Introduction to our series work

The development log of our Music Audio Pre-training (m-a-p) model family:

  • 02/06/2023: arxiv pre-print and training codes released.
  • 17/03/2023: we release two advanced music understanding models, MERT-v1-95M and MERT-v1-330M , trained with new paradigm and dataset. They outperform the previous models and can better generalize to more tasks.
  • 14/03/2023: we retrained the MERT-v0 model with open-source-only music dataset MERT-v0-public
  • 29/12/2022: a music understanding model MERT-v0 trained with MLM paradigm, which performs better at downstream tasks.
  • 29/10/2022: a pre-trained MIR model music2vec trained with BYOL paradigm.

Here is a table for quick model pick-up:

Explanation

The m-a-p models share the similar model architecture and the most distinguished difference is the paradigm in used pre-training. Other than that, there are several nuance technical configuration needs to know before using:

  • Model Size: the number of parameters that would be loaded to memory. Please select the appropriate size fitting your hardware.
  • Transformer Layer-Dimension: The number of transformer layers and the corresponding feature dimensions can be outputted from our model. This is marked out because features extracted by different layers could have various performance depending on tasks.
  • Feature Rate: Given a 1-second audio input, the number of features output by the model.
  • Sample Rate: The frequency of audio that the model is trained with.

Introduction to MERT-v0-public

MERT-v0-public is a completely unsupervised model trained on completely non-comercial open-source Music4All dataset and the part of FMA_full dataset that does not include tag "experimental".

The training settings and model usage of MERT-v0-public can be referred to the MERT-v0 model.

Details are reported at the short article Large-Scale Pretrained Model for Self-Supervised Music Audio Representation Learning.

from datasets import load_dataset


# loading our model weights
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("m-a-p/MERT-v0-public", trust_remote_code=True)
# loading the corresponding preprocessor config
processor = Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("m-a-p/MERT-v0-public",trust_remote_code=True)

# load demo audio and set processor
dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")
dataset = dataset.sort("id")
sampling_rate = dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate

resample_rate = processor.sampling_rate
# make sure the sample_rate aligned
if resample_rate != sampling_rate:
    print(f'setting rate from {sampling_rate} to {resample_rate}')
    resampler = T.Resample(sampling_rate, resample_rate)
else:
    resampler = None

# audio file is decoded on the fly
if resampler is None:
    input_audio = dataset[0]["audio"]["array"]
else:
  input_audio = resampler(torch.from_numpy(dataset[0]["audio"]["array"]))
  
inputs = processor(input_audio, sampling_rate=resample_rate, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs, output_hidden_states=True)

# take a look at the output shape, there are 13 layers of representation
# each layer performs differently in different downstream tasks, you should choose empirically
all_layer_hidden_states = torch.stack(outputs.hidden_states).squeeze()
print(all_layer_hidden_states.shape) # [13 layer, Time steps, 768 feature_dim]

# for utterance level classification tasks, you can simply reduce the representation in time
time_reduced_hidden_states = all_layer_hidden_states.mean(-2)
print(time_reduced_hidden_states.shape) # [13, 768]

# you can even use a learnable weighted average representation
aggregator = nn.Conv1d(in_channels=13, out_channels=1, kernel_size=1)
weighted_avg_hidden_states = aggregator(time_reduced_hidden_states.unsqueeze(0)).squeeze()
print(weighted_avg_hidden_states.shape) # [768]
