Fine-tuned XLSR-53 large model for speech recognition in Dutch

Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53 on Dutch using the train and validation splits of Common Voice 6.1 and CSS10. When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

This model has been fine-tuned thanks to the GPU credits generously given by the OVHcloud :)

The script used for training can be found here: https://github.com/jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-sprint

Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows...

Using the HuggingSound library:

from huggingsound import SpeechRecognitionModel

model = SpeechRecognitionModel("jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-dutch")
audio_paths = ["/path/to/file.mp3", "/path/to/another_file.wav"]

transcriptions = model.transcribe(audio_paths)

Writing your own inference script:

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

LANG_ID = "nl"
MODEL_ID = "jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-dutch"
SAMPLES = 10

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", LANG_ID, split=f"test[:{SAMPLES}]")

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)

# Preprocessing the datasets.
# We need to read the audio files as arrays
def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
    speech_array, sampling_rate = librosa.load(batch["path"], sr=16_000)
    batch["speech"] = speech_array
    batch["sentence"] = batch["sentence"].upper()
    return batch

test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
inputs = processor(test_dataset["speech"], 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)
predicted_sentences = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

for i, predicted_sentence in enumerate(predicted_sentences):
    print("-" * 100)
    print("Reference:", test_dataset[i]["sentence"])
    print("Prediction:", predicted_sentence)

speaker-diarization-3.1

Pyannote

Using this open-source model in production? Consider switching to pyannoteAI for better and faster options. This pipeline is the same as pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.0 except it removes the problematic use of onnxruntime. Both speaker segmentation and embedding now run in pure PyTorch. This should ease deployment and possibly speed up inference. It requires pyannote.audio version 3.1 or higher. It ingests mono audio sampled at 16kHz and outputs speaker diarization as an Annotation instance: - stereo or multi-channel audio files are automatically downmixed to mono by averaging the channels. - audio files sampled at a different rate are resampled to 16kHz automatically upon loading. 1.…

This pipeline ingests mono audio sampled at 16kHz and outputs speaker diarization. - stereo or multi-channel audio files are automatically downmixed to mono by averaging the channels. - audio files sampled at a different rate are resampled to 16kHz automatically upon loading. The main improvements brought by Community-1 are: - improved speaker assignment and counting - simpler reconciliation with transcription timestamps with exclusive speaker diarization - easy offline use (i.e. without internet connection) - (optionally) hosted on pyannoteAI cloud 1. pip install pyannote.audio 3. Create access token at hf.co/settings/tokens. Out of the box, Community-1 is much better than…
