This is an on-going project. it is a modified version of Higgs-Boson audio tokenizer, you can fully train it. all scripts have been tested. a Few notes however:
- this is not backward compatible with the original checkpoint (I think you can tweak it to be, but you have to adhere to Boson community license if you do.) 
- I highly recommend you to pretrain the model without the mel and adversarial setup first. it saves you a significant amount of compute, time and speed-up your convergence. raise the batch size as much as you can before the adversarial phase. 
- for the semantic teacher, I am using - utter-project/mHuBERT-147which has a good multilingual support. if you want the original setup you can change it in the config.
- The loss weights and hyperparameters may not be ideal, feel free to play around with different values. 
I will train a checkpoint on a larger enough dataset one of these days after figuring out a few things first. but the setup is solid.
Training
python train_boson_mixed_precision.py --data_csv "yourdata.csv" \ # full path to your audio files, the format can be anything .mp3 .wav .ogg etc.
                                      --config config.json --batch_size 42  \
                                      --use_mixed_precision \
                                      --use_discriminator
Simple Inference
take a look at the notebook
Batch inference
take a look at boson_codeit.py
Happy using / training (inshallah).
