Wav2Vec2-Large-XLSR-53-German

Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on German using 3% of 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:

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

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

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("marcel/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-german-demo")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("marcel/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-german-demo") 

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 {language} test data of Common Voice.

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

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "de", split="test[:10%]")
wer = load_metric("wer")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("marcel/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-german-demo")
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained("marcel/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-german-demo") 
model.to("cuda")

def evaluate(batch):

    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
