            Lifecycle OnLifecycleEvent is deprecated
            Asked 2022-Feb-25 at 18:06

            After updating lifecycle library to 2.4.0 Android studio marked all Lifecycle events as deprecated.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-16 at 18:53

            It's deprecated because they now expect you to use Java 8 and implement the interface DefaultLifecycleObserver. Since Java 8 allows interfaces to have default implementations, they defined DefaultLifecycleObserver with empty implementations of all the methods so you only need to override the ones you use.

            The old way of marking functions with @OnLifecycleEvent was a crutch for pre-Java 8 projects. This was the only way to allow a class to selectively choose which lifecycle events it cared about. The alternative would have been to force those classes to override all the lifecycle interface methods, even if leaving them empty.

            In your case, change your class to implement DefaultLifecycleObserver and change your functions to override the applicable functions of DefaultLifecycleObserver. If your project isn't using Java 8 yet, you need to update your Gradle build files. Put these in the android block in your module's build.gradle:

            About the usage of vocoders
            Asked 2022-Feb-01 at 23:05

            I'm quite new to AI and I'm currently developing a model for non-parallel voice conversions. One confusing problem that I have is the use of vocoders.

            So my model needs Mel spectrograms as the input and the current model that I'm working on is using the MelGAN vocoder (Github link) which can generate 22050Hz Mel spectrograms from raw wav files (which is what I need) and back. I recently tried WaveGlow Vocoder (PyPI link) which can also generate Mel spectrograms from raw wav files and back.

            But, in other models such as, WaveRNN , VocGAN , WaveGrad There's no clear explanation about wav to Mel spectrograms generation. Do most of these models don't require the wav to Mel spectrograms feature because they largely cater to TTS models like Tacotron? or is it possible that all of these have that feature and I'm just not aware of it?

            A clarification would be highly appreciated.

            How neural vocoders handle audio -> mel

            Check e.g. this part of the MelGAN code: https://github.com/descriptinc/melgan-neurips/blob/master/mel2wav/modules.py#L26

            Specifically, the Audio2Mel module simply uses standard methods to create log-magnitude mel spectrograms like this:

            • Compute the STFT by applying the Fourier transform to windows of the input audio,
            • Take the magnitude of the resulting complex spectrogram,
            • Multiply the magnitude spectrogram by a mel filter matrix. Note that they actually get this matrix from librosa!
            • Take the logarithm of the resulting mel spectrogram.
            Regarding the confusion

            Your confusion might stem from the fact that, usually, authors of Deep Learning papers only mean their mel-to-audio "decoder" when they talk about "vocoders" -- the audio-to-mel part is always more or less the same. I say this might be confusing since, to my understanding, the classical meaning of the term "vocoder" includes both an encoder and a decoder.

            Unfortunately, these methods will not always work exactly in the same manner as there are e.g. different methods to create the mel filter matrix, different padding conventions etc.

            For example, librosa.stft has a center argument that will pad the audio before applying the STFT, while tensorflow.signal.stft does not have this (it would require manual padding beforehand).

            An example for the different methods to create mel filters would be the htk argument in librosa.filters.mel, which switches between the "HTK" method and "Slaney". Again taking Tensorflow as an example, tf.signal.linear_to_mel_weight_matrix does not support this argument and always uses the HTK method. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with torchaudio, so I don't know if you need to be careful there, as well.

            Finally, there are of course many parameters such as the STFT window size, hop length, the frequencies covered by the mel filters etc, and changing these relative to what a reference implementation used may impact your results. Since different code repositories likely use slightly different parameters, I suppose the answer to your question "will every method do the operation(to create a mel spectrogram) in the same manner?" is "not really". At the end of the day, you will have to settle for one set of parameters either way...

            Bonus: Why are these all only decoders and the encoder is always the same?

            The direction Mel -> Audio is hard. Not even Mel -> ("normal") spectrogram is well-defined since the conversion to mel spectrum is lossy and cannot be inverted. Finally, converting a spectrogram to audio is difficult since the phase needs to be estimated. You may be familiar with methods like Griffin-Lim (again, librosa has it so you can try it out). These produce noisy, low-quality audio. So the research focuses on improving this process using powerful models.

            On the other hand, Audio -> Mel is simple, well-defined and fast. There is no need to define "custom encoders".

            Now, a whole different question is whether mel spectrograms are a "good" encoding. Using methods like variational autoencoders, you could perhaps find better (e.g. more compact, less lossy) audio encodings. These would include custom encoders and decoders and you would not get away with standard librosa functions...

            Combining Object Detection with Text to Speech Code

            I am trying to write an object detection + text-to-speech code to detect objects and produce a voice output on the raspberry pi 4. However, as of right now, I am trying to write a simple python script that incorporates both elements into a single .py file and preferably as a function. I will then run this script on the raspberry pi. I want to give credit to Murtaza's Workshop "Object Detection OpenCV Python | Easy and Fast (2020)" and https://pypi.org/project/pyttsx3/ for the Text to speech documentation for pyttsx3. I have attached the code below. I have tried running the program and I always keep getting errors with the Text to speech code (commented lines 33-36 for reference). I believe it is some looping error but I just can't seem to get the program to run continuously. For instance, if I run the code without the TTS part, it works fine. Otherwise, it runs for perhaps 3-5 seconds and suddenly stops. I am a beginner but highly passionate in computer vision, and any help is appreciated!
