Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on Esperanto 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", "eo", split="test[:2%]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained('gchhablani/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-eo')
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained('gchhablani/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-eo')


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

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the aduio 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 Portuguese test data of Common Voice.

python

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

import jiwer

def chunked_wer(targets, predictions, chunk_size=None):
    if chunk_size is None: return jiwer.wer(targets, predictions)
    start = 0
    end = chunk_size
    H, S, D, I = 0, 0, 0, 0
    while start < len(targets):
        chunk_metrics = jiwer.compute_measures(targets[start:end], predictions[start:end])
        H = H + chunk_metrics["hits"]
        S = S + chunk_metrics["substitutions"]
        D = D + chunk_metrics["deletions"]
        I = I + chunk_metrics["insertions"]
        start += chunk_size
        end += chunk_size
    return float(S + D + I) / float(H + S + D)

    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)
        batch["pred_strings"] = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)
    return batch

result = test_dataset.map(evaluate, batched=True, batch_size=8)

print("WER: {:2f}".format(100 * chunked_wer(predictions=result["pred_strings"], targets=result["sentence"],chunk_size=5000)))
