# Model Card 

- **Developed by:** [Cnam-LMSSC](https://huggingface.co/Cnam-LMSSC)
- **Model type:** [Wav2Vec2ForCTC](https://huggingface.co/transformers/v4.9.2/model_doc/wav2vec2.html#transformers.Wav2Vec2ForCTC)
- **Language:** French
- **License:** MIT
- **Finetuned from model:** [facebook/wav2vec2-base-fr-voxpopuli-v2](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-base-fr-voxpopuli-v2)
- **Finetuned dataset:** `throat_microphone` audio of the `speech_clean` subset of [Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox) (see [VibraVox paper on arXiV](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.11828))
- **Samplerate for usage:** 16kHz

## Output

As this model is specifically trained for a speech-to-phoneme task, the output is sequence of [IPA-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet) words, without punctuation.
If you don't read the phonetic alphabet fluently, you can use this excellent [IPA reader website](http://ipa-reader.xyz) to convert the transcript back to audio synthetic speech in order to check the quality of the phonetic transcription.

## Link to phonemizer models trained on other body conducted sensors : 

An entry point to all **phonemizers** models trained on different sensor data from the [Vibravox dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox) is available at [https://huggingface.co/Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox_phonemizers](https://huggingface.co/Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox_phonemizers).  

### Disclaimer
Each of these models has been trained for a **specific non-conventional speech sensor** and is intended to be used with **in-domain data**. The only exception is the headset microphone phonemizer, which can certainly be used for many applications using audio data captured by airborne microphones.

Please be advised that using these models outside their intended sensor data may result in suboptimal performance.

## Training procedure

The model has been finetuned for 10 epochs with a constant learning rate of *1e-5*. To reproduce experiment please visit [jhauret/vibravox](https://github.com/jhauret/vibravox).

## Inference script : 

```python
import torch, torchaudio
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCTC
from datasets import load_dataset

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Cnam-LMSSC/phonemizer_throat_microphone")
model = AutoModelForCTC.from_pretrained("Cnam-LMSSC/phonemizer_throat_microphone")
test_dataset = load_dataset("Cnam-LMSSC/vibravox", "speech_clean", split="test", streaming=True)

audio_48kHz = torch.Tensor(next(iter(test_dataset))["audio.throat_microphone"]["array"])
audio_16kHz = torchaudio.functional.resample(audio_48kHz, orig_freq=48_000, new_freq=16_000)

inputs = processor(audio_16kHz, sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt")
logits = model(inputs.input_values).logits
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits,dim = -1)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

print("Phonetic transcription : ", transcription)
```
