IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Cyrille Rossant

Overview of this book

Python is one of the leading open source platforms for data science and numerical computing. IPython and the associated Jupyter Notebook offer efficient interfaces to Python for data analysis and interactive visualization, and they constitute an ideal gateway to the platform. IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook, Second Edition contains many ready-to-use, focused recipes for high-performance scientific computing and data analysis, from the latest IPython/Jupyter features to the most advanced tricks, to help you write better and faster code. You will apply these state-of-the-art methods to various real-world examples, illustrating topics in applied mathematics, scientific modeling, and machine learning. The first part of the book covers programming techniques: code quality and reproducibility, code optimization, high-performance computing through just-in-time compilation, parallel computing, and graphics card programming. The second part tackles data science, statistics, machine learning, signal and image processing, dynamical systems, and pure and applied mathematics.

Applying digital filters to speech sounds

In this recipe, we will show how to play sounds in the Notebook. We will also illustrate the effect of simple digital filters on speech sounds.

Getting ready

You need the pydub package. You can install it with pip install pydub or download it from https://github.com/jiaaro/pydub/.

This package requires the open source multimedia library FFmpeg for the decompression of MP3 files, available at http://www.ffmpeg.org.

How to do it

  1. Let's import the packages:

    >>> from io import BytesIO
    import tempfile
    import requests
    import numpy as np
    import scipy.signal as sg
    import pydub
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    from IPython.display import Audio, display
    %matplotlib inline

  2. We create a Python function that loads an MP3 sound and returns a NumPy array with the raw sound data:

    >>> def speak(data):
        # We convert the mp3 bytes to wav.
        audio = pydub.AudioSegment.from_mp3(BytesIO(data))
        with tempfile.TemporaryFile...
