CoNeTTE is an audio captioning system, which generate a short textual description of the sound events in any audio file. 

<!-- </div> -->

CoNeTTE stands for ConvNeXt-Transformer model with Task Embedding, and the architecture and training is explained in the corresponding [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.00454.pdf). CoNeTTE has been developped by me ([Étienne Labbé](https://labbeti.github.io/)) during my PhD. 

## Installation
```bash
python -m pip install conette
```

## Usage with python
```py
from conette import CoNeTTEConfig, CoNeTTEModel

config = CoNeTTEConfig.from_pretrained("Labbeti/conette")
model = CoNeTTEModel.from_pretrained("Labbeti/conette", config=config)

path = "/your/path/to/audio.wav"
outputs = model(path)
candidate = outputs["cands"][0]
print(candidate)
```

The model can also accept several audio files at the same time (list[str]), or a list of pre-loaded audio files (list[Tensor]). In this second case you also need to provide the sampling rate of this files:

```py
import torchaudio

path_1 = "/your/path/to/audio_1.wav"
path_2 = "/your/path/to/audio_2.wav"

audio_1, sr_1 = torchaudio.load(path_1)
audio_2, sr_2 = torchaudio.load(path_2)

outputs = model([audio_1, audio_2], sr=[sr_1, sr_2])
candidates = outputs["cands"]
print(candidates)
```

The model can also produces different captions using a Task Embedding input which indicates the dataset caption style. The default task is "clotho".

```py
outputs = model(path, task="clotho")
candidate = outputs["cands"][0]
print(candidate)

outputs = model(path, task="audiocaps")
candidate = outputs["cands"][0]
print(candidate)
```

## Usage with command line
Simply use the command `conette-predict` with `--audio PATH1 PATH2 ...` option. You can also export results to a CSV file using `--csv_export PATH`.

```bash
conette-predict --audio "/your/path/to/audio.wav"
```

## Performance

| Test data | SPIDEr (%) | SPIDEr-FL (%) | FENSE (%) | Vocab | Outputs | Scores |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| AC-test | 44.14 | 43.98 | 60.81 | 309 | [Link](https://github.com/Labbeti/conette-audio-captioning/blob/main/results/conette/outputs_audiocaps_test.csv) | [Link](https://github.com/Labbeti/conette-audio-captioning/blob/main/results/conette/scores_audiocaps_test.yaml) |
| CL-eval | 30.97 | 30.87 | 51.72 | 636 | [Link](https://github.com/Labbeti/conette-audio-captioning/blob/main/results/conette/outputs_clotho_eval.csv) | [Link](https://github.com/Labbeti/conette-audio-captioning/blob/main/results/conette/scores_clotho_eval.yaml) |

This model checkpoint has been trained for the Clotho dataset, but it can also reach a good performance on AudioCaps with the "audiocaps" task.

## Limitations
The model has been trained on audio sampled at 32 kHz and lasting from 1 to 30 seconds. It can handle longer audio files, but it might give worse results.

## Additional information

- Model weights are available on HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/Labbeti/conette
- The encoder part of the architecture is based on a ConvNeXt model for audio classification, available here: https://huggingface.co/topel/ConvNeXt-Tiny-AT. More precisely, the encoder weights used are named "convnext_tiny_465mAP_BL_AC_70kit.pth", available on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/8020843.
