"""aligner_bench — which forced aligner should score Thai TTS pauses?
A SELF-CONTAINED benchmark (one file + one asset bundle, no other project code)
that answers two questions about a candidate forced aligner on Thai TTS audio:
1. DELAY / TIMING — how far off are its boundaries? Measured against the TTS
model's OWN duration predictor (`pred_dur`), which is ground truth by
construction: the vocoder rendered exactly those frame counts, so the token
boundaries in the audio ARE the pred_dur boundaries. Reported as onset
error percentiles, signed bias, jitter (bias-removed spread) and duration
error.
2. PAUSE ACCURACY — does the downstream pause metric still work through it?
Silences are detected in the audio, attributed to a text juncture via the
aligner's char timings, and classified ok / bad_juncture / intra_word /
unaligned. The same clips scored through `pred_dur` give the reference,
so every arm is also reported as AGREEMENT with ground truth (per-clip
count correlation, clip-verdict agreement, per-speaker precision
correlation, bad-juncture overlap).
Three aligners ship, all behind `--aligner`:
ctc airesearch/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-th Thai char CTC, 50 fps (default)
mms torchaudio.pipelines.MMS_FA multilingual phone aligner
qwen Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B-hf + a Thai char timestamp head, 26 fps
(`--ctc-head-repo`; the head architecture is inferred from its weights,
so a new head loads without code changes — this is the slot to try
your own aligner in)
Adding a fourth: write a `<name>_char_spans(wav, sr, item, bundle) -> [(char_idx,
t0_ms, t1_ms)]` and register it in ALIGNERS. Everything downstream is shared.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK START (the bundle ships wavs + frozen ground truth; no Thai NLP needed)
pip install numpy soundfile torch torchaudio transformers
python aligner_bench.py run --bundle bundle --aligner ctc --out out/ctc
python aligner_bench.py run --bundle bundle --aligner mms --out out/mms
python aligner_bench.py report out/ctc out/mms
`run` = `align` (GPU, writes char spans) + `score` (CPU, writes metrics.json).
Run them separately if you want to re-score without re-aligning.
The `qwen` arm needs transformers>=5.13 and an HF token for the head repo:
pip install --no-deps --target=/tmp/tf514 transformers==5.14.1
PYTHONPATH=/tmp/tf514 HF_TOKEN=... python aligner_bench.py run \
--bundle bundle --aligner qwen --ctc-head-repo Warit/ctc-head-v2 --out out/qwen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUNDLE FORMAT (built by `export`, which is the only subcommand that needs the
original project — a recipient never runs it)
bundle/
items.jsonl one JSON per clip, see `export_bundle` for the schema
audio/<id>.flac 24 kHz mono, lossless (the source wavs were PCM_16)
README.md
Each item carries the frozen ground truth so the benchmark needs no Thai
tokenizer, G2P or TTS model at run time:
text the normalized text that was actually spoken (all char indices,
gold marks and word spans live in THIS coordinate space)
gold pause mask, '|' = a break here is allowed (hand-calibrated)
pred_dur per-token frame counts from the TTS duration predictor (25 ms/frame)
align phonemes + syllable units + words + index maps (ground-truth path)
word_spans {"tltk": …, "newmm": …} — two segmentations, `--word-seg` picks one
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READING THE OUTPUT
* Precision is precision-side ONLY: the masks carry no "a break is required
here" marks, so never pausing scores 1.000. Always read `pause_precision`
next to `pauses_per_clip`.
* `per_speaker_precision_r` is the metric that matters most for a benchmark
instrument — it is whether the aligner RANKS voices the way ground truth does.
An aligner can hold aggregate precision and still be useless here.
* Onset error is measured on synthetic (vocoder) audio, which is out of domain
for aligners trained on natural speech. That is the point — it is the audio
the metric has to work on — but it is not a claim about natural speech.

Thai TTS audio with frozen ground-truth alignment, for benchmarking forced
aligners. Produced from a Kokoro/StyleTTS2 Thai student (12 synthetic speakers
x long-sentence eval texts).
items.jsonl one JSON per clip
audio/<id>.flac 24 kHz mono, lossless
Per item:
| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` / `speaker` / `text_id` | clip key; `speaker` groups the same text across voices |
| `text` | the NORMALIZED text that was actually spoken — every char index below is in this space |
| `gold` | pause mask; `\\|` marks a juncture where a break is allowed (hand-calibrated, precision-side only) |
| `pred_dur` | the TTS duration predictor's per-token frame counts, 25 ms/frame, with one pad token at each end. `sum(pred_dur) * 600 == len(audio)` at 24 kHz, so these boundaries ARE the audio's boundaries — this is the timing ground truth |
| `align.phonemes` | IPA, byte-identical to what the model was fed |
| `align.units` | syllable/word/punct atoms: `[ph_a, ph_b)` in phonemes, `[ch_a, ch_b)` in text |
| `align.words` | word spans with surfaces |
| `align.ph2unit` | phoneme char -> unit index (-1 for spaces) |
| `align.tok2ph` | model token index -> phoneme char index |
| `word_spans` | two independent word segmentations (`tltk`, `newmm`) so tokenizer choice can be varied without a Thai tokenizer installed |
The audio is vocoder output, not natural speech: out of domain for aligners
trained on read speech, which is deliberate — it is the audio the metric has to
work on.
