Dumping ground for miscellaneous ML experiments with focus on FSL.

• Python 3.8
• PyTorch Lightning
• PyTorch
• conda

Using conda to manage dependencies. Detailed list of dependencies in environment.yml and requirements.txt.

EDUSKUNTA.md contains a guide for compiling speaker recognition dataset consisting of Finnish speech from the The Plenary Sessions of the Parliament of Finland dataset.

snn/librispeech/ contains multiple speaker recognition networks for one-shot learning on LibriSpeech dataset.

• Thin-ResNet34, fast-ResNet34, SAP and ASP implementations adapted from https://github.com/clovaai/voxceleb_trainer.
• NetVLAD and GhostVLAD pieced together from https://github.com/lyakaap/NetVLAD-pytorch/, https://github.com/Nanne/pytorch-NetVlad/, https://github.com/sitzikbs/netVLAD/.
• Using the learning rate finder from PyTorch Lightning.
• AdamW optimizer^[2], with 1cycle learning rate policy^{[3, 4]}.

• --model snn | snn-capsnet | snn-angularproto | snn-softmaxproto:
• --signal_transform melspectrogram | spectrogram | mfcc: The signal representation to feed to the ResNet, defaults to 'melspectrogram'.
• --n_mels n: Number of Mels to use for the Mel spectrogram or MFCC, defaults to 40.
• --n_fft n: The value of n_fft to use when constructing the spectrogram.

• --resnet_type thin | fast: Choose either thin-ResNet34 or fast-ResNet34, defaults to thin.
• --resnet_aggregation_type SAP | ASP | NetVLAD | GhostVLAD: Choose the type of aggregation (or pooling) to use for the ResNet output, defaults to SAP.
• --resnet_n_out n: Adjust the size of the ResNet output tensor, 512 by default.

• --augment: Enable augmentation using audiomentations.
• --torch_augment: Enable augmentation by torch-audiomentations.
• --specaugment: Enable spectogram frequency and time masking as per SpecAugment^[6].

• --num_speakers n: Number of speakers to include in the training set, defaults to 0 which selects all available.
• --num_train n: Number of random samples to take from the training set, defaults to the training set size but can be set higher.
• --train_batch_size n: The batch size to use specifically only for training.

Simple end-to-end Siamese neural network using binary cross-entropy loss and basic learning distance measure.

Neural network using metric learning with angular prototypical loss function^[7].

Options:

• --num_ways k: Number of speakers (or classes) to include in each training step.
• --num_shots n: Number of samples to use per speaker.

Like snn-angularproto, but using softmax prototypical loss^[8].

Experimenting based on ideas from paper by Hajavi et al. ^[5].

• CapsNet implementation copied from https://github.com/adambielski/CapsNet-pytorch.

snn/omniglot/: Convolutional SNN for one-shot learning on Omniglot dataset^[1].

• Heavily based on reimplementations of the paper at https://github.com/kevinzakka/one-shot-siamese and https://github.com/fangpin/siamese-pytorch.
• Using the learning rate finder from PyTorch Lightning.
• AdamW optimizer^[2], with 1cycle learning rate policy^{[3, 4]}.
