Usage

The Conformer convolutional module, the main novelty of the paper

import torch
from conformer import ConformerConvModule

layer = ConformerConvModule(
    dim = 512,
    causal = False,             # auto-regressive or not - 1d conv will be made causal with padding if so
    expansion_factor = 2,       # what multiple of the dimension to expand for the depthwise convolution
    kernel_size = 31,           # kernel size, 17 - 31 was said to be optimal
    dropout = 0.                # dropout at the very end
)

x = torch.randn(1, 1024, 512)
x = layer(x) + x

1 Conformer Block

import torch
from conformer import ConformerBlock

block = ConformerBlock(
    dim = 512,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8,
    ff_mult = 4,
    conv_expansion_factor = 2,
    conv_kernel_size = 31,
    attn_dropout = 0.,
    ff_dropout = 0.,
    conv_dropout = 0.
)

x = torch.randn(1, 1024, 512)
block(x) # (1, 1024, 512)
