# Sharif-wav2vec2

This is the fine-tuned version of Sharif Wav2vec2 for Farsi. The base model was fine-tuned on 108 hours of Commonvoice's Farsi samples with a sampling rate equal to 16kHz. Afterward, we trained a 5gram using [kenlm](https://github.com/kpu/kenlm) toolkit and used it in the processor which increased our accuracy on online ASR. When using the model make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16Khz. Prior to the usage, you may need to install the below dependencies:

```shell
pip -q install pyctcdecode
python -m pip -q install pypi-kenlm
```

For testing you can use the hoster API at the hugging face (There are provided examples from common voice) it may take a while to transcribe the given voice. Or you can use bellow code for local run:

```python
import tensorflow
import torchaudio
import torch
import numpy as np

from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCTC

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("SLPL/Sharif-wav2vec2")
model = AutoModelForCTC.from_pretrained("SLPL/Sharif-wav2vec2")

speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load("path/to/your.wav")
speech_array = speech_array.squeeze().numpy()

features = processor(
    speech_array,
    sampling_rate=processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate,
    return_tensors="pt",
    padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(
        features.input_values,
        attention_mask=features.attention_mask).logits
    prediction = processor.batch_decode(logits.numpy()).text

print(prediction[0])
# تست

# **Abstract**

<!--
We show for the first time that learning powerful representations from speech audio alone followed by fine-tuning on transcribed speech can outperform the best semi-supervised methods while being conceptually simpler. wav2vec 2.0 masks the speech input in the latent space and solves a contrastive task defined over a quantization of the latent representations which are jointly learned. Experiments using all labeled data of Librispeech achieve 1.8/3.3 WER on the clean/other test sets. When lowering the amount of labeled data to one hour, wav2vec 2.0 outperforms the previous state of the art on the 100 hour subset while using 100 times less labeled data. Using just ten minutes of labeled data and pre-training on 53k hours of unlabeled data still achieves 4.8/8.2 WER. This demonstrates the feasibility of speech recognition with limited amounts of labeled data.

# Usage

To transcribe Persian audio files the model can be used as a standalone acoustic model as follows:

```python
 from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC
 from datasets import load_dataset
 import torch
 
 # load model and tokenizer
 processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("SLPL/Sharif-wav2vec2")
 model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("SLPL/Sharif-wav2vec2")
     
 # load dummy dataset and read soundfiles
# ds = load_dataset("patrickvonplaten/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
 
 # tokenize
 input_values = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values  # Batch size 1
 
 # retrieve logits
 logits = model(input_values).logits
 
 # take argmax and decode
 predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
 transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
 ```
 
 ## Evaluation
 
 This code snippet shows how to evaluate **facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h** on LibriSpeech's "clean" and "other" test data.
 
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor
import torch
from jiwer import wer


librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test")

model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h").to("cuda")
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h")

def map_to_pred(batch):
    input_values = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt", padding="longest").input_values
    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(input_values.to("cuda")).logits

    predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
    transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
    batch["transcription"] = transcription
    return batch

result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=1, remove_columns=["audio"])

print("WER:", wer(result["text"], result["transcription"]))
```

*Result (WER)*:

| "clean" | "other" |
|---|---|
| 3.4 | 8.6 |
