This repo contains code for our paper: PANNs: Large-Scale Pretrained Audio Neural Networks for Audio Pattern Recognition [1]. A variety of CNNs are trained on the large-scale AudioSet dataset [2] containing 5000 hours audio with 527 sound classes. A mean average precision (mAP) of 0.439 is achieved using our proposed Wavegram-Logmel-CNN system, outperforming the Google baseline of 0.317 [3]. The PANNs have been used for audio tagging and sound event detection. The PANNs have been used to fine-tune several audio pattern recoginition tasks, and have outperformed several state-of-the-art systems.
The codebase is developed with Python 3.7. Install requirements as follows:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Users can inference the tags of an audio recording using pretrained models without training. Details can be viewed at scripts/0_inference.sh First, downloaded one pretrained model from https://zenodo.org/record/3987831, for example, the model named "Cnn14_mAP=0.431.pth". Then, execute the following commands to inference this audio:
CHECKPOINT_PATH="Cnn14_mAP=0.431.pth"
wget -O $CHECKPOINT_PATH https://zenodo.org/record/3987831/files/Cnn14_mAP%3D0.431.pth?download=1
MODEL_TYPE="Cnn14"
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 pytorch/inference.py audio_tagging \
--model_type=$MODEL_TYPE \
--checkpoint_path=$CHECKPOINT_PATH \
--audio_path="resources/R9_ZSCveAHg_7s.wav" \
--cuda
Then the result will be printed on the screen looks like:
Speech: 0.893
Telephone bell ringing: 0.754
Inside, small room: 0.235
Telephone: 0.183
Music: 0.092

Inside, large room or hall: 0.028
Alarm: 0.014
Animal: 0.009
Vehicle: 0.008

If users would like to use 16 kHz model for inference, just do:
CHECKPOINT_PATH="Cnn14_16k_mAP=0.438.pth" # Trained by a later code version, achieves higher mAP than the paper.
wget -O $CHECKPOINT_PATH https://zenodo.org/record/3987831/files/Cnn14_16k_mAP%3D0.438.pth?download=1

Some of PANNs such as DecisionLevelMax (the best), DecisionLevelAvg, DecisionLevelAtt) can be used for frame-wise sound event detection. For example, execute the following commands to inference sound event detection results on this audio:
CHECKPOINT_PATH="Cnn14_DecisionLevelMax_mAP=0.385.pth"
wget -O $CHECKPOINT_PATH https://zenodo.org/record/3987831/files/Cnn14_DecisionLevelMax_mAP%3D0.385.pth?download=1

--model_type=$MODEL_TYPE \
--checkpoint_path=$CHECKPOINT_PATH \
--audio_path="resources/R9_ZSCveAHg_7s.wav" \
--cuda
The visualization of sound event detection result looks like:
Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyFNIhRxFrY for a sound event detection demo.
For those users who only want to use the pretrained models for inference, we have prepared a panns_inference tool which can be easily installed by:
pip install panns_inference
Please visit https://github.com/qiuqiangkong/panns_inference for details of panns_inference.
Users can train PANNs from scratch as follows.
The scripts/1_download_dataset.sh script is used for downloading all audio and metadata from the internet. The total size of AudioSet is around 1.1 TB. Notice there can be missing files on YouTube, so the numebr of files downloaded by users can be different from time to time. Our downloaded version contains 20550 / 22160 of the balaned training subset, 1913637 / 2041789 of the unbalanced training subset, and 18887 / 20371 of the evaluation subset.
For reproducibility, our downloaded dataset can be accessed at: link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/13WnzI1XDSvqXZQTS-Kqujg, password: 0vc2

The scripts/2_pack_waveforms_to_hdf5s.sh script is used for packing all raw waveforms into 43 large hdf5 files for speed up training: one for balanced training subset, one for evaluation subset and 41 for unbalanced traning subset. The packed files looks like:

The scripts/3_create_training_indexes.sh is used for creating training indexes. Those indexes are used for sampling mini-batches.
The scripts/4_train.sh script contains training, saving checkpoints, and evaluation.

An mean average precision (mAP) of 0.431 is obtained. The training curve looks like:
Results of PANNs on AudioSet tagging. Dash and solid lines are training mAP and evaluation mAP, respectively. The six plots show the results with different: (a) architectures; (b) data balancing and data augmentation; (c) embedding size; (d) amount of training data; (e) sampling rate; (f) number of mel bins.
Top rows show the previously proposed methods using embedding features provided by Google. Previous best system achieved an mAP of 0.369 using large feature-attention neural networks. We propose to train neural networks directly from audio recordings. Our CNN14 achieves an mAP of 0.431, and Wavegram-Logmel-CNN achieves an mAP of 0.439.

Here is an example of fine-tuning PANNs to GTZAN music classification: https://github.com/qiuqiangkong/panns_transfer_to_gtzan
We apply the audio tagging system to build a sound event detection (SED) system. The SED prediction is obtained by applying the audio tagging system on consecutive 2-second segments. The video of demo can be viewed at:

If users came across out of memory error, then try to reduce the batch size.
