmark

Task and dataset description

Emotion Recognition (ER) predicts an emotion class for each utterance. The most widely used ER dataset IEMOCAP is adopted, and we follow the conventional evaluation protocol: we drop the unbalanced emotion classes to leave the final four classes with a similar amount of data points and cross-validate on five folds of the standard splits.

For the original model's training and evaluation instructions refer to the S3PRL downstream task README.

Usage examples

You can use the model via the Audio Classification pipeline:

from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import pipeline

dataset = load_dataset("anton-l/superb_demo", "er", split="session1")

classifier = pipeline("audio-classification", model="superb/hubert-base-superb-er")
labels = classifier(dataset[0]["file"], top_k=5)

Or use the model directly:

import torch
import librosa
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import HubertForSequenceClassification, Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor

def map_to_array(example):
    speech, _ = librosa.load(example["file"], sr=16000, mono=True)
    example["speech"] = speech
    return example

# load a demo dataset and read audio files
dataset = load_dataset("anton-l/superb_demo", "er", split="session1")
dataset = dataset.map(map_to_array)

model = HubertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("superb/hubert-base-superb-er")
feature_extractor = Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("superb/hubert-base-superb-er")

# compute attention masks and normalize the waveform if needed
inputs = feature_extractor(dataset[:4]["speech"], sampling_rate=16000, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")

logits = model(**inputs).logits
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
labels = [model.config.id2label[_id] for _id in predicted_ids.tolist()]

Eval results

The evaluation metric is accuracy.
