Much better balance now. KL stabilized around 1.15 instead of growing unbounded. All losses are dropping healthily. Let me clean up the test output and finalize.

# LeWM TTS Project

## Overview
Adapting LeWM (LeWorldModel) JEPA architecture for Text-to-Speech synthesis.
- Paper: https://le-wm.github.io/
- Project folder: `/home/ubuntu/lewm-tts`

## Architecture (Implemented)
- **TextEncoder**: Byte-level char transformer (4 layers, 256d, 4 heads)
- **AudioEncoder**: 1D CNN (stride 4 downsample) + Transformer (4 layers) → mu/logvar → reparameterization
- **JEPAPredictor**: Transformer decoder (6 layers) with causal self-attn + cross-attn to text
- **MelDecoder**: Transposed-conv upsampler (4x) → reconstructs mel from latents
- **Vocoder**: Griffin-Lim (fallback; HiFi-GAN planned)
- **3 losses**: prediction (MSE), KL (Gaussian regularizer), reconstruction (L1 mel)
- **Model size**: 14.50M parameters
- **KL annealing**: ramps up over first 20% of training

## Files
- `preprocess.py` — segments audio, extracts mels, saves manifest
- `model.py` — TextEncoder, AudioEncoder, JEPAPredictor, MelDecoder, LeWMTTS
- `dataset.py` — TTSDataset, collate_fn, build_dataloader

Here's a summary of everything that's built and tested:

## LeWM TTS — Complete Pipeline

**Project**: `/home/ubuntu/lewm-tts/`

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `preprocess.py` | Segments audio, extracts mels → 7,009 segments from 2,330 clips |
| `model.py` | Full JEPA architecture — 14.5M params |
| `dataset.py` | DataLoader with byte-level tokenization + padding |
| `train.py` | Training loop with KL annealing, checkpointing, TensorBoard |
| `inference.py` | AR generation → mel → waveform |

**Verified**:
- Forward/backward pass on GPU
- All 3 losses converge (prediction: 1.54→0.017, recon: 2.25→0.68, KL: stable ~1.15)
- Training is stable — no NaNs, no spikes
- ~27s/epoch on A100 — full 200 epochs ≈ 1.5 hours
- Inference pipeline produces audio output

**To start full training**:
```bash
cd /home/ubuntu/lewm-tts
python3 train.py --epochs 200 --batch_size 16 --lr 1e-4 --kl_weight 0.1
```

Want me to kick off the full training run?


is batch_szie 16 ok or can we increas ?


Let me check GPU memory usage with batch_size 16 to see how much headroom we have on the A100 80GB.


Bash

python3 -c "
import torch
from model import build_model
from dataset import build_dataloader

device = torch.device('cuda')
model, config = build_model()
model = model.to(device)

loader, dataset = build_dataloader('processed_data/manifest.json', batch_size=16, num_workers=0)
batch = next(iter(loader))

torch.cuda.reset_peak_memory_stats()
model.train()
mel = batch['mel'].to(device)
text = batch['text_tokens'].to(device)
mel_mask = batch['mel_mask'].to(device)
text_mask = batch['text_mask'].to(device)

losses = model(mel, text, mel_mask, text_mask)
losses['total_loss'].backward()

peak_16 = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() / 1024**3
print(f'Batch 16: {peak_16:.2f} GB peak (of 80 GB)')
print(f'Headroom: {80 - peak_16:.1f} GB')
print(f'Estimated max batch size: ~{int(16 * 80 / peak_16 * 0.85)}')
" 2>&1

Measure GPU memory at batch_size=16


LeWM TTS model: 14.50M parameters
Dataset: 6959 samples loaded
Batch 16: 1.71 GB peak (of 80 GB)
Headroom: 78.3 GB
Estimated max batch size: ~635


Only **1.71 GB** out of 80 GB — massive headroom. But memory scales non-linearly with sequence length variance, so let me test a few larger sizes with real data.

        model, _ = build_model()
        model = model.to(device)
        model.train()

        loader, _ = build_dataloader('processed_data/manifest.json', batch_size=bs, num_workers=0)

        losses['total_loss'].backward()

        peak = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() / 1024**3
        n_batches = 6959 // bs
        print(f'Batch {bs:>3}: {peak:.2f} GB | {n_batches} batches/epoch')

        del model, loader, batch, mel, text, mel_mask, text_mask, losses
        torch.cuda.empty_cache()
    except RuntimeError as e:

Batch 256: 32.34 GB | 27 batches/epoch


All fit easily. Here's the tradeoff:

| Batch Size | GPU Memory | Batches/Epoch | Best For |
|-----------|-----------|---------------|----------|
| 16 | 1.7 GB | 434 | Conservative, more gradient updates |
| 32 | 3.6 GB | 217 | Good balance |
| 64 | 7.4 GB | 108 | **Sweet spot** — fast epochs, good gradients |
| 128 | 14.7 GB | 54 | Fast but may need higher LR |
| 256 | 32.3 GB | 27 | Very fast epochs, risk of underfitting |

**Recommendation: batch_size=64**. It uses only 7.4 GB (9% of your A100), cuts epoch time roughly in half, and the gradient estimates are more stable with larger batches. Going beyond 128 with this model size risks diminishing returns — the model is small enough that it benefits from more frequent updates.

Want me to start the full training with `--batch_size 64`?

i have a question does it learns langaiges with only 20hrs ? dont stop teaing ..just answer question


Short answer: **Yes, but it's not learning the language — it's learning the voice.**

Here's the distinction:

**What the model actually learns from 20hrs:**
- The acoustic patterns of Modi's voice (timbre, pitch, resonance)
- How Hindi phonemes sound in his voice
- His prosody, rhythm, and breathing patterns
- The mapping from text bytes → mel spectrograms for this one speaker

**What it does NOT learn:**
- Hindi grammar or meaning
- How to generalize to unseen Hindi words it never heard
- Language understanding

**Why 20hrs is enough for this:** The model isn't doing NLU — it's doing pattern matching from byte sequences to audio patterns. With 7,009 segments covering most common Hindi phoneme combinations, it has enough examples to learn "when I see these bytes, produce this sound." It's essentially a lookup + interpolation system, not a language model.

**The potential gap:** If the training text doesn't cover certain rare Hindi sounds or words, the model will struggle with those at inference. But for common speech patterns, 20hrs of a single speaker is plenty — LJSpeech (the gold standard single-speaker dataset) is 24hrs and produces near-perfect English TTS.

**For Hindi specifically:** Devanagari is actually easier than English for TTS because it's largely phonetic — letters map consistently to sounds. So the byte-level text encoder can learn the text→sound mapping more efficiently than it would for English.

Training is still running — not touching it.


see what about after this traing with 2000 hrs of data with speaker labellsing


The user is asking about scaling up to 2000 hours of multi-speaker data after the current single-speaker training. This is a good question about the architecture's scalability.


Great question — scaling from 20hrs single-speaker to 2000hrs multi-speaker is a big jump. Here's the honest breakdown:

**What changes with 2000hrs multi-speaker:**

| Aspect | 20hrs / 1 speaker | 2000hrs / many speakers |
|--------|-------------------|------------------------|
| Model size | 14.5M (fine) | Need 50-150M+ |
| Speaker identity | Not needed | Speaker embeddings required |
| Latent space | Simple, tight | Much more complex |
| Training time | ~1.5hrs on 1 GPU | Days on multi-GPU |
| Text-audio alignment | Easy (one style) | Hard (many styles/accents) |

**What you'd need to add to the architecture:**

1. **Speaker embedding table** — a learned vector per speaker, concatenated or added to the text/audio conditioning. Simple addition to the model.

2. **Bigger model** — 256d won't be enough to represent hundreds of voices. You'd scale to 512d or 768d, more layers. Maybe 80-150M params.

3. **Speaker-conditioned predictor** — the JEPA predictor needs to know *whose* voice to predict. Cross-attention to a speaker embedding works well.

4. **The architecture fundamentally works though** — JEPA's next-embedding prediction is speaker-agnostic by design. You're just predicting "next audio embedding given context." Adding a speaker signal is a conditioning change, not an architectural redesign.

**The real power unlock with 2000hrs:**

- **Zero-shot voice cloning** — give a 10s reference clip of a new speaker, extract their embedding, generate in their voice
- **Hindi + English + other languages** — the byte-level text encoder already handles any Unicode, so multi-lingual comes almost free
- **Better prosody** — more speakers = more diverse prosody patterns = more natural output

**Realistic training plan:**

```
Phase 1 (now):     20hrs, 1 speaker, 14.5M params → learn the approach works
Phase 2:           Scale model to ~100M params, add speaker embeddings
Phase 3:           Train on 2000hrs multi-speaker
Phase 4:           Fine-tune on specific voices with just 5-10 mins of audio
```

**Would it revolutionize things at 2000hrs?** Now we're talking. A JEPA-based multi-speaker TTS with stable 2-loss training, trained on 2000hrs, that can clone voices from 10s of audio — that's genuinely competitive with VALL-E and VoiceCraft, but with a much simpler training recipe. That's publishable.

The current 20hr single-speaker run is exactly the right Phase 1. Prove the architecture works, then scale.

Analyze generated audio quality


Duration: 12.79s
RMS: 0.0510
Peak: 0.3020
Zero crossings: 12084
Energy in speech band (100-4000Hz): 99.5%
  (>70% suggests speech-like structure, <50% suggests noise)
Energy variation (CoV): 0.283
  (>0.3 suggests dynamic audio like speech, <0.1 suggests static noise)


**Results at epoch 10:**

| Metric | Value | What it means |
|--------|-------|---------------|
| Duration | 12.79s | Reasonable length |
| Speech band energy | 99.5% | Almost all energy is in speech frequencies |
| Energy variation | 0.283 | Some dynamics, borderline speech-like |
| Peak amplitude | 0.30 | Good, not clipping |

**Verdict:** It's producing audio with speech-like spectral structure (99.5% in speech band is very good), but the temporal dynamics are still weak (0.283 — should be >0.3 for clear speech). At epoch 10 this is expected — the model is learning the rough spectral shape but hasn't captured fine prosody yet.

Also, Griffin-Lim vocoder is inherently limited — it produces buzzy, metallic audio. The real quality test will be after full training + a proper vocoder like HiFi-GAN.

The file is at `/home/ubuntu/lewm-tts/output/test_sample_epoch10.wav` if you want to listen. Training is still running — should sound much better after 200 epochs.


'it is just pure noise


The user says the output is pure noise. That's a problem. Let me think about why.

The issue is likely with the inference pipeline. At epoch 10, the model has learned to predict next embeddings from existing audio embeddings, but during inference we start from zeros and autoregressively generate — the model has never seen zero-initialized embeddings during training. The generated embeddings probably drift into nonsensical territory.

Also, Griffin-Lim on predicted mels from a partially trained model is going to sound terrible.

But more fundamentally, there are architectural issues with the inference approach:

1. **The start token problem**: We initialize with zeros, but during training the model sees real audio embeddings. There's a train/inference mismatch.

2. **The mel decoder quality**: The simple transposed convolution decoder might not be reconstructing good mels even from ground truth embeddings.
3. **Autoregressive drift**: Errors accumulate across hundreds of generation steps.

I should test whether the mel decoder can actually reconstruct reasonable audio from real embeddings first — if it can't, then inference is doomed regardless of the other issues.


That's expected at this stage honestly. Let me diagnose exactly where the problem is — is it the AR generation drifting, the mel decoder, or the vocoder?

Found the problems. Here's the diagnosis:

1. **Mel decoder works OK** — L1 error 0.59, range is reasonable, reconstruction is in the right ballpark
2. **Griffin-Lim on real mel works** — RMS 0.079, should be audible
3. **AR generation drifts badly** — distance 3.095 between AR and real embeddings. The AR predictions don't match ground truth well enough yet.
4. **The zero start token was wrong** — real embeddings have norm ~5.9, we were starting from zeros (norm 0)

The main issues are: (1) starting from zeros during inference, and (2) only 10 epochs of training. Let me fix the inference and also check if the ground truth reconstructions sound OK.

Now you have 4 files to compare in `/home/ubuntu/lewm-tts/output/`:

| File | What it tests |
|------|--------------|
| `test_groundtruth_gl.wav` | Real mel → Griffin-Lim (vocoder quality baseline) |
| `test_reconstruct.wav` | Real mel → encoder → decoder → Griffin-Lim (decoder quality) |
| `test_predict_tf.wav` | Real mel → encoder → predictor → decoder → Griffin-Lim (prediction quality) |
| `test_ar_synth.wav` | Text → AR generation → decoder → Griffin-Lim (full pipeline) |

**Listen to them in order.** This tells us exactly where quality breaks down:
- If `groundtruth_gl` sounds bad → Griffin-Lim vocoder is the bottleneck (need HiFi-GAN)
- If `reconstruct` sounds bad but GT is fine → mel decoder needs more training
- If `predict_tf` sounds bad but reconstruct is fine → predictor needs more training
- If `ar_synth` sounds bad but predict_tf is fine → AR drift is the issue

At epoch 10 with only 7% of training done, some degradation is expected. But this will pinpoint what to fix. Can you listen and tell me which ones sound OK vs noise?


groundtruth_gl - robitic ,reconstruct - too robotic spech cmng but i can listen too much robotictic and same precittf also and ar_synth is poure noise


OK so the diagnosis is clear:

1. **Griffin-Lim is the main quality bottleneck** — even ground truth mel sounds robotic. This is expected — Griffin-Lim is a very basic vocoder that reconstructs phase from magnitude, and it always sounds metallic/robotic.

2. **Reconstruction and teacher-forced prediction work** — speech is coming through, just robotic due to Griffin-Lim. This means the encoder, decoder, and predictor are all learning correctly.

3. **AR synthesis is pure noise** — this is the AR drift problem. At only 10 epochs, the predictor hasn't converged enough for free-running AR generation.

The fix is straightforward: swap out Griffin-Lim for HiFi-GAN, which will give a massive quality boost, and then let the AR predictor train longer while potentially tuning the teacher forcing ratio. I need to find a pretrained HiFi-GAN that's compatible with 80-mel spectrograms at 24kHz with a hop length of 256.


The diagnosis is clear:

1. **Griffin-Lim is the main bottleneck** — even real mel sounds robotic. That's a known limitation of Griffin-Lim.
2. **Encoder/decoder/predictor are working** — speech is coming through in reconstruct and predict_tf. The model IS learning.
3. **AR drift** — needs more training (only 10 epochs done).

The biggest win right now is replacing Griffin-Lim with a pretrained HiFi-GAN vocoder. Let me do that.
