Whisper-base Thai finetuned

1) Environment Setup

bash

# visit https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ to install pytorch
pip3 install transformers librosa

2) Usage

python

from transformers import WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperProcessor
import librosa

device = "cuda" # cpu, cuda

model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("juierror/whisper-base-thai").to(device)
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained("juierror/whisper-base-thai", language="Thai", task="transcribe")

path = "/path/to/audio/file"

def inference(path: str) -> str:
    """
    Get the transcription from audio path

    Args:
        path(str): path to audio file (can be load with librosa)

    Returns:
        str: transcription
    """
    audio, sr = librosa.load(path, sr=16000)
    input_features = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt").input_features
    generated_tokens = model.generate(
        input_features=input_features.to(device),
        max_new_tokens=255,
        language="Thai"
    ).cpu()
    transcriptions = processor.tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
    return transcriptions[0]

print(inference(path=path))

3) Evaluate Result

This model has been trained and evaluated on three datasets:

Common Voice 13
- The Common Voice dataset has been cleaned and divided into training, testing, and development sets. Care has been taken to ensure that the sentences in each set are unique and do not have any duplicates.
Gowajee Corpus
- The Gowajee dataset has already been pre-split into training, development, and testing sets, allowing for direct utilization.

Thai Elderly Speech
- As for the Thai Elderly Speech dataset, I performed a random split.

The Character Error Rate (CER) is calculated by removing spaces in both the labels and predicted text, and then computing the CER. The Word Error Rate (WER) is calculated using the PythaiNLP newmm tokenizer to tokenize both the labels and predicted text, and then computing the WER.

These are the results.

Dataset	WER	CER
Common Voice 13	15.89	4.32
Gowajee	19.58	9.01
Thai Elderly Speech (Smart Home)	7.13	2.21
Thai Elderly Speech (Health Care)	6.75	1.89
