Checkpoints

There are two main ways to load pretrained checkpoints in NeMo as described in Checkpoints.

  • Using the restore_from() method to load a local checkpoint file (.nemo), or

  • Using the from_pretrained() method to download and set up a checkpoint from NGC.

Note that these instructions are for loading fully trained checkpoints for evaluation or fine-tuning. For resuming an unfinished training experiment, use the Experiment Manager to do so by setting the resume_if_exists flag to True.

  • Save Model Checkpoints: NeMo automatically saves final model checkpoints with .nemo suffix. You could also manually save any model checkpoint using model.save_to(<checkpoint_path>.nemo).

  • Load Model Checkpoints: if you’d like to load a checkpoint saved at <path/to/checkpoint/file.nemo>, use the restore_from() method below, where <MODEL_BASE_CLASS> is the TTS model class of the original checkpoint.

import nemo.collections.tts as nemo_tts model = nemo_tts.models.<MODEL_BASE_CLASS>.restore_from(restore_path="<path/to/checkpoint/file.nemo>")

The NGC NeMo Text to Speech collection aggregates model cards that contain detailed information about checkpoints of various models trained on various datasets. The tables below in Checkpoints list part of available TTS models from NGC including speech/text aligners, acoustic models, and vocoders.

Load Model Checkpoints

The models can be accessed via the from_pretrained() method inside the TTS Model class. In general, you can load any of these models with code in the following format,

import nemo.collections.tts as nemo_tts model = nemo_tts.models.<MODEL_BASE_CLASS>.from_pretrained(model_name="<MODEL_NAME>")

where <MODEL_NAME> is the value in Model Name column in the tables in Checkpoints. These names are predefined in the each model’s member function self.list_available_models(). For example, the available NGC FastPitch model names can be found,

From the above key-value pair pretrained_model_name=tts_en_fastpitch, you could get the model name tts_en_fastpitch and load it by running,

model = nemo_tts.models.FastPitchModel.from_pretrained(model_name="tts_en_fastpitch")

If you would like to programmatically list the models available for a particular base class, you can use the list_available_models() method,

Inference and Audio Generation

NeMo TTS supports both cascaded and end-to-end models to synthesize audios. Most of steps in between are the same except that cascaded models need to load an extra vocoder model before generating audios. Below code snippet demonstrates steps of generating a audio sample from a text input using a cascaded FastPitch and HiFiGAN models. Please refer to NeMo TTS Collection API for detailed implementation of model classes.

Fine-Tuning on Different Datasets

There are multiple TTS tutorials provided in the directory of tutorials/tts/. Most of these tutorials demonstrate how to instantiate a pre-trained model, and prepare the model for fine-tuning on datasets with the same language or different languages, the same speaker or different speakers.

This section summarizes a full list of available NeMo TTS models that have been released in NGC NeMo Text to Speech Collection. You can download model checkpoints of your interest via either way below,

  • wget '<CHECKPOINT_URL_IN_THE_TABLE>'

  • curl -LO '<CHECKPOINT_URL_IN_THE_TABLE>'
