whisper medium fine-tuned on CommonVoice-14.0 Hindi
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech recognition from an end-to-end whisper model fine-tuned on CommonVoice (Hindi Language) within SpeechBrain. For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain.
The performance of the model is the following:
| Release | Test CER | Test WER | GPUs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-08-23 | 8.16 | 17.04 | 1xV100 32GB |
Pipeline description
This ASR system is composed of whisper encoder-decoder blocks:
- The pretrained whisper-medium encoder is frozen.
- The pretrained Whisper tokenizer is used.
- A pretrained Whisper-medium decoder (openai/whisper-medium) is finetuned on CommonVoice hi. The obtained final acoustic representation is given to the greedy decoder.
The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling transcribe_file if needed.
Install SpeechBrain
First of all, please install tranformers and SpeechBrain with the following command:
pip install speechbrain transformers
Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain.
Transcribing your own audio files (in Hindi)
from speechbrain.inference.ASR import WhisperASR
asr_model = WhisperASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-whisper-medium-commonvoice-hi", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-whisper-medium-commonvoice-hi")
asr_model.transcribe_file("speechbrain/asr-whisper-medium-commonvoice-hi/example-hi.mp3")
Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.
Training
The model was trained with SpeechBrain. To train it from scratch follow these steps:
- Clone SpeechBrain:
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/
- Install it:
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
- Run Training:
cd recipes/CommonVoice/ASR/transformer/
python train_with_whisper.py hparams/train_hi_hf_whisper.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder
You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here.
Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
