Kapre
Keras Audio Preprocessors - compute STFT, ISTFT, Melspectrogram, and others on GPU real-time.
Tested on Python 3.6 and 3.7
Why Kapre?
vs. Pre-computation
- You can optimize DSP parameters
- Your model deployment becomes much simpler and consistent.
- Your code and model has less dependencies
vs. Your own implementation
- Quick and easy!
- Consistent with 1D/2D tensorflow batch shapes
- Data format agnostic (
channels_firstandchannels_last) - Less error prone - Kapre layers are tested against Librosa (stft, decibel, etc) - which is (trust me) trickier than you think.
- Kapre layers have some extended APIs from the default
tf.signalsimplementation such as..- A perfectly invertible
STFTandInverseSTFTpair - Mel-spectrogram with more options
- A perfectly invertible
- Reproducibility - Kapre is available on pip with versioning
Workflow with Kapre
- Preprocess your audio dataset. Resample the audio to the right sampling rate and store the audio signals (waveforms).
- In your ML model, add Kapre layer e.g.
kapre.time_frequency.STFT()as the first layer of the model. - The data loader simply loads audio signals and feed them into the model
- In your hyperparameter search, include DSP parameters like
n_fftto boost the performance. - When deploying the final model, all you need to remember is the sampling rate of the signal. No dependency or preprocessing!
Installation
pip install kapre

One-shot example
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, BatchNormalization, ReLU, GlobalAveragePooling2D, Dense, Softmax
from kapre import STFT, Magnitude, MagnitudeToDecibel
from kapre.composed import get_melspectrogram_layer, get_log_frequency_spectrogram_layer
# 6 channels (!), maybe 1-sec audio signal, for an example.
input_shape = (44100, 6)
sr = 44100
model = Sequential()
# A STFT layer
model.add(STFT(n_fft=2048, win_length=2018, hop_length=1024,
window_name=None, pad_end=False,
input_data_format='channels_last', output_data_format='channels_last',
input_shape=input_shape))
model.add(Magnitude())
model.add(MagnitudeToDecibel()) # these three layers can be replaced with get_stft_magnitude_layer()
# Alternatively, you may want to use a melspectrogram layer
# melgram_layer = get_melspectrogram_layer()
# or log-frequency layer
# log_stft_layer = get_log_frequency_spectrogram_layer()
# add more layers as you want
model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), strides=(2, 2)))
model.add(BatchNormalization())
model.add(ReLU())
model.add(GlobalAveragePooling2D())
model.add(Dense(10))
model.add(Softmax())
# Compile the model
model.compile('adam', 'categorical_crossentropy') # if single-label classification
# train it with raw audio sample inputs
# for example, you may have functions that load your data as below.
x = load_x() # e.g., x.shape = (10000, 6, 44100)
y = load_y() # e.g., y.shape = (10000, 10) if it's 10-class classification
# then..
model.fit(x, y)
# Done!
