Each precision is a folder; keep a folder's files together. Only the parts listed below are converted: the rest of the pipeline comes from the original repository unless the section below says otherwise. ## Files The last column is how far each build is from the original PyTorch model on the same inputs (see the section below for what was measured). | Precision | File | Size | sha256 | Checked against the original | |---|---|---|---|---| | bf16 | [`bf16/config.json`](https://huggingface.co/moonbox-dev/DeepFilterNet3-MLX/blob/main/bf16/config.json) | 0.9 kB | `cc96fe1bf688` | below threshold (experimental): SI-SDR 8.58 dB, 0.66 dB below the original on one clip; DNSMOS 2.93; output vs the original's 25.2 / 16.3 dB | | bf16 | [`bf16/model.safetensors`](https://huggingface.co/moonbox-dev/DeepFilterNet3-MLX/blob/main/bf16/model.safetensors) | 4.3 MB | `ad9d67c69a00` | below threshold (experimental): SI-SDR 8.58 dB, 0.66 dB below the original on one clip; DNSMOS 2.93; output vs the original's 25.2 / 16.3 dB | | fp16 | [`fp16/config.json`](https://huggingface.co/moonbox-dev/DeepFilterNet3-MLX/blob/main/fp16/config.json) | 0.9 kB | `cc96fe1bf688` | SI-SDR 8.62 dB (original 8.71), DNSMOS 2.92 (2.95); output vs the original's 25.3 dB mean / 17.7 dB worst clip (mlx-audio float32: 25.3 / 17.7) | | fp16 | [`fp16/model.safetensors`](https://huggingface.co/moonbox-dev/DeepFilterNet3-MLX/blob/main/fp16/model.safetensors) | 4.3 MB | `a0e5b4f0c96a` | SI-SDR 8.62 dB (original 8.71), DNSMOS 2.92 (2.95); output vs the original's 25.3 dB mean / 17.7 dB worst clip (mlx-audio float32: 25.3 / 17.7) | ## How to run DeepFilterNet3 (real-time speech enhancement at 48 kHz: ERB-band gains plus deep filtering of the low band) for [mlx-audio](https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-audio). Each folder holds `model.safetensors` (the official checkpoint's state dict, PyTorch names, cast to the precision) and `config.json` (the model's `config.ini` as mlx-audio reads it). Tested with `mlx-audio==0.6.5`: ```python from mlx_audio.sts.models.deepfilternet import DeepFilterNetModel import soundfile as sf model = DeepFilterNetModel.from_pretrained("fp16", subfolder=None) # a downloaded folder model.enhance_file("noisy.wav", "clean.wav") # 48 kHz in and out ``` Only `bf16/` and `fp16/`: the network has 2.2 M parameters, and mlx-audio's DeepFilterNet loader maps the PyTorch weights by name and takes no quantized tensors. **How they were checked.** 8 noisy 48 kHz clips (LibriSpeech speech with babble or pink noise, 0-10 dB SNR), enhanced by the original (the official `deepfilternet` 0.5.6 package: PyTorch, float32, libDF's STFT and features) and by every MLX build: SI-SDR against the clean speech, DNSMOS P.835, and how close each output is to the original's. Pass: SI-SDR on every clip at most 0.5 dB below the original's, mean DNSMOS at most 0.1 below. mlx-audio's DeepFilterNet3 is a reimplementation: even in float32 its output is 25 dB from the original's (17.7 dB on the worst clip), with the same enhancement quality on these measures. | Precision | Size | SI-SDR (dB) | DNSMOS | Output vs the original's, mean / worst clip (dB) | Real-time factor, M5 24 GB | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | noisy input | - | 4.99 | 2.10 | - | - | | original (PyTorch fp32, CPU) | - | 8.71 | 2.95 | - | 0.018 | | `fp16/` | 4.3 MB | 8.62 | 2.92 | 25.3 / 17.7 | 0.022 | | `bf16/` (experimental) | 4.3 MB | 8.58 (0.66 below the original on one clip) | 2.93 | 25.2 / 16.3 | 0.022 | ## How these were made From [DeepFilterNet3](https://github.com/Rikorose/DeepFilterNet) at revision `7b14b895fe`: the original weights loaded in MLX and stored as bf16 or fp16, or quantized with MLX's affine quantization (`8bit`, `6bit`, `4bit`, group size 64; layers MLX can't quantize, such as convolutions and norms, stay bf16). Every build was checked against the original before upload; the `sha256` column above is what the files must hash to. ## License MIT/Apache-2.0.

You can use `deep-filter` to suppress noise in noisy .wav audio files. Currently, only wav files with a sampling rate of 48kHz are supported. ```bash USAGE: deep-filter [OPTIONS] [FILES]... ARGS: ... OPTIONS: -D, --compensate-delay Compensate delay of STFT and model lookahead -h, --help Print help information -m, --model Path to model tar.gz. Defaults to DeepFilterNet2. -o, --out-dir [default: out] --pf Enable postfilter -v, --verbose Logging verbosity -V, --version Print version information ``` If you want to use the pytorch backend e.g. for GPU processing, see further below for the Python usage. ### DeepFilterNet Framework This framework supports Linux, MacOS and Windows. Training is only tested under Linux. The framework is structured as follows: * `libDF` contains Rust code used for data loading and augmentation. * `DeepFilterNet` contains DeepFilterNet code training, evaluation and visualization as well as pretrained model weights. * `pyDF` contains a Python wrapper of libDF STFT/ISTFT processing loop. * `pyDF-data` contains a Python wrapper of libDF dataset functionality and provides a pytorch data loader. * `ladspa` contains a LADSPA plugin for real-time noise suppression. * `models` contains pretrained for usage in DeepFilterNet (Python) or libDF/deep-filter (Rust) ### DeepFilterNet Python: PyPI Install the DeepFilterNet Python wheel via pip: ```bash # Install cpu/cuda pytorch (>=1.9) dependency from pytorch.org, e.g.: pip install torch torchaudio -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch_stable.html # Install DeepFilterNet pip install deepfilternet # Or install DeepFilterNet including data loading functionality for training (Linux only) pip install deepfilternet[train] ``` To enhance noisy audio files using DeepFilterNet run ```bash # Specify an output directory with --output-dir [OUTPUT_DIR] deepFilter path/to/noisy_audio.wav ``` ### Manual Installation Install cargo via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/). Usage of a `conda` or `virtualenv` recommended. Please read the comments and only execute the commands that you need. Installation of python dependencies and libDF: ```bash cd path/to/DeepFilterNet/ # cd into repository # Recommended: Install or activate a python env # Mandatory: Install cpu/cuda pytorch (>=1.8) dependency from pytorch.org, e.g.: pip install torch torchaudio -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch_stable.html # Install build dependencies used to compile libdf and DeepFilterNet python wheels pip install maturin poetry # Install remaining DeepFilterNet python dependencies # *Option A:* Install DeepFilterNet python wheel globally within your environment. Do this if you want use # this repos as is, and don't want to develop within this repository. poetry -C DeepFilterNet install -E train -E eval # *Option B:* If you want to develop within this repo, install only dependencies and work with the repository version poetry -C DeepFilterNet install -E train -E eval --no-root export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/DeepFilterNet # And set the python path correctly # Build and install libdf python package required for enhance.py maturin develop --release -m pyDF/Cargo.toml # *Optional*: Install libdfdata python package with dataset and dataloading functionality for training # Required build dependency: HDF5 headers (e.g. ubuntu: libhdf5-dev) maturin develop --release -m pyDF-data/Cargo.toml # If you have troubles with hdf5 you may try to build and link hdf5 statically: maturin develop --release --features hdf5-static -m pyDF-data/Cargo.toml ``` ### Use DeepFilterNet from command line To enhance noisy audio files using DeepFilterNet run ```bash $ python DeepFilterNet/df/enhance.py --help usage: enhance.py [-h] [--model-base-dir MODEL_BASE_DIR] [--pf] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL] [--compensate-delay] noisy_audio_files [noisy_audio_files ...] positional arguments: noisy_audio_files List of noise files to mix with the clean speech file. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --model-base-dir MODEL_BASE_DIR, -m MODEL_BASE_DIR Model directory containing checkpoints and config. To load a pretrained model, you may just provide the model name, e.g. `DeepFilterNet`. By default, the pretrained DeepFilterNet2 model is loaded. --pf Post-filter that slightly over-attenuates very noisy sections. --output-dir OUTPUT_DIR, -o OUTPUT_DIR Directory in which the enhanced audio files will be stored. --log-level LOG_LEVEL Logger verbosity. Can be one of (debug, info, error, none) --compensate-delay, -D Add some paddig to compensate the delay introduced by the real-time STFT/ISTFT implementation. # Enhance audio with original DeepFilterNet python DeepFilterNet/df/enhance.py -m DeepFilterNet path/to/noisy_audio.wav # Enhance audio with DeepFilterNet2 python DeepFilterNet/df/enhance.py -m DeepFilterNet2 path/to/noisy_audio.wav ``` ### Use DeepFilterNet within your Python script ```py from df import enhance, init_df model, df_state, _ = init_df() # Load default model enhanced_audio = enhance(model, df_state, noisy_audio) ``` See [here](https://github.com/Rikorose/DeepFilterNet/blob/main/scripts/external_usage.py) for a full example. ### Training The entry point is `DeepFilterNet/df/train.py`. It expects a data directory containing HDF5 dataset as well as a dataset configuration json file. So, you first need to create your datasets in HDF5 format. Each dataset typically only holds training, validation, or test set of noise, speech or RIRs. ```py # Install additional dependencies for dataset creation pip install h5py librosa soundfile # Go to DeepFilterNet python package cd path/to/DeepFilterNet/DeepFilterNet # Prepare text file (e.g. called training_set.txt) containing paths to .wav files # # usage: prepare_data.py [-h] [--num_workers NUM_WORKERS] [--max_freq MAX_FREQ] [--sr SR] [--dtype DTYPE] # [--codec CODEC] [--mono] [--compression COMPRESSION] # type audio_files hdf5_db # # where: # type: One of `speech`, `noise`, `rir` # audio_files: Text file containing paths to audio files to include in the dataset # hdf5_db: Output HDF5 dataset. python df/scripts/prepare_data.py --sr 48000 speech training_set.txt TRAIN_SET_SPEECH.hdf5 ``` All datasets should be made available in one dataset folder for the train script. The dataset configuration file should contain 3 entries: "train", "valid", "test". Each of those contains a list of datasets (e.g. a speech, noise and a RIR dataset). You can use multiple speech or noise dataset. Optionally, a sampling factor may be specified that can be used to over/under-sample the dataset. Say, you have a specific dataset with transient noises and want to increase the amount of non-stationary noises by oversampling. In most cases you want to set this factor to 1.
Dataset config example:

`dataset.cfg` ```json { "train": [ [ "TRAIN_SET_SPEECH.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "TRAIN_SET_NOISE.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "TRAIN_SET_RIR.hdf5", 1.0 ] ], "valid": [ [ "VALID_SET_SPEECH.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "VALID_SET_NOISE.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "VALID_SET_RIR.hdf5", 1.0 ] ], "test": [ [ "TEST_SET_SPEECH.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "TEST_SET_NOISE.hdf5", 1.0 ], [ "TEST_SET_RIR.hdf5", 1.0 ] ] } ```

Finally, start the training script. The training script may create a model `base_dir` if not existing used for logging, some audio samples, model checkpoints, and config. If no config file is found, it will create a default config. See [DeepFilterNet/pretrained_models/DeepFilterNet](https://github.com/Rikorose/DeepFilterNet/blob/main/DeepFilterNet/pretrained_models/DeepFilterNet/config.ini) for a config file. ```py # usage: train.py [-h] [--debug] data_config_file data_dir base_dir python df/train.py path/to/dataset.cfg path/to/data_dir/ path/to/base_dir/ ``` ## Citation Guide To reproduce any metrics, we recomend to use the python implementation via `pip install deepfilternet`.
