yamnet

(Not recommended) YAMNet neural network

Since R2020b

    yamnet is not recommended. Use the audioPretrainedNetwork (Audio Toolbox) function instead.

    Description

    net = yamnet returns a pretrained YAMNet model.

    This function requires both Audio Toolbox™ and Deep Learning Toolbox™.

    example

    Examples

    collapse all

    Download and unzip the Audio Toolbox™ model for YAMNet.

    Type yamnet at the Command Window. If the Audio Toolbox model for YAMNet is not installed, then the function provides a link to the location of the network weights. To download the model, click the link. Unzip the file to a location on the MATLAB path.

    Alternatively, execute the following commands to download and unzip the YAMNet model to your temporary directory.

    downloadFolder = fullfile(tempdir,'YAMNetDownload');
    loc = websave(downloadFolder,'https://ssd.mathworks.com/supportfiles/audio/yamnet.zip');
    YAMNetLocation = tempdir;
    unzip(loc,YAMNetLocation)
    addpath(fullfile(YAMNetLocation,'yamnet'))

    Check that the installation is successful by typing yamnet at the Command Window. If the network is installed, then the function returns a SeriesNetwork object.

    yamnet
    ans = 
      SeriesNetwork with properties:
    
             Layers: [86×1 nnet.cnn.layer.Layer]
         InputNames: {'input_1'}
        OutputNames: {'Sound'}
    
    

    Load a pretrained YAMNet convolutional neural network and examine the layers and classes.

    Use yamnet to load the pretrained YAMNet network. The output net is a SeriesNetwork object.

    net = yamnet
    net = 
      SeriesNetwork with properties:
    
             Layers: [86×1 nnet.cnn.layer.Layer]
         InputNames: {'input_1'}
        OutputNames: {'Sound'}
    
    

    View the network architecture using the Layers property. The network has 86 layers. There are 28 layers with learnable weights: 27 convolutional layers, and 1 fully connected layer.

    YAMNet was released with a corresponding sound class ontology, which you can explore using the yamnetGraph (Audio Toolbox) object.

    ygraph = yamnetGraph;
    p = plot(ygraph);
    layout(p,'layered')

    The ontology graph plots all 521 possible sound classes. Plot a subgraph of the sounds related to respiratory sounds.

    allRespiratorySounds = dfsearch(ygraph,"Respiratory sounds");
    ygraphSpeech = subgraph(ygraph,allRespiratorySounds);
    plot(ygraphSpeech)

    Read in an audio signal to classify it.

    [audioIn,fs] = audioread("TrainWhistle-16-44p1-mono-9secs.wav");

    Plot and listen to the audio signal.

    t = (0:numel(audioIn)-1)/fs;
    plot(t,audioIn)
    xlabel("Time (s)")
    ylabel("Ampltiude")
    axis tight

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel Time (s), ylabel Ampltiude contains an object of type line.

    sound(audioIn,fs)

    YAMNet requires you to preprocess the audio signal to match the input format used to train the network. The preprocesssing steps include resampling the audio signal and computing an array of mel spectrograms. To learn more about mel spectrograms, see melSpectrogram (Audio Toolbox). Use yamnetPreprocess to preprocess the signal and extract the mel spectrograms to be passed to YAMNet. Visualize one of these spectrograms chosen at random.

    spectrograms = yamnetPreprocess(audioIn,fs);
    
    arbitrarySpect = spectrograms(:,:,1,randi(size(spectrograms,4)));
    surf(arbitrarySpect,EdgeColor="none")
    view([90 -90])
    xlabel("Mel Band")
    ylabel("Frame")
    title("Mel Spectrogram for YAMNet")
    axis tight

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Mel Spectrogram for YAMNet, xlabel Mel Band, ylabel Frame contains an object of type surface.

    Create a YAMNet neural network using the audioPretrainedNetwork function. Call predict with the network on the preprocessed mel spectrogram images. Convert the network output to class labels using scores2label.

    [net,classNames] = audioPretrainedNetwork("yamnet");
    scores = predict(net,spectrograms);
    classes = scores2label(scores,classNames);

    The classification step returns a label for each of the spectrogram images in the input. Classify the sound as the most frequently occurring label in the output.

    mySound = mode(classes)
    mySound = categorical

    Download and unzip the air compressor data set [1]. This data set consists of recordings from air compressors in a healthy state or one of 7 faulty states.

    url = "https://www.mathworks.com/supportfiles/audio/AirCompressorDataset/AirCompressorDataset.zip";
    downloadFolder = fullfile(tempdir,"aircompressordataset");
    datasetLocation = tempdir;
    
    if ~exist(fullfile(tempdir,"AirCompressorDataSet"),"dir")
        loc = websave(downloadFolder,url);
        unzip(loc,fullfile(tempdir,"AirCompressorDataSet"))
    end

    Create an audioDatastore (Audio Toolbox) object to manage the data and split it into train and validation sets.

    ads = audioDatastore(downloadFolder,IncludeSubfolders=true,LabelSource="foldernames");
    
    [adsTrain,adsValidation] = splitEachLabel(ads,0.8,0.2);

    Read an audio file from the datastore and save the sample rate for later use. Reset the datastore to return the read pointer to the beginning of the data set. Listen to the audio signal and plot the signal in the time domain.

    [x,fileInfo] = read(adsTrain);
    fs = fileInfo.SampleRate;
    
    reset(adsTrain)
    
    sound(x,fs)
    
    figure
    t = (0:size(x,1)-1)/fs;
    plot(t,x)
    xlabel("Time (s)")
    title("State = " + string(fileInfo.Label))
    axis tight

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title State = Bearing, xlabel Time (s) contains an object of type line.

    Extract Mel spectrograms from the train set using yamnetPreprocess. There are multiple spectrograms for each audio signal. Replicate the labels so that they are in one-to-one correspondence with the spectrograms.

    emptyLabelVector = adsTrain.Labels;
    emptyLabelVector(:) = [];
    
    trainFeatures = [];
    trainLabels = emptyLabelVector;
    while hasdata(adsTrain)
        [audioIn,fileInfo] = read(adsTrain);
        features = yamnetPreprocess(audioIn,fileInfo.SampleRate);
        numSpectrums = size(features,4);
        trainFeatures = cat(4,trainFeatures,features);
        trainLabels = cat(2,trainLabels,repmat(fileInfo.Label,1,numSpectrums));
    end

    Extract features from the validation set and replicate the labels.

    validationFeatures = [];
    validationLabels = emptyLabelVector;
    while hasdata(adsValidation)
        [audioIn,fileInfo] = read(adsValidation);
        features = yamnetPreprocess(audioIn,fileInfo.SampleRate);
        numSpectrums = size(features,4);
        validationFeatures = cat(4,validationFeatures,features);
        validationLabels = cat(2,validationLabels,repmat(fileInfo.Label,1,numSpectrums));
    end

    The air compressor data set has only 8 classes. Call audioPretrainedNetwork with NumClasses set to 8 to load a pretrained YAMNet network with the desired number of output classes for transfer learning.

    classNames = unique(adsTrain.Labels);
    numClasses = numel(classNames);
    
    net = audioPretrainedNetwork("yamnet",NumClasses=numClasses);

    To define training options, use trainingOptions.

    miniBatchSize = 128;
    validationFrequency = floor(numel(trainLabels)/miniBatchSize);
    options = trainingOptions('adam', ...
        InitialLearnRate=3e-4, ...
        MaxEpochs=2, ...

    To train the network, use trainnet.

    airCompressorNet = trainnet(trainFeatures,trainLabels',net,"crossentropy",options);

    Save the trained network to airCompressorNet.mat. You can now use this pre-trained network by loading the airCompressorNet.mat file.

    save airCompressorNet.mat airCompressorNet
