# Mimba PL-BERT PLT — Phonetic-Level BERT for Plateau Malagasy
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
A **phonetic-level pre-trained language model (PL-BERT)** for **Plateau Malagasy (PLT)**,
|
| 23 |
+
trained from scratch to provide text/phoneme-context-aware embeddings for
|
| 24 |
+
**StyleTTS2** synthesis. Adapted from the original
|
| 25 |
+
[PL-BERT](https://github.com/yl4579/PL-BERT) architecture (Li et al., used in
|
| 26 |
+
StyleTTS2) and trained on a large phonemized Malagasy corpus with the same
|
| 27 |
+
55-symbol phoneme vocabulary used across every Mimba PLT model (StyleTTS2,
|
| 28 |
+
NeuTTS-Nano, Supertonic 3).
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
> ⚠️ **Not a standalone TTS model.** PL-BERT is a text/phoneme encoder only —
|
| 31 |
+
> it produces contextual embeddings consumed by a downstream acoustic model
|
| 32 |
+
> (StyleTTS2 Stage 1/Stage 2). It cannot synthesize audio by itself.

## Training details
|
| 80 |
+
|
| 81 |
+
The model is trained with a dual masked-language-modeling objective — one
|
| 82 |
+
head predicts the masked **phoneme token** (55-way classification), the other
|
| 83 |
+
predicts the masked **word form** (large open vocabulary of Malagasy word
|
| 84 |
+
forms, zipfian-distributed due to the language's agglutinative morphology).
|
| 85 |
+
Only the phoneme-level task is used downstream by StyleTTS2, but the joint
|
| 86 |
+
objective helps the encoder learn richer contextual representations.
|
| 87 |
+
|
| 88 |
+
Training ran for 1,000,000 steps with a cosine learning-rate decay
|
| 89 |
+
(`1e-4 → 1e-6`) applied over the final ~270K steps. Accuracy on masked
|
| 90 |
+
phoneme positions (measured periodically on held-out batches, not just
|
| 91 |
+
training loss) tracked as follows:
|
| 92 |
+
|
| 93 |
+
| Step | Masked-phoneme accuracy |
|
| 94 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 95 |
+
| 136,000 | 58.55% |
|
| 96 |
+
| 727,514 | 61–63% |
|
| 97 |
+
| 900,000 | 63.92% |
|
| 98 |
+
| 1,000,000 | **65.52%** |
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
Accuracy plateaued in the final third of training despite the LR decay
|
| 101 |
+
reaching down to `1e-6` — this is treated as the effective ceiling for this
|
| 102 |
+
model size/corpus, not a sign that more steps would help. For reference,
|
| 103 |
+
comparable phoneme/sup-phoneme masked-LM setups in other languages (e.g.
|
| 104 |
+
Mixed-Phoneme BERT, PnG-BERT) report converged accuracies around 70–75%;
|
| 105 |
+
this PLT model sits somewhat below that range, likely due to corpus size and
|
| 106 |
+
language-specific factors rather than an implementation issue.
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
## Usage
|
| 109 |
+
|
| 110 |
+
```python
|
| 111 |
+
import torch, yaml
|
| 112 |
+
from transformers import AlbertConfig, AlbertModel
|
| 113 |
+
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
|
| 114 |
+
from collections import OrderedDict
|
| 115 |
+
|
| 116 |
+
REPO = "mimba/plbert-plt"
|
| 117 |
+
|
| 118 |
+
class CustomAlbert(AlbertModel):
|
| 119 |
+
def forward(self, *args, **kwargs):
|
| 120 |
+
return super().forward(*args, **kwargs).last_hidden_state
|
| 121 |
+
|
| 122 |
+
def load_plbert(repo_id=REPO, step=1_000_000):
|
| 123 |
+
config_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id, "config.yml")
|
| 124 |
+
plbert_config = yaml.safe_load(open(config_path))
|
| 125 |
+
config = AlbertConfig(**plbert_config["model_params"])
|
| 126 |
+
bert = CustomAlbert(config)
|
| 127 |
+
|
| 128 |
+
ckpt_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id, f"step_{step}.t7")
|
| 129 |
+
checkpoint = torch.load(ckpt_path, map_location="cpu")
|
| 130 |
+
state_dict = checkpoint["net"]
|
| 131 |
+
|
| 132 |
+
new_state_dict = OrderedDict()
|
| 133 |
+
for k, v in state_dict.items():
|
| 134 |
+
name = k[7:] if k.startswith("module.") else k
|
| 135 |
+
if name.startswith("encoder."):
|
| 136 |
+
new_state_dict[name[8:]] = v
|
| 137 |
+
new_state_dict.pop("embeddings.position_ids", None)
|
| 138 |
+
bert.load_state_dict(new_state_dict, strict=False)
|
| 139 |
+
return bert
|
| 140 |
+
|
| 141 |
+
model = load_plbert()
|
| 142 |
+
model.eval()
|
| 143 |
+
```
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
**As a StyleTTS2 `PLBERT_dir`**: download `config.yml` + `step_1000000.t7`
|
| 146 |
+
into `Utils/PLBERT/` of the StyleTTS2 repo — `util.py`'s `load_plbert()`
|
| 147 |
+
(shown above) is what `train_first.py`/`train_second.py` call automatically.
|
| 148 |
+
|
| 149 |
+
## Relation to other Mimba datasets/models
|
| 150 |
+
|
| 151 |
+
```
|
| 152 |
+
mimba/text2text (source text corpus)
|
| 153 |
+
-> mimba/plt-tts-dataset (audio + text, 4 speakers)
|
| 154 |
+
-> phonemized PLT corpus (IPA phonemization, mode PHRASE)
|
| 155 |
+
-> mimba/plbert-plt <- this model
|
| 156 |
+
-> mimba/styletts2-plt-corpus (StyleTTS2-ready corpus)
|
| 157 |
+
-> mimba/styletts2-plt-stage1 / stage2 (StyleTTS2 checkpoints)
|
| 158 |
+
```
|
| 159 |
+
|
| 160 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 161 |
+
|
| 162 |
+
- Masked-phoneme accuracy (65.52%) is below reference points from other
|
| 163 |
+
languages' phoneme-level BERT models (~70–75%); treat this as this
|
| 164 |
+
model's practical ceiling rather than an intermediate result.
|
| 165 |
+
- The word-level prediction head operates over a very large, zipfian
|
| 166 |
+
vocabulary (agglutinative morphology) and is noisy on rare word forms —
|
| 167 |
+
this does not affect StyleTTS2 usage, which only consumes phoneme-level
|
| 168 |
+
embeddings.
|
| 169 |
+
- Trained on synthetic/derived text sources (see `mimba/text2text` and
|
| 170 |
+
`mimba/plt-tts-dataset` cards for provenance); verify licensing
|
| 171 |
+
independently before commercial use.
