Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on Kyrgyz using the Common Voice dataset. When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows:

python

import torch
import torchaudio
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "ky", split="test[:2%]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("anton-l/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-kyrgyz")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("anton-l/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-kyrgyz")

resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the audio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
    speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
    batch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
    return batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
inputs = processor(test_dataset["speech"][:2], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(inputs.input_values, attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask).logits

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)

print("Prediction:", processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids))
print("Reference:", test_dataset["sentence"][:2])

Evaluation

The model can be evaluated as follows on the Kyrgyz test data of Common Voice.

python

    row["sentence"] = clean_sentence(row["sentence"])
    speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(clips_path + row["path"])
    resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(sampling_rate, 16_000)
    row["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()

    inputs = processor(row["speech"], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(inputs.input_values.to("cuda"), attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask.to("cuda")).logits

    pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)

    targets.append(row["sentence"])
    preds.append(processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)[0])

print("WER: {:2f}".format(100 * wer.compute(predictions=preds, references=targets)))
