# S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR
`s2t-small-librispeech-asr` is a Speech to Text Transformer (S2T) model trained for automatic speech recognition (ASR).
The S2T model was proposed in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.05171) and released in
[this repository](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/speech_to_text)
## Model description
S2T is an end-to-end sequence-to-sequence transformer model. It is trained with standard
autoregressive cross-entropy loss and generates the transcripts autoregressively.
## Intended uses & limitations
This model can be used for end-to-end speech recognition (ASR).
See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=speech_to_text) to look for other S2T checkpoints.
### How to use
As this a standard sequence to sequence transformer model, you can use the `generate` method to generate the
transcripts by passing the speech features to the model.
*Note: The `Speech2TextProcessor` object uses [torchaudio](https://github.com/pytorch/audio) to extract the
filter bank features. Make sure to install the `torchaudio` package before running this example.*
*Note: The feature extractor depends on [torchaudio](https://github.com/pytorch/audio) and the tokenizer depends on [sentencepiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece)
so be sure to install those packages before running the examples.*
You could either install those as extra speech dependancies with
`pip install transformers"[speech, sentencepiece]"` or install the packages seperatly
with `pip install torchaudio sentencepiece`.
```python
import torch
from transformers import Speech2TextProcessor, Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration
from datasets import load_dataset
model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")
processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")
ds = load_dataset(
"patrickvonplaten/librispeech_asr_dummy",
"clean",
split="validation"
)
input_features = processor(
ds[0]["audio"]["array"],
sampling_rate=16_000,
return_tensors="pt"
).input_features # Batch size 1
generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids=input_features)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids)
```
#### Evaluation on LibriSpeech Test
The following script shows how to evaluate this model on the [LibriSpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/librispeech_asr)
*"clean"* and *"other"* test dataset.
```python
from datasets import load_dataset, load_metric
from transformers import Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration, Speech2TextProcessor
librispeech_eval = load_dataset("librispeech_asr", "clean", split="test") # change to "other" for other test dataset
wer = load_metric("wer")
model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr").to("cuda")
processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr", do_upper_case=True)
librispeech_eval = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_array)
def map_to_pred(batch):
features = processor(batch["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=16000, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")
input_features = features.input_features.to("cuda")
attention_mask = features.attention_mask.to("cuda")
gen_tokens = model.generate(input_ids=input_features, attention_mask=attention_mask)
batch["transcription"] = processor.batch_decode(gen_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
return batch
result = librispeech_eval.map(map_to_pred, batched=True, batch_size=8, remove_columns=["speech"])
print("WER:", wer(predictions=result["transcription"], references=result["text"]))
```
*Result (WER)*:
| "clean" | "other" |
|:-------:|:-------:|
| 4.3 | 9.0 |
## Training data
The S2T-SMALL-LIBRISPEECH-ASR is trained on [LibriSpeech ASR Corpus](https://www.openslr.org/12), a dataset consisting of
approximately 1000 hours of 16kHz read English speech.
## Training procedure
### Preprocessing
The speech data is pre-processed by extracting Kaldi-compliant 80-channel log mel-filter bank features automatically from
WAV/FLAC audio files via PyKaldi or torchaudio. Further utterance-level CMVN (cepstral mean and variance normalization)
is applied to each example.
The texts are lowercased and tokenized using SentencePiece and a vocabulary size of 10,000.
### Training
The model is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and using [SpecAugment](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.08779).
The encoder receives speech features, and the decoder generates the transcripts autoregressively.
