Fine-tuned French Voxpopuli v2 wav2vec2-base model for speech-to-phoneme task in French

Fine-tuned facebook/wav2vec2-base-fr-voxpopuli-v2 for French speech-to-phoneme (without language model) using the train and validation splits of Common Voice v13.

Audio samplerate for usage

When using this model, make sure that your speech input is sampled at 16kHz.

Output

As this model is specifically trained for a speech-to-phoneme task, the output is sequence of IPA-encoded words, without punctuation. If you don't read the phonetic alphabet fluently, you can use this excellent IPA reader website to convert the transcript back to audio synthetic speech in order to check the quality of the phonetic transcription.

Training procedure

The model has been finetuned on Commonvoice-v13 (FR) for 14 epochs on a 4x2080 Ti GPUs at Cnam/LMMSC using a ddp strategy and gradient-accumulation procedure (256 audios per update, corresponding roughly to 25 minutes of speech per update -> 2k updates per epoch)

  • Learning rate schedule : Double Tri-state schedule

    • Warmup from 1e-5 for 7% of total updates
    • Constant at 1e-4 for 28% of total updates
    • Linear decrease to 1e-6 for 36% of total updates
    • Second warmup boost to 3e-5 for 3% of total updates
    • Constant at 3e-5 for 12% of total updates
    • Linear decrease to 1e-7 for remaining 14% of updates
  • The set of hyperparameters used for training are the same as those detailed in Annex B and Table 6 of wav2vec2 paper.

Usage (using the online Inference API)

Just record your voice on the ⚡ Inference API on this webpage, and then click on "Compute", that's all !

Usage (with HuggingSound library)

The model can be used directly using the HuggingSound library:

import pandas as pd
from huggingsound import SpeechRecognitionModel

model = SpeechRecognitionModel("Cnam-LMSSC/wav2vec2-french-phonemizer")
audio_paths = ["./test_relecture_texte.wav", "./10179_11051_000021.flac"]

# No need for the Audio files to be sampled at 16 kHz here,
# they are automatically resampled by Huggingsound

transcriptions = model.transcribe(audio_paths)

# (Optionnal) Display results in a table :
## transcriptions is list of dicts also containing timestamps and probabilities !

df = pd.DataFrame(transcriptions)
df['Audio file'] = pd.DataFrame(audio_paths)
df.set_index('Audio file', inplace=True)
df[['transcription']]

Output :

Inference script (if you do not want to use the huggingsound library) :

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor
from datasets import load_dataset
import soundfile as sf # Or Librosa if you prefer to ... 

MODEL_ID = "Cnam-LMSSC/wav2vec2-french-phonemizer"

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

audio = sf.read('example.wav')
# Make sure you have a 16 kHz sampled audio file, or resample it !

inputs = processor(np.array(audio[0]),sampling_rate=16_000., return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
  logits = model(**inputs).logits

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits,dim = -1)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)

print("Phonetic transcription : ", transcription)

Output :

'ʒə syi tʁɛ kɔ̃tɑ̃ də vu pʁezɑ̃te notʁ solysjɔ̃ puʁ fonomize dez odjo fasilmɑ̃ sa fɔ̃ksjɔn kɑ̃ mɛm tʁɛ bjɛ̃'

Test Results:

In the table below, we report the Phoneme Error Rate (PER) of the model on both Common Voice and Multilingual Librispeech (using the French configs for both datasets of course), when finetuned on Common Voice train set only :

Model Test Set PER
Cnam-LMSSC/wav2vec2-french-phonemizer Common Voice v13 (French) 5.52%
Cnam-LMSSC/wav2vec2-french-phonemizer Multilingual Librispeech (French) 4.36%
